Spammers

[stephendell]

Due to the high number of spammers I have turned on manual account activation. That means there may be a short delay before newly registered users can use the forum.

I had already turned on the visual code activation, but obviously software has been written to get around this. Notice that on ebay the visual code is now almost undecipherable even for the human user!!

Anyway they are gone and won't be coming back!! Hopefully!

If there is anyone still on there (apart from the fossil man) that I've missed let me know.

there are one or two other 'spammers' out there.......... clee, david gent....

Spanners not Spammers

Stephen, why not appoint some moderators to clean it up when you are not online?

There are a bunch of guest postings that are obviously spam that
need deleting. You may need to ban guests from posting if they
don't give up.

Cheers,

mr webmaster, I am a bit worried about the newest online member, and what their intentions might be?

Yes I deleted 140 spammers today!!

[stephendell]

Just had another clear out.

Deleted about 700 idiots and drug sellers.

Let me know if I've missed anyone.
