Re: Spam and advertising on the Forums
Hey all,
I have no idea why the spamming has suddenly started up again - we're getting to the bottom of it as fast as we can. Hang tight please and keep reporting it when you see it!
Thanks!

Re: Spam and advertising on the Forums
Merlin, you can spot the spammers before they post...in their profile they have "Forum" listed as "Occupation"
Edit...ignore this...it would seem that anyone who hasn't specified an occupation has "Forum" in that part of the profile...
Any chance of sorting out the "Submit" button??

There is something funny when the spammers spam the 'Spam & Advertising' anti-spam thread............or am I just perversely anarchic???
