    Re: Nonsense

    This’ll kill off the Oz forum – they don’t post in office hours, and there is some interesting traffic goes on.

    I suggested to DC a while ago using the “type-in-the-cross-hatched-number” bit as a portal to the public forums – this auto-spam crap won’t be able to type in a number, however your average human should be able to, leaving Johnny Public free to post.

    We have been banging on for months about one of the beauties of UKW was the ease of access for the Public. We will now lose this.

    There’s little choice Chris. 🙁

    Sadly the spammers have put paid to the open nature of UKW, just as they have to a great many other web forums. And, it was not automated, it was a shedload of Mexicans and Russians trying to earn a living through spamming legitimate sites.

    In a way they win and in a way we do to by keeping the forums clear of their muck.

    In the reviews again, deleted over 100 spam replies tonight, some have been there for some time, I must set a reminder to check them once a week I think 😉

    I wish I had actually done that now 😯

    An hour deleting spam from the reviews is not my idea of fun 🙁

    Dave, Li asked to be notified of these instances so he can block it. But you need to leave some. 😉
