Advertising/bot threads
Apologies to forum members for the continuing spam...Admin are working on the problem, and the temp mods are deleting constantly.
I quite like them, they are a lot easier to read than Surfs posts.

got to admit that that's quite funny irony!
Surely someone is taking the piss now?!
My internet is running painfully slowly, but I am deleting posts all the time.
This latest spammer is replying to threads which means more clicks to delete than when they start new threads and we can delete the whole thread.

What absolute bells they are.
Is it individual people doing it or is it a programme that is intelligent enough to do it without human assistance?

Think most of these are bots..they are constantly registering and posting. And until banned, some of them are posting every three or four minutes. In addition..a couple of `sleepers` have appeared the last couple of days...older registrations that have no sig, and suddenly start posting after weeks or months.
Cant you just ban the IP range for them?

Admin and senior mods can. We juniors can only delete sadly hence why we get so many threads until a grown up arrives

We have asked for temporary banning powers until this is sorted....but Admin have yet to look into it`s feasability and get back to us.

I prefer `a diplomatic expression of frustration`.😉

Basically the Admin and senior mods make so much money from patrons that they tend to be on holiday or in the pub
