The spam posts are getting worse - nearly a whole page today. Has anyone looked into the source of these? Hopefully no-one visiting the site is trying to open them.

Hi gamparentanon

We are working closely with our webmasters to try and rectify this ongoing problem, but it looks like there is no solution as of yet. We are trying to keep on top of this manually for the moment and all recent spam has now been removed.

Thank you for your understanding and for flagging the issue.

Best wishes

Thank God all that rubbish has been removed. Hope they don't come back. What's their motivation and what could happen if you did open one of the posts? Phil

Hello SamePhil,

If you see a post which you believe is spam or an inappropriate post, then please don't click on any links within that post. Similarly if an inappropriate or spam post contains contact details like telephone numbers or email addresses, please don't use these.

If you like, you can report the presence of an inappropriate post by clicking on the 'Flag this as abusive' button, which will bring it to the attention of the forum admin.

Thanks,

Forum Admin.
