Nearly every part of the forum has the chinese spam on it. This is very worrying...the problem is getting worse all the time it seems.

As I said last week which was ignored simply adding captcha to the sign up would stop spam bots flooding the site

Thanks, Rebecca

The Spamsters have returned! There has to be a long-term solution to this problem surely?

The developers must be on half term.

This is disgraceful! I can understand it over night but @ 1514 in the afternoon to have the current pages littered with the spam, really?!?

I struggled to find the 2017 challenge today due to the spam messages - surely this can be sorted / avoided.

Come on GamCare, you HAVE to sort this out...This is totally unacceptable!

How can it be that we get starred out for minor dictionary infringements but a filter can't be sorted for pages & pages (21 in one night recently...pages not entries) of spam?!?

We want captcha! - send me the access details, and I'll login and change the code to add it myself. :).

I read somewhere that the techno whizz's hope to sort it this week, so I ain't going to complain. Can someone answer me though, what is actually achieved by people posting spam? I was just wondering why they do it.

I think it's just spite? Can't see any financial gain on a website like this.
