Hello Forum members,

I can assure you that our team is not 'Blase' about this issue and that we would also like a technical solution that prevents these spam posts from appearing on the forum. We spend most of our working hours taking calls on the helpline and netline, and during the limited time we are working on the forum we would far rather be reading your posts than deleting spam. Our forum manager has instructed the website engineers to work on this issue and we all hope that a technical solution will be working soon.

Thank you for caring about the forum.

Kind regards,

Forum admin.

Rather than using a captcha which is very inaccessible and annoying perhaps you could use the honey pot technique?

Well Im certainly posting much less because its and extra step that shouldnt be needed and becomes annoying after a short while.

The forum users shouldnt have to be ticking off pictures of cars until there are no more. It took me a while to even realise how it properly works but even at its easiest its still annoying like I have to pass a silly test each time. I also edit a fair bit as I think it out so its even more annoying.

I dont think it is bots as these spammers will copy and paste over multiple posts. Its not as if they have anything better to do if a day at the office consists of sending these messages out.
