Amount of spam on the forum

Adam · Post by **Adam** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 6:02 am

Just a little update, our battle with spam on the forums should be noticeable by now. Whole domains from which the spammers post are being banned. It is a relentless job at times, I have personally spent a lot of time, as have the other Mods and Admins deleting posts and accounts.

Time that could have been better spent posting replies to members querries.

Thanks for everyones patience in this matter and for the vote of confidence in what we do.

Regards.

Adam

There's more to come

A testserver has been set up where the forum is now upgraded, mods for spam proofing installed, and a few other mods as well that we hope you'll all enjoy

Still some time remaining before putting the changes "in production", but Kingfisher is working hard on it. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long

Looks like Christmas has come early for us this year.

By the way John I have found your secret stash of smilies.

It's going to be a GREAT day, when things are put straight here. We should have a party, and the special guests should be Kingfisher & all the other Mods

THANKS

Hey Adam, let us in on John's secret stash

He can't keep it to himself! (else I'll have to have a word or two with him:twisted: )

Don't blame me I didn't say anything.

As for

I'm afraid it's too late, she is already out as of yesterday. Looks like daddy pulled some strings.

Just imagine what your fishroom would look like if your last name was Hilton...

It was actually the fact that John went outside to find some emoticons that was the reason why we thought "hey, we really need some new ones"

So thanks for that John

(I found them too btw, but don't think we could just grab them

)

As for

, they are working on getting her back again.

It was a too obious case of one set of rules for the rich and another for the rest of us I guess
