What the hell is going on with the forum?
« on: June 11, 2019, 07:23:10 am »
The last two days now I log in in the morning, look at recent posts and they are drowned with spam from several different users? over 100 posts and its still going on!!!!!! What gives? What's changed that's allowing these vermin to slip through the net?

The worst part is i tried to open them and report them in the hope they would be deleted quickly and I get an error telling me I can only report one post every 20 seconds!?  :signLOL:

I'll come back in a week or so as this has wound me up already this morning  :signLOL:

No worries.


I was wondering where can we sub to the forum. I ask as I always use Tapatalk and I don’t really know the full forum that well.

I’ll keep my money then

Nice one guys, not blaming the mods in any way as the sheer volume of them this morning was plain daft

And cheers Dazza for sorting it, much appreciated

Should be fixed now.  :pomppomp:

And please remember we are only hiding these and the moderators have to review them to filter out the legitimate users  :congrats:

It’s the registration system needs changing. Somehow.
