Re: Spammer's

All forums get it but overall dyr does not get it too bad.

There are tell tail signs tho like silly usernames.

U and hg do a great job.

All u can do is your best.

u can always tell as u get tons of posts by the same people each persons posts are identical and normally very long.
i doubt they actually sit and type out the same out but who knows.

I get messages on my mobile phone sometimes off scams just ignore them.I will only reply to names that I know.

Got messages a couple of years back telling me go to this link and make £500 a day I didnt even go into it just deleted it out.
Had PPIs messages scams still come in on the landline but we dont reply unless its family or friends numbers.You have to have your wits about you

I have asked Admin to turn off new registrations as there is a never ending tide signing up.

I know when time wasters have joined when they post meaningless websites to look at

Re: Spammers

On some boards your first post will only show if it has ben approved by a moderator. This means that a new poster has to wait hours, even days for his first post to show up in discussion. This always sucks. Allowing a few spam messages through is the price form avoiding that, and its the better opf the two alternatives.

Re: Spammer's

Cleaned up again and more banned but it will just be temporary, it's one of those days where the forum is being targetted. I have asked Admin to turn off new registrations as there is a never ending tide signing up.
