[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

Just to let you know that we are dealing and exterminating; thanks for all the reports. Hope you'll understand if we don't have time to come on to all the various different threads about this right now.

We really need him to come save us. Has anyone heard any whooshy timey wimey whoohooo noises around HQ today?

Is anybody else kind of enjoying the 'can I be the first to report?' game?

Dr Who saves MNHQ from the evil spammers!! There's a two parter right there.

Isn't that Red Dwarf, Sparkling?

It does say it's TARDIS, but it looks like the computer from Red Dwarf on the console!

OMG Cross over!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh is it? i am getting my SciFi mixed up.

How about this ?

Baby Names is drowning in it.

That's definitely the TARDIS, sparkling.

The whole site is, pixie.

Everyone will be calling their baby 'Spam'. then.

This is probably more like MNHQ

Everything is bloody drowning in it at the moment. Driving me mad and I'm in a mardy as it is!

Poor MNHQ, I do feel sorry for all the work they're giving you.

MNHQ I know you are working like beasts trying to sort out the spamming.

Just one idea in the past you have suspended all new registrations for a few days when we have been invaded.

Would that help?

Oy Sparkling
Nowt wrong with the name Spam!

MNHQ

Couldn't you just turn off new registrations for a while?

Turning off new reg has been suggested and I'm sure they have thought of it as well.

Apparently the best way to stop spambots is to require a question at registration - advice "to use a question that is unique to your forum, avoid using common knowledge like "what is 1 + 1". Eg a boating forum asked questions about boat terminology, like, which side is port?

Wonder what questions MNHQ could come up with....

That previous picture is the inside of the sex shed.

I do not know what kind of sex you have LR...

Rusty If you go to the market, what kind of ham should you buy?

OMG, baby names! Sinking under a pile of shit spam.

Naice?

Bugger, given the answer away...

What is the point of the spam? Is it because mumsnet scores highly on google searches, and therefore if you are searching for live streaming of a game the mumsnet post will appear high in the results?
