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

Sparklingbrook · 03/03/2013 13:07

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

Tee2072 · 03/03/2013 13:07

Isn't that Red Dwarf, Sparkling?

Tee2072 · 03/03/2013 13:08

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

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

Sparklingbrook · 03/03/2013 13:08

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

Sparklingbrook · 03/03/2013 13:09

How about this ?

pixiestix · 03/03/2013 13:10

Baby Names is drowning in it.

Tee2072 · 03/03/2013 13:11

That's definitely the TARDIS, sparkling.

The whole site is, pixie.

Sparklingbrook · 03/03/2013 13:12

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

Sparklingbrook · 03/03/2013 13:15

This is probably more like MNHQ

Dawndonna · 03/03/2013 13:18

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

LadyBeagleEyes · 03/03/2013 13:19

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

FancyPuffin · 03/03/2013 13:20

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?

Gin Wine Thanks

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 03/03/2013 13:23

Oy Sparkling
Nowt wrong with the name Spam! Grin

BoneyBackJefferson · 03/03/2013 13:25

MNHQ

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

Tee2072 · 03/03/2013 13:39

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

RustyBear · 03/03/2013 13:44

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....

LineRunner · 03/03/2013 13:45

That previous picture is the inside of the sex shed.

Tee2072 · 03/03/2013 13:56

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?

EllenJaneisstillnotmyname · 03/03/2013 13:58

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

EllenJaneisstillnotmyname · 03/03/2013 13:59

Naice?

EllenJaneisstillnotmyname · 03/03/2013 13:59

Bugger, given the answer away...

NormaStanleyFletcher · 03/03/2013 14:12

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?
