Afternoon.

We are currently mopping up after close on 100 (and that's just the last count) spammers posted all over our boards last night and this morning.

Thank you for all your reports. We hope you'll understand that we're not going to reply to them. Please take it as read that we're really grateful.

IMPORTANT: we think we have tabs on pretty much all of the spammers now, so (even if we haven't deleted them all yet) so there is no need to report any more. In fact, any more reports and our system might keel over!

Once we can see the wood for the trees, we'll post again and ask you to report any remaining spam posts we might have missed.

Please bear with us. We are getting there.

Any Qs, do post em here and we'll do our best to answer you.

Thank you! The spam has now been cast into the fiery chasm from whence it came.

Just seen them in Other Subjects

BIWI · 14/03/2013 18:47

I've never known what 'other subjects' was for. Maybe we could corral the spammers into that part of MN?

dothraki · 14/03/2013 18:55

BIWI - I just popped over - seems like a good place to leave the spammers Grin

droitwichmummy · 15/03/2013 16:58

LexyMa · 17/03/2013 18:36

They're in baby names advertising a "live event" streaming which has already finished. Ignorant twazzocks.
