Dont give in to the Dicks

Hope Haynes can get on top of this when the super mod returns from hols. Its starting to get ridiculous, lets not give in to these bunch of tossers. I keep seeing Ash logged in trying to keep on top of deleting the spam but i'm sure he cant go on indefinitely - would be a big shame to loose the forum, just frightened Haynes may consider pulling the plug on it.

Keep fighting.........AndyH

Can you not put in security so that any new member has to first get authority from Ash or another other admin before they can do anything?

I'm no expert at forum protocol John but that sounds the easiest solution, would cause a lot of work though for the moderators in the mean time but should stop it. Plus once the spammers know that there is an approval process they would move on to the next victim. Maybe the forum software would need updating, TT is an knowledgeable in this field so maybe he would know.

It needs someone with admin rights to enable this and possibly also a software upgrade, unfortunately the admin dude's on holiday.

I think everyone muchly appreciates everything your doing Ash & TT, as we've said before it must be a reall ballache to have to keep cleaning the trash up.

It does make you wonder if any top brass at Haynes are aware of what's happening with the forum that bearing their name or if the trail stops on a beach somewhere with pina colada in its hand
