Agreed but why not get some software to do most of the work?I don't know if a lot of members are aware of this but I have witnessed DCUKMod and Rachox here at 3am/4am doing the housework so that the Chinese Spam is cleared before we in Western Europe open our eyes in the morning. A big Ta Very Much to all mods who go above and beyond when it comes to keeping the forum running smoothly.

Did you report it?I saw a lot of foreign spam at about lunchtime today, from what I recall the spammers do seem to like Monday's

Thanks, if they were gone Mods spotted and removed. If no one reports them it is reliant on us being online at the time and seeing them.
But bots don't usually contain real brains so I suspect will continue flooding our forum regardliess. And each time they do so they're continuing to causie extra disruption and inconvenience as our mods still have to work on removing the posts.Very sensible but I Suspect that would be far too logical for software programmes to deal with!
If software followed logic then the chinese bots would have given up attacking the site after the first couple of multiple deletions of their posts.
Considering that this forum costs members nothing are we really in a position to demand change? Yes, the spam is irritating and there may even be an element of security involved but in return for nothing we get a shedload of support and knowledge. I am prepared to be ever so slightly irritated in exchange.
I guess I go along with Guzzler: spam doesn't really bother me as such: I just feel sorry for the mods.
