I'm spending time every day I'm on finding and deleting this junk, and i'm no happier about it than you are.... 8~(


I've e-mailled Bert to see if we can limit posting to registered users only. I know that's not popular but nothing else we can do I think as the messages are coming from a range of IP addresses.

Well, at leat my trucks aren't affected.

Gordon & Bert:

Thanks for the good work on this site. :thumbup: I'm sure it's a real pain in the butt cleaning up after those people. It may just be a few really sinister folk usin this site as a test platform.

From now on anonymous users should be able to post on the forum again. Hopefully the new anti-spam traps will be sufficient.
