    Spammers

    All,

    Due to the constant attacks on this Forum I have installed an add-in called Spam-O-Matic

    you will be able to see the stats at the bottom of the main forum page, hopefully this will help and if anyone does get caught by accident please mail me and I will sort it for you.

    Ian

    More spam I see. The BMW electric car cross posted in at least three differnet areas of this site: here, main stratos forum, and the technical electrical section. Cross posting really does my head in.

    Make that four sections. In the stratos events too.

    I saw the posts this morning, there was one in more or less each section of the forum - I dont see anything now, so the Spam -O - Matic must have worked....

    Hi Ian

    The main forum page says

    63 Spammers Denied Registration
    69 Spammers Permanently Banned
    49 Spammers submitted to StopForumSpam
    8 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated

    So guessing some of the 8 are these ones. A good result. Not sure I like the name Spammy posts, or am I just getting old....?

    Thanks again Ian, the forum remains remarkably free from such junk, which is to be complimented in these days as not an easy thing to achieve.

    Peter

    Spam-o-matic sounds like software written by Wallace and Grommit!
