Title: Bad Apples Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on December 01, 2008, 05:18:58 AM Perhaps the time has come when people like JantDrawayday who try & spoil things for the decent people should be vetted or maybe if their IP address is known can they be blocked?
This is the second time tonight that someone has done this & on the first ocassion the thread was disguised as an innocent post! It really does annoy me especially as I clicked on the link earlier using the works computer that could result in me having a disiplinary so I hope your happy.

Title: Re: Bad Apples Post by: proconsul on December 01, 2008, 10:05:55 AM Hi Botty,
I'm sorry to hear that one of the posts on the site has caused you problems. We knew that the spammers would eventually discover us and our registration process, which has been unrestricted during our startup period, would have to be tightened up. It looks as though the time to do this has arrived so from now on all new members will have to be approved by an administrator. This is not a foolproof process and the occasional spammer may still get through, so if anyone sees a post that breaks the rules please report it to an administrator or moderator. JantDrawayday has been banned and the offending post removed. Geoff Title: Re: Bad Apples Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on December 01, 2008, 10:21:04 AM Shame as it makes extra work for you Geoff, well done though, it has to be done to try and keep the idiots out hey,

I just don't really understand the mentality of some people! I was just annoyed as I clicked on what I thought was an innocent post. Still, it won't spoil the Forum & life goes on.
