Yeah watch out for messages froma guy called ChongPes because they are sending links to viruses to all the members, asking if it is you in a video.

Hes blocked already, and the mods have worked pretty well in blocking anyone else doing the same thing...

blocked?! BLOCKED?!

If i was a mod i would have urinated on their face for subjecting the forum members to that.

Chongpes was dissed a little and banned.

Jobe is right, no mod or admin can be everywhere all the time, or read all posts in all topics, so we count on you, the community, to report to help keep our boards clean.

Regular members may be aware that we are once again, having issues with spam posts (on the boards and also in your visitor messages). Please rest assured that the mod team are doing everything we can to delete and ban them as quickly as possible.

Thank you :)

Just a little update. It appears that the latest round of spam messages is being sent by private message. Unfortunately, the mod team are unable to physically delete them so we would be grateful if you could report them so that the spammers can be banned (in case any have slipped through the loop).

Thanks for the swift action, TF and all :) I noticed a few visitor messages had been removed from my profile...before I even knew they were there!

No problem all - that is what we are here for :)

We still seem to be having daily 'raids', so keep your eyes peeled folks and don't be afraid to report any suspicious activity.

There is an image CAPTCHA on the registration page now so hopefully that'll stop the majority of the bots (unless they are super smart in which case we'll have to add something else).

All the same, please keep up the good work and report any spam you see.

In other news (not that it'll affect you if you've registered) the registration rules/T&Cs now match the rules in the FAQ, woot.

Still getting more spam posts trickling in, can't believe they are getting past the freaking captcha!

I will try come up with something to stop them...
