News re. Spamming

Postby Admin » Tue Jun 09, 2009 4:57 pm

Hi all,

As i'm sure you are probably aware, we have had a massive issue with spamming. It came to our attention that a number of users experienced issues while trying to view the forum from schools. It is highly likely that this was due to the the inappropriate words used by the spammers in their usernames. We have now removed all the spammers from the forum, so hopefully users can now view the forum from schools.

However it is possible that due to the complicated nature of removing so many spammers, we have accidently removed some legitimate users of the forum! If you are one of these, please accept our deepest appologies & feel free to register with us again.

The new board has much tighter spamming controls, so this should no longer be as much of an issue in the future!

Regards,

Hi all,

It would seem that once again the spammers are starting to break through the newly implimented security features. I have removed the existing spam & will be working on a fix to keep them out again.

Sorry for any inappropriate content and/or images that have been displayed on the forum. I will be keeping a close eye on the forum until the new security measures are in place.

Many thanks,

David (Web Developer)
