This activity is being done by bots entirely automatic, signing up and posting, you will note it is always a first post. Between us we are deleting around 20 a day it seems; they are automatically banned ant reported as spammers in the process but it is a sad fact that there are many attempts and some get through. I know Matt and Trevor are looking into it to find a solution.

Always a first post and always containing a hyperlink. Could posts with hyperlinks be blocked/filtered for members with, say, less than 5 posts. This would obviously impact genuine new members for a time. But if text links were allowed instead of hyperlinks it might work??

I'm surprised we don't have (working?) CAPTCHA for sign up, but Matt and the team know what they're doing so I'm sure it'll be sorted as soon as possible.

This forum lets in any old riffraff and how any of us has the nerve to complain about vacuous spam messages beggars belief. :smile:

There's a difference between human generated vacuous **** and machine generated vacuous ****.

Although in Benny's case......

Bollox to you and the horse you rode into town on. There's nothing wrong with the odd Desparado.

Assuming you're talking about that god awful drink, you're right. Assuming you're still 15 and have just borrowed your dad's razor.....

There will be a resolve for this but I am just so busy. I'll get Trev on it as it's getting annoying now.

It's not the same user it's a new signup every time and yes I am banning them.

We could just keep him off the Desperados.

Each to their own. There's nothing wrong with a 6.9% abv lager with a decent aftertaste. To me it's a lot better than pretentious fruit juice.
