had so many pms about the last spam bot that i'd be all day answering each one individually

So figured this would be better.
Keep it up folks - and if you want to send alerts to aussie as well, feel free - don't want him feeling lonely do we Wink

I was out and about yesterday, chris and aussie had fun instead lol
And if you get a chance to see a scottish fiddler by the name of aly bain and his mate phil cunningham in concert - don't miss it. Absolutely brilliant

Do All things with Honour and Generosity: Regret Nothing, Envy None, Apologise Seldom and Bow your head to No One - works for me

I felt like a Country Fire Authority volunteer stamping out bushfires. No sooner had I got them all when I saw the mongrel was back online with new spotfires. I must have deleted 100 or more.

There might be a human involved at some point - but tracking them down would be a bit tricky We're looking into ways to if not stop this then at least limit the number of posts.

I'm not quite sure, but I report things that look the same and look like ads. Is that spam?

Posts: 1419 Australia Gender:	Re: thanks for spam notification :-) Reply #11 - Apr 30^th, 2009 at 2:34am yeah its possible that it will do that. hopefully a pc has been set up to do it, not a human. This would mean it probably wont be smart enough to create new accounts. hopefully.
