Allotments 4 All

There's 'junk mail' everywhere!

Some stupid spambots have got in again, there are no moderators on at the moment, nor Dan..I've reported some but there are too many and my hands are aching  ;D

*sigh* it's time to hit the ignore button again...

it's time to log off.  I like coming on this site and just can't ignore the ignoramus's that spam.  Realy wish I could throttle one of those idiots.

Back later, just feel sorry for the moderators that have to clear the mess up

Although it is easy to' ignore' these pointless posters, they will still come up under unread new posts. Is there any facility (or is it worth developing one !) for members to be able to only read posts from unignored members? ???

Or we go over to a process of "all new accounts must be approved by a mod".

Very tedious for the mods and against the spirit of the forum but this spam would put of new posters too.

This is exactly what has been happening on Allotments UK recently.The spammers come in and take over the whole page....not good  >:(

Ive clicked the ignore button but can still see em,is that right?

What good to they think they will achieve with posts that just annoy people

All email Dan ,he is the only one that can sort it...Den

perhaps if we had a whip-round and promised to buy something, then he'd go away  ??? No need to answer that, i think

Have PM'd Dan

The site needs more moderators if only to delete the spam when its gets through!

I reported about 6 posts, then gave up when I realised how many there actually were ::) >:(

I think you only need to report one post as spam. Once Dan comes on he can see well enough that there are loads. Anyway I think so! Dan?

Oh my lord, LOL!!

They are just appearing as fast as I am deleting them, sorry!  

Same as yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to keep on top of them as I do have to go out soon - firstly to the jewellers as I've lost a diamond in my engagement ring :'( Wouldn't mind but I only had it repaired at the beginning of December!!

This really needs Dan to ban and delete again as I think, like yesterday, the spambots are just set to post randomly.

Yesterday SL asked for people to mail Dan as she thought many emails were more likely to attract his attention.

SamLouise there's no need to be sorry as it's not your fault. This is down to Dan to sort out and not leave you to do this thankless task.

Yes one of the joys of being a mod,I think not. :)

Especially as Dan gives them no support whatsoever!

I've never had a response from Dan to any PM that I've sent him, and I know that others have had the same problem. It makes me wonder just how much he cares about this forum and the members apart from the money he makes from it.
