Spammers beware

[Muz]

We seem to be getting spammed by users who can defeat the Q&A entry question as well as the anti spam software, so they are more than likley Humans just trying to use the forum to promote their wares. I dont mind this, but, ONLY if they give some input into the forum.

For those that dont, ...or just post inane drivel ... an active policy of deletion, is in place.

Soo ...new members intent on this scenario ... dont be surprised if you get banned without warning, appeals for assuagement will also not be entertained, .. therefor... PM's and emails to the admin team on this basis will also be ignored

[Muz]

Some of you might have noticed an ever present bunch of spammers from Vietnam.. vnmanpower they always registered as .. well not anymore .. that whole region has had their ip addresses barred .. I didnt realise you could do this (well I did but not as surgically) so that should remove what was a persistant bunch of spammy gits

Well by blocking the whole of Vietnam (did the Americans not try that?) let's hope that cuts the amount of spammers! Your doing a great job Muz!!!

Well they've already been emailing complaining about no access, so in my politest Scots I told 'em that...... 'off'... is the general direction in which they should f**k
