    Seems like the forum is infiltrated by a bunch of pole smokers

    Out of control mate! I can only think most mods (whoever they are nowadays?) are still away on holiday

    It's mostly bots these days that just links onto sites like ours to try and gain more organic rankings of their own sites but its pretty much a waste of time and does zero to help them.

    Yeah we've got the image word verification thing but they just seem to bypass that.

    Some could be humans too.

    With a bit of browser script, you can by-pass them altogether.
    That's how all these random AI bots flood forums and sign-up for site accounts and manage to spam everything in their path.

    How about a bit of white text that directs bots to a bogus thread that doesn't show up for regular members?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Hi all, thanks to everyone who reports these spammers but I am having trouble finding the last few that have been reported. I click on the links in the email reports but I cannot see any problems. Probably just me but can anyone assist me with finding them. Thanks Wayne I try to remove these spams as soon as I recieve notification
    If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.
