in academy award style - i just want to say a big public thank you to Rick, seeing as i have never been busier in my life and was feeling a bit guilty not trying to solve these problems earlier...

but i guess that's why the phpbb guys invented moderator privileges

Two timer
Just seen one posted by a guest. Surely a tick needs put in a box(or removed) so that only members can post. Or aint that part of the core of this forum's programme. I'm sure that on a few of the other forums that you cant post a new thread until you have had 10 entries on existing threads, so the spam threads are minimised as well.
Not saying I don't appreciate all of our moderators hard work by the way.
Rather them than me dealing with all the spamming shits about, but we seem to have quite a problem on here the last couple of months dont we.
The last thing we want is people like Plipton/Rigga/Skavitch et al, getting so pissed of with the moderating duties that they lose interest in the site as a byproduct. It is supposed to be fun after all.
Just deleted the few posts that the guest spammer had posted..... i cant see how that can be done, but obviously another glitch in the site that can and is exploited by those with little better to do it was getting better at one point,but it seems to have deteriorated very recently..... hopefully Angelo et al will come up with a solution,the mods can only delete the spam once posted,and cannot even delete the offending posters once they show themselves to be time wasting idiots,but once they have spammed they dont seem to return for more,though as plipton pointed out they would prob just re register under another name


Edited to say ive even tried to log off and post as a guest and without registering a username and password i cannot do it...... so im stumped as to how matey boy did it

I expect you mods have already considered this, but how about taking it in turns to eliminate the spammer posts.
Like working a shift system, so that at least you get some time-off!!
It must be soul destroyng having to trawl through every live thread every day.

I appreciate the time you're putting in - thanks guys
