    Any chance someone can delete the ridiculous spam that has started again in the Cheltenham 2013 forum ?

    Many thanks in advance

    It is being worked-on.

    Over, the last few weeks the Forum has been repeatedly attacked by some very sophisticated spam merchants from the "East".

    very sophisticated spam merchants from the "East".

    Is there no stopping those fiendish chaps from Great Yarmouth?

    I don’t want to start a new thread so I’ll hijack this one instead.

    Was anybody else banned a moment ago or was it just me?

    Did I do a naughty?

    Answers please :)

    No, you were not banned.

    If that screen "pops-up" in the future you just have to "log-in" again and you can post; not a very good solution though.

    Trying, many things out at the moment to solve the problem of the "Spam Men".

    Apologies, for the inconvenience.

    Regards

    I would love to start my answer: "You were right to be paranoid!… It is just you… They have all got it in for you….", just for the fun of it. But I cannot. You are not alone. It isn’t just you.

    Dammit. For a moment there, I was getting carried away with myself thinking I was too cool for school. I mean I was for a moment but only on a technicality which isn’t cool at all :(

    Thanks for the explanation Matron.

    Good, but the posts are still there. Surely only takes a couple of minutes to delete them

    I see they’ve set up camp in the lounge now. Still, nice to see someone post in what used to be a very good section of this forum :cry:

    Absolute bind.
    I thought in this day and age, Spam was only found at the Truckers Caffs.

    Surely the hosting platform should be up to speed with preventions?

    Not a critiscism of the admins by the way, but if Spam can’t be prevented maybe a different host should be considered, cos it’s p***ing users off.

    It is not easy to resolve at the moment without disabling parts of TRF.

    I have spent that last two hours getting rid of this rubbish.

    We will get this sorted out as soon as we can.

    Once, again sorry.

    Guys you have a serious problem with this website, if you are not logged in or have a racingforum cookie on your system the only thing on view is the "Outlaw Tom" section :shock:

    In other words, new viewers visiting the forum will see nothing :shock:

    I just rechecked, by clearing out my cookies and the same problem reappeared :shock:
