Thanks.
Thought I would use this post as an alert knowing that "mods" would be alerted (possibly quicker)

ty guys.

As the mods already know - we seem to have 2 different types of spammers, the automated bot type.. and then theres those that are more 'humanoid' type spam.
Touch wood we seem to have have arrested the bot type attack that started last month.  The logs show that for the past couple of months theres been 146 pages (x15) of unsuccessful attempts. There will also be some which wont record to the log, so for the odd 1 or 2 to get through from the 'humanoids' aint too bad, I suppose..  particularly when the mods are pretty quick with their dusters :)

naw - credit goes to Eric and Dave for most of that - since they do most of the cleaning up.

Thats why they get one of these to wear.

Sorry dave - I was going to buy blue ones to match the pinny, but they were out of stock, so pink it had to be.
