Chinese spam

[cliffcoggin]

To the owner of this forum.

I appreciate it is difficult to keep out spammers but I notice that although the latest one is enrolling under a different name each day, all his posts have the word "university" in them. Perhaps a temporary filter on that word would block his messages until he gives up.

It’s not just me then Cliff. 

I have already brought this to the attention of Trevor who is one of the admin. folks, but the posts are still there. 

Just noticed that there is also what appears to be a similar advertising header - at least on my system. Surely these posts can’t be linked to some advertising sponsorship - can they!!? 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Sorry about this chaps.
It appears that some new software that we are updating should resolve this issue but I do admire their perseverance 🙂

Thanks Trevor,

If I go into ‘Latest posts’, there are advert headers for Intime Academy or similar - again in Chinese. 

Any info. on these? 

Kind regards,

Gareth

We have now updated the software to the latest spec so this should eradicate the spammers....fingers crossed

Well done and thank you.
