Agreed that these spammers are getting annoying. We’ve just revived this forum from the dead and the spammers are loading up the Active Topics board with these messages. I’m backing up AlfAlfa_26’s idea of making one of the frequent members here a moderator. Also, the post count would probably help too, CTF (if I may call you that). However, I could see the spammers posting spam in other threads completely unrelated to the topic.
…I hope I’m not giving them ideas, but I doubt they read any of the other threads.

Re: Can we get this forum going again!
Another mod to clear out these thread/posts quickly is a great idea. I`d vote for either of you 2 !
I usually check the forum daily, but don`t post every time, so there`s still threads left for me to find, and post in, but I`ll happily
check more often, and report these posts, if there`s someone with the time to clear them out.
I`m sure there was another poster who was here recently, who might have been a mod, and had their name in green, but
can`t remember who it was, hopefully they can come back and help weed out the spam from genuine posts.
It seems like these spam threads are all getting over 1K views, so it`s likely confusing the bots on here !
CTF is good with me ! I did wonder after joining, that a shorter name would have made more sense !

Re: Can we get this forum going again!
I too check the forum daily, but I don't post every day. Still, although I'm not sure about the process that mods have to go through when deleting threads, it probably wouldn't be too hard to pop on here and delete a few spam messages.
There's nothing wrong with a longer username, but it's a bit more difficult when you're trying to type short messages. It's a bit easier to abbreviate longer usernames like yours than to type the whole thing out .

Re: Can we get this forum going again!
I said in a previous post here that I check the forum at least once in every two weeks. In fact, I check the forum nearly everyday too, without posting everytime, but I can't promise that I'll always have that much time I had in the last few weeks, as there are some other important things for me to do in the near future.
Still, I would delete spam when I come across it, if we would have the necessary rights to do so. I'm not an expert in these kinds of things, but always willing to learn.

Re: Can we get this forum going again!
I just posted an idea about the spam problem, in the forum news section at the top, should have put it here instead !
When I see we`ve had a load of new spam posts, I tend to stay away, and leave them showing in that little box at the top, so if
Admin comes in, they will see them all there, and I thought by posting it would bump them down, and they`d be forgotten.
Surprised we`ve not had a load of old posters return, given all the new posts, and hopefully one of the original mods can come
back and help keep things nice and tidy on here, and help keep the forum going.
I`m surprised there aren`t AI mods on forums all over the place, they`d do an amazing job....I think ?!
