Word verification????

Sheep shot, BenLaw, sheep shot...

Shoulder of lamb with rocket salad?

Mutton dressed as Rambo?

With the increasing levels of sheepism here, maybe I should use this as my new avatar pic

Make your mind up which joke you want to do...

Is this word verification here to stay? If so, then I'm afraid it's bye bye from me. I find catchpas the MOST annoying thing on the whole of the web.

Why anti-spam measures when you have to be authenicated to post? Doesn't make sense...

It's being trialled at the moment, so please bear with us.

As mentioned at the start of the thread, it shouldn't plague anyone for more than a handful of posts.

If people are getting continuing issues, please let us know.

It seems to be every time I quote a post, if that helps.

As long as it's temporary then I can live with it!

Spammers are still getting through, I have reported two on the headphone part of the forum.

 

[Clare Newsome]

THanks for that: we're on it.

No spam system is totally fool-proof, but so far in this trial we've noticed a massive reduction in spam compared to previously. We'll continue to track its success - and behaviour - for a while yet....

Clare, does it learn by account or IP? just wondering as i has quite a few IPs in very differing locations. If you don't want this info out could you mail me.

Cheers.

I take the ones that do get through are sad people who do this for a living?

I guess so. I even deleted two spammers recently who'd both taken the trouble to upload an avatar :O

It's more complex than that, as I understand... but you'll be fine.

Well I have to say the policing of this forum is spot-on. The Off Topic section is the ideal place to spout drivel and if the others filled up with nonsense it would not be fun or useful at all.

I used to use an old NewsNet (or was it 'usenet' ? ) motorbike forum. Only about 1 in ten posts was actually about bikes so it got very tiresome very quickly.

Cheers guys. Thumbs up.
