    Just put them on your ignore list. Takes like 3 seconds. Problem solved.

    In my head I always hear the word 'spam' like Terry Jones is saying it. :blush:

    Has it occurred to you that Rob might be one of the illuminati?

    I mean, to be fair the counterfeit notes worked out well, and I'm looking forward to having a powerful ring quite soon. It's not all bad :grinning:

    I have little understanding of this stuff, other than it seems entirely pointless, a bit like nuisance telephone calls.
    Surely the originator knows that the messages will be completely ignored?
    What the hell is it all about?

    :( If the amount of spam starts putting people off the forum that's a real issue for everyone. Where the hell is Rob? I'm only on one other forum (for the MV). There's no spam that I can see and the curation of the forum is much more hands-on.

    I don't think the site attracts more spam than any others, it's just not getting filtered out properly. It's a cat-and-mouse game but are methods to do that. We don't know what's in place now but it clearly needs looking at. Only Rob has that capability as it's down the the Xenforo software config and add-ons. Upgrading it to a version that's actually supported would be a good start.

    If you sent it just to Rob then you could be waiting indefinitely. I've sent one or two PMs in the past and never got a reply. Make sure you tag @Havit or send him a PM. He is around but whether he can help...

    Page 1620 of the “This made me laugh” thread has just one post on it. It is not the last page.

    And the next one only has 3. What on earth is going on with this forum engine.
