Whats going on here then? I assume an automated bot of some description. No way of stopping it?

Has the anti spam filter been slackened off? I remember being stopped from posting a few times by it...

I know some forms can't be posted in by new members, perhaps time for a limit on the numbers of new threads for new members?

The admin team must be on strike as all the spam posts are still there. Unless the admin team have a new side line

The posts have gone, but the profile and the topic titles are still there.

It looks like the mods. have two ways of deleting them - one nukes the topic completely one just gets rid of the text in the thread. Depending on who's on duty, sometimes the thread goes, sometimes just the text.

We have a flooding filter which is the same old rules - but the distances in time between the posts has not hit it.

The limit per new threads idea is a good one though.

It made a refreshing change from fake id's and discount kitchens.
