Banned Members In Abundance!! Reason here.

**HiTeck** · 14-06-2011, 11:08 PM

Just letting all the regs and any new user know you will see the recent joining members are getting banned before posting on the forum.

The reason for this is we have a "Firewall" so-to-speak here that throws them out before they get chance to register fully.

Our "Firewall" checks against known spammers on a database that is currently down! and automatically refuses admission to our forum.

Because the database is down for the first time in 3 years they are getting in but the mods and me are throwing them back out before they get a chance to post here.

So far only one got in and posted there shite, it was only live for 2 seconds but they got in.

If you see any posts that are pointless in the wrong section, may look harmless that we may have missed, feel free to report it.

Thanks all,

Me and the Moderating team. :cheesy grin:

By the look of the left

hand side of the forum.You have all been working very hard.

Well done

Very true Ally, I got rid of one, the Mods threw the rest out with a good oul

.

This is why I stress they go unnoticed in the background!.

As soon as the database is back up we will be back to normal, until then all expect the forum to be pink,

And NO Anto!!!, it can not stay that colour!!!!!

I agree H i cant stand pink either so lets hope it gets sorted soon

! you guys work hard enough without having this extra thing to deal with

Registrations are now closed until we get our spam blocker back online.

Too many known spammers are signing up and tbh we are sick of it.

Stop Forum Spam will be back soon and once it is registrations will be back online.
