You deserve a medal for 'services to the electronic F1 community'

Right on!

Looks like the new filter has been a truly huge success. I have not seen a new registration for quite a while now. As a natural result this thread slowly turns to a regular chat thread

Yes it is nice to be able to come on and chat without having to report some %$#^$ moron.

That guy called Israfil posted just a sole link. Is that permissible?

Certainly not and that post has been removed.

In situations like this, the user is reminded by PM of our rules that only active members can post links. If that user repeats the process then he/she is removed.
However we hope that this user becomes active

So far 39 spam attempts blocked. 3 got through the first step but couldn't get past the second.

We did remove 1 post that we classify as low level spam

That is amazing. Well done !!!! Nothing like the feeling of zapping a spammer.

Hmm... With the permission of all users I'd like to offer lifetime free drinks for Tim & Ed in the Idiots bar. I have had two copies made of the Cabinet door key. Here you go Tim, Ed... Enjoy! That is the least we could do for two of the best admins a forum user could hope for.

If the keys dont work, there is a hole in the wall in back of the cabinet

Well thank you gkaytaz but it really is our job to make this place as friendly (and free of spammers) as possible.

Something along those lines..........

Seems like spammers found a way to bypass the filter. The latest guy has a no-no nick: something like "buycialis"...

Looked it up: buygenericcialisnow. Ice him!
