I had a very long flight with a very long stopover without internet access. Hence the lack of response (and action).

They are all being cleaned.

The anti-spam bot system isn't as effective when it comes to the registrations but has so far managed to prevent them from posting and this is far more important. Having said that, I am always on the look out for improvements.

Thanks jacfan for your message too.

No apologies needed. It is good to see that they can't post anything. No harm done.
And BTW...

I saw that name but didn't think it meant anything.

I am please to inform everyone that we have put in a measure that will stop all the automatic spammers (bots) from registering on our Forum. We won't see those weird names in the memberlist. I can say this with confidence

We still have to put in a measure that prevents those human spammers from registering and posting a link then never returning back but we are working on that and we are evaluating a number of options.

Actually let me ask you, if we place a restriction on posting links in posts from new members, how many 'normal' posts do you think would be enough before letting them post messages with a web link ?

Thanks

About 10 should be enough I think.

5-10 posts should be enough, depending on how regularly they post on the forums

You guys are waaaay too trusting

You think so? Wouldn't it be enough if a guy invests the time and manages to post about 10 F1 relevant posts?

Tim, the guy "SlappingOysters" is in need of some slapping.

Done

10 consecutive relevant F1 posts, perhaps
