Why do HQ respond to each of these threads by saying 'Message deleted' etc, but the threads STILL appear on the 'Last day' list in all their irritation?

It is very easy to change an IP address. Just saying. Thanks for removing rubbish HQ.

Surely an original post with links could be automatically detected and removed?

Its not about removing the posts, more about banning the OP and blocking the IP address if possible. That takes longer than just deleting.

I feel sorry for you having to deal with this. I hope you manage to successfully ban these horrible people, who have no scruples.

Thank you for the information. Hopefully you can find a way to minimise them.

Hi all,

We're sorry for the enormous amount of overnight spam - we're working our way through removing it all now.

We'll be discussing how we can prevent this in future, so please bear with us.

Thanks for all of your reports and patience here.
