Spammer spent

For now at any rate...

Sorry folks. This persistent peasant posted just short of 400 private messages over several days using several IP addresses and logins, it took me a while to track and shut them all down. All messages from the spammer have been removed.

When these pathetic criminals manually create logins and use the site's services to spam, it's difficult to do much automagically without getting in the way of your participation.

I have set up some tripwires that should warn me but your emails, messages, SMS to my mobile 0401 216 962 and even calls are welcome.

Cheers
Grant

PS *shock* I published my mobile number on the internet!

well, duh! It's been available in the whitepages for about the last ten years!
