SPAMMERS
Fri, 8 July 2011, 10:38 amThis website is currently being hammered by Spammers attempting to post dodgy links to you any way they can. While there are constantly making attempts, presently it is quite extensive. This will possibly cause slow access times and connection issues.
The Spam filters have been extremely busy of late with many new flags being added in past two weeks. So far, very few SPAM items have actually gotten through into the forums.
If you post an item and it gets automatically flagged as SPAM then please rest assured that one of the admin team will review it when they can. If your post gets Deleted as suspected SPAM (you should get a notice if this happens) then you can either try modifying your post, or request assistance through the Feedback service.
If you see something that you suspect is SPAM, please report it. Also note that the Report SPAM option should only be used for SPAM, not as an attempt to remove a post. Reporting SPAM posts will flag (but not remove) the item with admin who will then review it. If it is SPAM, action will be taken. If it is not SPAM, the item will remain in the forums.
That is all.
Nah, testing the waters

I've noticed that we will get a handful of the Browser Posts followed by a flood of all the other stuff. We have even had some overseas Lamp distributor try to set up shop here.
