Hello Holly, There seems to be a lot of spam posts in various sections of the Forum; Richard Manion1, r.gauldern and nvu54876 to name a few.

Thanks, RJ

Yes, we seem to being targeted by some sort of spambot, where they post semi-related stuff to appear like regular users, but include harmful / spam links. Dale, are you a mod? If so, perhaps you or Holly could have a look - itsazhar is one that is popping up a lot at the moment. Is there a way to add a flag to forum posts to "Report as Spam" to moderators? Ive seen that on some forums, and it would be a quick way of identifying spambots to the mods. Thanks

I like your suggestion, Alex. Needs resorting, I think. Can itsazahr's account be deleted as he/she seems to be the main offender at present? It would be wise to avoid all posts from him/her, especially the links in those posts.

Yes Alex, I have some admin rights and I have messaged Holly, the account has been deleted several times, but apparently keeps joining with a new email address. Holly is going to look into other ways to block them.

In the meantime, I suggest we all just ignore this user.
