Has anyone noticed recently that some screen names of people who recently signed up are obviously porn handles? Is there a way to prevent these potenial spammers from signing up?

Andy,

I'm not sure how this could be prevented but KillerB and I do put in some time every day to sweep away the imposters.

Although we've discussed this on the other thread, are we no nearer to finding a better filter, or way of dealing with them?

Looks like we need another Admin-type member. Whilst Alex and Derek are busy, we've clocked up around 50 Advert Members who need the Electric Chair. :D

I will charge up Big Sarky tonight and get rid of the trash

Bestowing Admin status is beyond my remit and can only be authorised by The Creator or her lovely assistant

Derek,

Everyone that signed up since the 9th of September, and has a WWW. link on their profile needs to be deleted...they are all porn sites.

Yes, yes, yes - I know :x

It's just that it takes ages to use the crappy phpBB Admin function to find and get rid of them. Doing any more than 4 at a time becomes so tedious that it makes me want to fall asleep.

The others will die tonight :twisted:

Sorry Derek. I was in Florida last week on business and the network provider didn't let me into this site. No idea why as it let me into WineSpectator. I'm back and will will clear the trash.

They were fine but they had real problems understanding Global Absence. Every time I mentioned Entitlements and Takes all I got was this high pitched whine.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Mickey Mouse?

No. But if you look like your Avatar, I would have thought that's a Given? :D

Like I'm supposed to chase you, and end up friends with the mouse!
