Joking aside folks. B) Dont you think it would be a good idea if Admin/Mods got together and took anti-spam off as a Xmas present to the members of this forum.

Xmas is only 8 months away. At the rate that they are going this should fit right in with their schedule.

Trust me.

When anti-spam is removed you'll be sorry.

There will be an obvious outcome in light of certain people that are now gone.

i guess busyman has a point, but the we mods have to go on "handwork" then again... I guess it's better when decent members, don't have to suffer from some that try to abuse the forum.

So what you are saying is, that it is OK to lose good members who are getting caught with anti-spam rather than have people spamming the board.

I suggest you get your facts right. I think it was Shoutman who posted 25 posts in 18 minutes while anti-spam was in force. I dont know if he got caught or not.
I posted on average about 15 posts a day and I was getting caught sometimes as much as eight times in one post. where is the fairness in that.


Anywasy I thought flood control dealt with a lot of this type of thing. No other Forum that i know of has anti-spam. They seem to be coping.

Fan-tastic, good to know that you have other places to go that you enjoy.

No need to hang about in places you don&#39;t approve of then. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, best wishes to you and yours.

Slainte.

Sarcasm is so unbecoming from you JP.

I don&#39;t think so, if it was removed and someone used a spam script it is easy to notice and just as easy to stop.

Some people might try to cause trouble but they&#39;d be a minor nuisance at best, I&#39;d trade anti-spam for the threat of any "attacks" by disgruntled ex-members.
