I saw it when I crawled out of bed this morning - no ip address that I can see

the way the poster has written the telephone number makes me think it is not a UK based person

I still like the plan you posted in the admin section - but please can I play with the petrol bombs?

(And yes, folk have probably guessed that the bunch of deviants that sort of police this pale have not been amused about a spammer so have been plotting ....)

Isn't it just time to make signing up for a ridersite userid a tad more difficult, such as requiring information that can be verified?

So you don't like our new kitchen information service then, Graham?

Don't worry .... things are in hand

Actually signing up here is quite hard

Go back a year or so ago and we had over 200 registrants a day - on bad days!

They were spam bots and we - the admins worked out a system that has stopped that... Now to register it effectively be a person

I will not disclose how we did it but it works in the main ;)

That's probably why we are annoyed - this one company is using some one, probably in Indonesia, to do this here and elsewhere

As Andy says, plans are afoot

Hmm Did you approve him Alad? I'll try and play with the IP's when I get a chance.

Well one of the admins did!!

Can admins ignore emails from RS and not click anything in them.. don't approve people unless you're 100% sure of them being legit..

ciamix06? really?!! I wouldn't even bother researching that one!!

Might be worth checking if forum software is compromised, or there is a way for non-privileged accounts to approve accounts. These characters will be very quick to exploit holes in forum software...

Particularly if it's a pair of them working together with matching blue jumpers and bright blue eyes ............ they do look like a frightening pair ...........

and, yes, I had wondered the same Graham

I would imagine there is some protection in law to stop asking this information.

Do you use one of those random generators ie "bxtry help" before they can join?
