At 2amish this morning I was on the site and noticed several strange names on the site yet on all of them it said location banned :confused: all new joiners all didn't have any info.. Could someone in admin enlighten me.. Perhaps it's just me if so sorry if not I have a screen shot of the names but not able to post a I don't have photo pocket but if you want to pm me your mobile I can send it that way..
Just odd that's all
Its spam matey. A definite nuisance! :mad:
Yeah more than likely spammers, luckily they usually only get as far as the general board at worst.. but then we have to manually delete them.. pain in the 'arrris
But how do they get on? Why would they even want to?

That was the names
They post random crap in another language with a link usually gets removed from the boards pretty fast.
Can they not be removed? Just got me thinking what are they doing? How safe are all out details?Quote:

At RTOC they only become registered users and only spam the boards open to registered users, unless they pay a membership fee, which they don't.
It's happening again now 6.46 am
noticed it a few times now, this guys on the longest and on sometime during the day. Duacwin2oyt
As I say bud what and why would they be on here and how safe is our detail?
Phew, when I read the title I thought it was an Rtoc users dogging invite :laugh:
On renault5gtturbo.com it's full of spammers. Ruined the site
It's one main advantage of having a payment for use. It stops them there at registered user.
Why should you presume your details are not safe? They are registered users, that's it! Anyone with a working email address from anywhere in the world, that's not in a region I blocked, can register and spam.Quote:

Can we get in touch with these guys in China and say there's a fresh new Renault site that's free to sign up to? :laugh:

Glad to see you're still on the site Andy :)
I'm 100% sure Trev said that tongue in cheek, which I'm sure you know ;)
Only ever after the good of the community fella.Quote:

Andy, I agree, what's happened has certainly been for the best.
