On hiatus.
This site is currently 'enjoying' some idiot dumping data in the threads with whatever nefarious intention they may have. I have seen it and would like to alert the site to it. Problem is, I'm not that web forum savvy and have absolutely no means of figuring out how I contact the site. Call me stoopid. Any chance of making things a little easier? Similar forums using the same software have a red triangle you can click to contact the site team [see consumer action group] and it'll be picked up. Any chance of tweeking the software to adapt this system? Just curious...

Well david jenkin WAS on when I posted. Looks like the offending material will stay there until tomorrow morning now, although I see the poster has been banned.

Predictably, the contact website doesnt work. (Not, I hasten to add, that I wanted to buy anything).

Below all the username information (location; number of posts etc.) is a little red triangle ;) Use it to report a post to a moderator :)

Yep, the little hazard warning triangle should appear just below the poster's profile.

The software is usually pretty good at picking up Spambots, and automatically bans them, but sometimes they can leave a bit of a trail. Anyway it's all cleared up now, I believe!

I expect someone reported a post and got him out of bed.

Strange coincidence that PeteUSA was the first person to respond to this thread about idiots dumping date in the threads... :)

I'm sure theres some humour in there, judging by the smiley thing, but I think I'm missing the point. Care to expand?

Some might say you are an idiot who frequently dumps data in the threads...

Obviously I wouldn't be one of them
