Anybody out there to delete the non-forum-related ads?

It seems as the moderators and admins of this forum are not taking care of this forum...

Hi guys,

I've just subscribed to all the forums, so I will now get an email notification sent to my mobile every time anyone posts. Thankfully the notification message contains the title of the thread, so I can see immediately if it is a spam message and delete it if necessary. I think this system will work well to keep the board clean of spam, as it doesn't really require much work on my part. The only issue is that I turn off the sync on my phone overnight to stop the bloody thing waking me up, so there may occasionally be a delay of a few hours between the board being spammed and me getting round to delete it.

If you guys spot anything else I should know about, then please feel free to pm.

Hi, Stu

You could always promote a couple of members to group admins so we can help out...

Ideally someone from a different timezone...

I'd need to speak to ezman about that as it's his board.

I think I'm on top of the spammers for now. If they post then I will know about it pretty quickly - I almost caught one yesterday in the act :)
