George II Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi, I love reading about all the cat sailing activites from around the country , BUT recently the forum seems to be being hijacked by overseas spammers . I am sure the administrators are trying to keep on top of it but is there an easy answer ? Does this sort of thing happen on other forums as well ? the only other one I use seems to be clear of these idiots at the moment . hope someone out there has the answers to help keep this a great CAT sailing forum . rgds George II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 how irony! The administrator has to monitor and delete these members who post spam. We have to help the admin, by buying products from the online store now and then. Have been very happy with my Harken ratchamatic from there: http://catsailor.net/store/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madboutcats Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Another sailing forum I'm a member of asks you some simple questions about what you sail and where you are when you try to join and it rarely gets spam. You need to be able to write correctly before you even get in. The minor downside which I happily accept is the people that don't join because they don't want the loss of privacy and the delay in getting accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonJr Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hey Guys, Iv just finished updating the forum software and hopefully (fingers crossed) it has fixed most of the spam! If you can please keep reporting spam if you see it, Thanks, Robbie Nixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
