    UPDATE: Thankfully it seems that Kaiser managed to clear most of it up for us last night and I've now done a quick sweep on the board as best I can and dealt with all reports sent.

    If you find anymore floating about, please press the report button and a member of staff will deal with it just as soon as they possibly can.

    I apologise for any inconveniences that this may have caused you.

    Agreed, couldn't help but laugh at the story how some person would be sad enough to write it to spam forums...

    I'll never understand why people have to stoop so low to search and post such things but all we can do is report it, deal with it, and ban the user(s) and hope they don't come back because it's hard to stop human spammers :(

    tbh, I think it was a human not a bot, due to the fact that I saw a thread named "AdminBB got spammed" :S

    not to mention the PM(s) sent to members, as far as I know, the spam bot program cannot do that, as it can only make new posts/topics...

    not much I can do when asleep, but as soon as I got on, I checked, replied & closed all open reports ;)

    Anyway, seeing as this is resolved for now, I'm going to lock the topic, if anything else pops up, please ensure it's reported and one of us with deal with it as soon as we can :)

    Tracing the IP address could be useful?
