Title: Spammers
Post by: Newportnobby on December 26, 2024, 09:07:00 AM
Looks like the festive season is bringing out all the tosspots who have nothing better to do than spam sites.
Thanks to you all for reporting such. George and I have removed the reported posts and I've banned 3 just this morning.
Please continue to help us as we are but few and the above mention tosspots are legion

 :thankyousign:

These Russian / Saudi / wherever disinformation bots really aren't targeting the site correctly are they?

You'd think if they were interested in spreading relevant disharmony, they'd at least either be advertising fake N gauge Soviet 2TE10V diesels, claiming a range of US outline stock has been painted in Saudi liveries, or making up something deranged like "Dapol has been purchased by Elon Musk or Iran".

Funny, but as Mick says, let's not encourage any of this stuff. We've both been busy as hell getting rid of it as it comes in. I was trashing stuff all morning while most of the forum was asleep,! :beers:

This is all a mystery to me, but thank you very much indeed, Marvellous Moderators, for removing whatever shouldn't be here.

Because I'm a State-Registered Half-Wit. I misread the thread title as 'Spanners'.

With all good wishers.
