That seems a bit of a harsh reaction to a fairly reasonable sociological question ... is there something I am missing?

BTW, if you want to take something up with the moderators it is usually better to use PM ...

Cheers,

Are they automated, or just trying their luck? Seems a bit of an odd forum to try and hijack given the content and the relatively small audience?

If you have /phpbb in your URLs they will find you, think of those octopus things from the Matrix.

It's a clever troll then - even posted on another thread asking if anyone uses the search function.

Yep, turning on the security features available in php usually gets rid of most of them but the only way to 100% prevent it is to have admin manually approve all registrations.

Set to post things that usually seem a bit random or designed to irritate normal users so that you click their www tab out of curiousity to see who the cock is. And you dont really want to visit some of the linked sites unless you have up to date anti mal/spyware installed

Post by **simon** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 9:32 pm

He has been banned and his profile updated to remove the dodgy links.
