Spam Users etc.

[BigMac]

I've just gone through and cleared out several hundred spam accounts. Next step will be a look through the posts to catch any of the scumbags that have managed to post. If you do see a spam post then please PM myself or Hawk and let us know where it is.

Thanks.

Stationmaster.

I've also modified the phpBB software to NOT show the e-mail or website details of users who haven't had their account confirmed.

Large numbers of these 'bots attempt to register in order to have their website link shown on the "memberlist" thus boosting the number of links on other pages to their website which in turn improves their page ranking in Google etc.
