New Spam post filter
« on: May 14, 2007, 06:44:54 AM »

We're getting a high volume of spam on this board (unsolicited postings that are advertising or off topic) contrary to the posting agreement which users sign when they join. Such posts have a typical "profile" and will henceforth be automatically deleted by our "bot" which goes round much more frequently than the train calls in Melksham ;-)

To newcomers - we WELCOME on-topic posts but it's - just - possible that you'll find that your first post gets caught by our traps; if that's the case, please LET ME KNOW and I'll be able to advise - via graham@wellho.net

To old hands - if you see a post that's only a few minutes old that shouldn't be around ... no need to tell us - it should go.  And if you see a board with a blank "latest post" it means that the latesst post has been autodeleted

An update - I have added a fresh filter to the site which is designed to control some of the pornographic posts that was have been getting.  Hopefully they won't trap any genuine posts - I've added a restriction on images in people's first few posts which I don't imagine will cause a problem, but if it does let me know.
