Judging by the volume, speed and lack of ability for MSE to stop it I'd guess someone has set up a very clever automated program.

Perhaps it's a pity that they didn't expend the same amount of attention to detail to their kitchens. :rotfl:0 -
I actually quite envy this spammer. I wish I had that kind of dedication and commitment! Just think what they could achieve if they used those skills for good instead of spam. They could probably be president by now.0

I've been hitting the spam button as I see them appear, it's a lot of work doing that so I don't envy the team having to clean everything up!0

Good to know! I've been clicking on spam quite a bit, but I wondered if there would be some limit after which the system would ignore any more spam reports from each user.PPI on Natwest loan, Barclayloan, MBNA credit card, and Mortgagecare all repaid just for asking in 2012/2013!
Barclaycard - PPI refund refused 26/01/13, ombudsman upheld 12 May 2014, Barclays resisted until March 2015 - FOS say Barclays are calculating an offer, they have 8 weeks.0
