I can see a lot of people getting PPR'd for what they have done this morning.

You may have a grievance but the way you have gone about it is an utter disgrace! :mad:

    They look like spoof accounts set up to spam the board. I'd doubt they'd care much about being PPR'd.

    Erm, it's the same person.

    And judging by the volume and speed the spam is flying I'd guess it were automated and will probably go on all day.

    Some of these 'posters' have been members for a while. I suspect there has been a mass hack of the usernames/passwords. I can't see one of these posts under my name, but they are still appearing.

    I suspect the board will have to go offline temporarily just to give them the time to remove everything
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    I've only seen them from 'members' that have joined today.

    And seeing the content of the posts, I'm going to guess it's either from someone related to Lancashire Kitchen whatever, or someone who really likes kitchens

    Didn't those kitchen guys create a whole load of spam earlier in the year? Things must be quiet in their office if this is what they are wasting their morning doing.

    On the plus side even more members are now going to avoid their company.

    Let's just hope that their kitchen fitters aren't as foul-mouthed as their "admin" staff! :eek:
