    Seems odd not to be constantly wading through spam.

    Brilliant, even those supposedly in the know cant get it right.

    In all your genius, your link puts me straight back onto this page - you deserve a pay rise surely.

    There was a bug earlier messing up links making them point back to the post/thread they were on instead of where they should have done.

    Some links posted at the time have not got corrected. That one probably got missed.

    Have to say - other than the influx of bugs during the wiggle wire scenario, have not seen any spam posts as yet.

    A very small number have snuck though, compared to what there was.

    Fingers crossed this means the death of those symbols.

    What baffled me about them was what was the point. I always assumed spam to be promoting some junk. They just didnt seem to say or promote anything other than them needing to get a life. ;)

    Some made sense in Korean or whatever language or character set they were in.

    There was method in the madness, even if it didn't seem so from looking at it.
