Thanks a lot.
And big shout to MSE Team for keeping this clean and working.
Keep it up guys.

Monitoring needs to be early morning imo because that is when spam is appearing.

Monitoring needs to be 24-7.
By automatic means, if MSE can't manage adequate staffing levels.

But what is really needed are techies who know how to stop this sort of spam, without involving 'fixes' that mess things up for normal users ...

Thank you guys, and thanks for letting us know about the spam today! We're working to clean it up and get rid of the spammers. I was hoping none of them would get round the new measures, but it's still A LOT better than it was before!

Is Martin on holiday?

Feral_Moon

No, he was live on television this morning whilst in MSE Towers. As were at least a dozen or more staff all stationed at computer screens.

Have to say whatever the team has done seems to have worked wonders. Aside from the odd one or two spam posts that have slipped through the net over the week, spam has been kept to a minimum, inevitable yet acceptable level.

Good work team

Talk about speaking too soon. :rotfl:
