Is there a mod on this board that can remove all the rubbish, its unreadable.
Although I do chuckle at the time someone has clearly spend spamming a forum with USA phone numbers, not realising that it is a UK forum!

There have been two waves of spam today and all have been deleted. Just keep on hitting the spam button and it will be deleted.I am a mortgage broker.

Just hit the Spam button - it needs no moderator involvement at all. The reason the spam vanishes is because people press the button.
It takes more than one person, but you don't have to do it for long to work out how many people it takes to make it go away.0 -

Thanks all - seems to work.0

I thought the "spam" button got removed because people were using it maliciously? (I don't see it on my interface)
Unless you mean the report button? I was under the impression that worked differently and still needed human intervention?
Regardless of how it works, I'm glad to see the spam gone and will continue to report when it appears.3.6 kW PV in the Midlands - 9x Sharp 400W black panels - 6x facing SE and 3x facing SW, Solaredge Optimisers and Inverter. 400W Derril Water (one day). Octopus Flux0 -
