A lot of my time is taken up deleting them, so the more help the better.
Thanks all.
They tend to appear within a few minutes of each other.The time stamp on the latest entry on each forum gives an indication of where they may or may not appear. Just spammed another one in this sub forum!
Is it possible just to block their profiles as gsssss seems to be posting a few threads.1 -
