I sent a pm to 2 mods pointing it out. I've also asked for a way of reporting this properly.

On other forums this works effectively but on one of the busiest forums here we have nothing

All the hardwork is done by a computer program Jemma.

They just fill in the details once in the program and off it goes to find hundreds of sites like this all at the same time.

If someone signs up to one of these 'sites' then it is tracked and there is usually money in it for them (the spammer)

Can I just say, to all those that think the mods don't do their job. I know I sometimes wonder!!! PMSL.

Click on Memberlist at the top of the page, then sort the list according to 'Joined Date' and 'Descending'.

I was SHOCKED by just how many new members have been banned over the Christmas period. There are LOADS. So, those lazy bastards must be doing something!!
