No doubt they will when they log on in the morning Piper.
I'm not the best when it comes to figuring out time differences
so don't have a clear idea of how many hours you are behind those of us in the UK. At a guess six or seven but I'm probably way out.

I can say at 10:30pm UK time there were no offending posts and the spam registrations had been deleted.
Hopefully all offending posts have gone, if you find more, please let me know and I will do my best along with John to remove them immediatly.
Unfortunatly this is an on going battle against the spammers!

What do they get out of this filth? I mean if someone is interested they are going to search for that stuff anyway! Its very unlikely that someone is going to get spammed and then immediately subscribe to it...isn't it?

Hehehe exactly!
I saw the post you are referring to but then i was up very late last night talking to my friend in Texas! It was there about 2am UK time.
Posts like these don't stay long! Sweet X x X

The funniest part is that they are trying to sell movies to a bunch of low-visiion people.....about like selling concert tickets to the deaf. Those folks have "marketing direction issues"
If there is a fourm for double amputees they are probably there selling ladders and rugby equipment.

Alison,
Piper may be a few timezones away, but you can tell when he posted... just look at the "post time". If you're in the UK, then you'll see all posts in UK time. If you're in the US, or Australia... you'll see all times in your own local time.
Didn't see the post either, but I suspect it disappeared when Gareth or myself deleted the spam user.

Due to the nature of the posts concerned, I deleted them first then the pile of spam registrations.
Overslept then there was an accident on the way to work, so posts did not get deleted as early as I normally would have done.
Only some of our non-UK visitors and insomniacs would have seen them so hopefully no damage done.

Oh, right, thanks John, I didn't know that.
So if you are in the US, or anywhere else, you have to figure out for yourself when it's night time in the UK so you'll know no one here is likely to be around?
