member list

Barry

I have looked at the membership list to see who lives in my locality. Whilst doing so i noted that there are many - adverts placed and what appear to be non members placed on the list within the last week of so. Is this correct, or have they all got through a screening process?

Hi Paul,

thanks for your concern. These Spammers hit me at a rate of about 40-50 per day. They are NOT active. I clear them out when I can summon up enough will power to do so. Each has to be removed manually and individually. I usually fortify myself before embarking on the labour :wink:
Why? is the big question.. I think it is something to do with frequency of searches for this site. Sites with traffic over a ertain volume act like magnets to the SPAMBOTS.
So we are a cyberage victim our the site's own success... ce la guerre 8)

Yep it's not easy keeping them out. The SESWC forum has been hit a lot in the last week.

Gents,
and particularly those of you involved in the "League of Gentlemen Wargamers", as mentioned in "a" "n" other thread, I see "Dale" has joined the ranks of the cyber elite - and become our "NEWEST MEMBER". :shock: :shock: :shock:

Well done Dale, and, can we now put the smoke signals and tom toms in deep storage :wink: :wink:

Looking forward to the coming weekend, where we can all communicate in the time honoured fashion - VIS A VIS :!: :!:

Bob :D :D :D

Dale was on the phone the other night giving me a few tips about working online, web, fora, you know that kind of stuff. He's really tip top on the IT front 8)
That's right Dale isn't it? :wink:

I don't think Dale is his real name. Have you ever noticed that it's an anagram of Lead !

I don't think the Dale posting here on the internet is the real Dale I think he's been absconded by Aliens and an imposter put in his place :lol:

Before we know it this imposter will soon be saying that the French Old Guard weren't really that good. That's when we'll know if he's real or not.

Cheers
Dave
