To state the obvious.  Now the scum are attacking the comments.

I see what you mean Lew! Is it my imagination or does this sort of idiot operate on a Friday night in the knowledge/belief that no one will be working on the weekend to remove this crap? I would be so annoyed and disappointed if these blatant drug ads had been put on my work. I’m not sure how far back they have gone, certainly most of page 1 and some on page 2.

Had some on mine, checked a few other posts.  It’s on all of them.  Don’t know how far back it goes.  Doubt if our moderators can deal with.  Annoying.  But carry on regardless, otherwise the degenerates have won.

Unfortunately us moderators don’t have access rights for the gallery! I’ve asked on numerous occasions but as we aren’t employed by Warners, it becomes a security issue… obvious I suppose as all our personal data is stored there. Looks like a lot of spam… very unlikely that it will be removed - a massive job indeed! I’ll report it to the senior management shortly, at least they should be able to ban this half-witted perpetrator.

Okay, so my email has just gone over to Warners, along with a screenshot of a typical spam. They’ll get it Monday, that’s all I can do folks!

Very sad to see , unfortunately it could put people of using the site , sadly it can happen again so easily  it’s something I have been dreading once the system was tightened up on the forum .   Alan knows the right people to contact, and hopefully the techs will  soon  deal with it and prevent it happening in future , not sure what can be done with the current situation.

Thanks Alan.  Yes Paul, you might be right...it may put people off posting.  Just before posting something today, I briefly thought I'll wait til this gets sorted, but that's letting this effluence win.  So just carry on regardless.  (I'm aware they couldn't care less.)
