Kitchens

[anonymous-user]

Anyone recommend somewhere to buy a kitchen?

Seriously though how are these spammers managing to register and post, there must be 2 or 3 new regs every single night going back the last few months

it's just the nature of an open, popular forum. Make spam checks on registration and people will just find ways around them, its a never ending cycle until you create invite only signups or close them entirely

[All that jazz]

The topic has done the rounds before and unfortunately the owners don't care. They have the facility to turn off new registrations which if done at night would prevent it happening to some degree. Also it can't be too difficult to implement something like phpbb boards have to pre-mod the first 10 posts by newly registered members. It's not like there's a shortage of mods here is it.

If any official response is forthcoming I will guarantee it will be from James Drake with his standard copy and paste "we're looking into it" reply as per every other thread and as per usual nothing actually changing. Bascially put up and shut up.

How many mods do you think there are? In reality there are probably less than 10 that are active on a daily basis and a couple that are doing the majority of the deleting and editing.

Fewer.

PH should update their terms and conditions to say that any business is allowed to advertise in posts like this but is subject to a discretionary £100 charge per post. At the end of the month they then invoice the kitchens company for thousands of pounds. It'll then either soon stop or become a nice little earner.

I don't suppose there would be any likelihood they wouldn't pay the invoice'

[Dick Dastardly]

No but you pass it to a debt collector to either enforce it or make their lives more difficult. It's the least you can do to spamming tts like these.

[Monkeylegend]

Or alternatively just delete their posts and registration. Bit of a pain but easy to do. Not many people see their posts at 2am.

Less manhours than organising debt collectors I would have thought.

Would reporting the kitchen posts help the mods or just annoy them?

My non-mod view, is report them. They'll get an email and it makes the job easier. A win for everyone.

I have had to google this and you are correct. It is fewer if you are discussing countable things. Everyday is a learning day

Report & post on thread "Reported"
If the mods have missed the spam posts by Vince Miller it helps bring it to their attention. Though it is a bugger for first mod in to find a billion reports, one report per post is enough & having less reports to tidy up would be nice.

To be honest, it was just because I could do it twice in one thread.

It gets fun when you say "less people" or "fewer people" - subtle difference!

Thread drift, my Griff 500 was the same colour as yours with the magnolia interior, the difference being mine had a red roof.

Lovey car, wish I still had mine.

I used to report them all as the time they were posted was usually around the time I get in from work and looked at the forums but seeing as the owner(s) evidently have no interest in doing anything to stop them happening in the first place then I'm afraid I can't be arsed anymore. Perhaps you mods should ignore the reports too and leave them in place then that might get the owners' attention that they need to do something more heavy-handed in an attempt to prevent them. ?
