    Ok, its been Banned and Deleted by Van...and I've gone through everyone's profiles today and deleted the remaining spam posts on your visitor walls. From what I've seen, it only seemed to affect people that had made over about 10 posts, but that might be just coincidence.

    Well done on reporting it quickly CB....and everyone please keep an eye out for any more and report them ASAP so we can keep on top of things if any more appear.

    I noticed a spam thread on wallpapers yesterday. I think it's gone now as well (I reported it).

    Hooray for keeping the forum clean :)

    Yep someone already canned that one. Good job in reporting them guys. Whilst Van and I do spend a lot of time here each day, we can't cover everything all the time (as we have RL jobs too) so you doing this helps us out immensely. I wish i could give you more than a thankyou and some rep, but it's the thought that counts i guess.

    And seeing that we are talking about spam....

    Glad I could help keep our world clean.

    As for the Python I could easily do without. I do recognise the humor in it but I just cant take that screechy way they do a good portion of their humor. Specially the woman. If I had to live with someone that screechy all the time Id have been in jail for murder years ago. It would be like living with a Skecksi

    Fair enough CB. Personally, I think the Terry Jones screechy woman thing is hilarious, as in the rat sketch too. "ohhhhhh, it hasn't got enough RAT IN IT!"

    But horses for courses...
