I can’t find Lew’s original thread, so I’ve started this one. I’ve just received this message from Warner’s regarding the attack of unwanted spam on many of our postings. It’s a reply to my request to have it removed and the perpetrators banned… Credit given here to Warners for their concerns and the swift action taken. Hello Alan This user has been banned and the content they posted has been removed. We have also added new spam words to the database so we can catch and block them next time they are used. Regards, Dave.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Excellent.  I'm always prepared to moderate the Gallery too, but understand why that isn't something the company wants - still, the offer is there, should they need the help. I think  we've been too successful in moderating the forum - hence the evil expletive-deleteds taking to the gallery.

That’s just great Alan, and a very speedy response from Warners.  Sadly this is an unending task.
