Well done Gillian - I think they know when I go out for my weekly fish and chips - thank goodness (if such a thing still exists..) that we now have more hands on the hammer.  I think my maximum, unless I've cancelled memories of worse, was 90 plus into the early hours of a weekend morning before I lost count and the will to go on living at the same time.  I know you, Alan and Paul are enjoying yourselves at the moment, but you mark moi words - you'll get fed up with this shower of (expletive deleted) sooner or later: that sense of power tends to wane and pall after the first thousand.

I’ve zapped a dozen or so today also, the novelty has worn off, but it has to be done!

Haha no Robert no enjoyment but as you say it has to be done and I felt it only fair to help you guys ! There is an element off satisfaction at times.

You are doing a sterling job folks, much appreciated by those of us who get dismayed and annoyed when the forum menu is full of black magic.  It beggars belief that these idiots think we really are likely to phone them in South Africa, or wherever, to get a spell.  If they were real magicians they would have a spell to make the phone calls free!

I'm sure we're all exhibiting a collective blush - you are also to imagine my handsome little face, flushed and suffused with gratitude, that others have joined me in this noble enterprise.  I think they realized, as I did a few years ago when I volunteered to squish these menaces, that we won't have a forum at all if we let them win: I'm glad I was able to support Dawn in her efforts, and even gladder that others have made the sometimes onerous effort (it isn't always onerous: these attacks tend to come in droves, die down for a bit, then resume with fresh intensity) to join me: it has made, and I'd like them to know this, a BIG difference to my life!  The ones you see are only a fraction of those we've removed, because we tend to get to them before you've reported them.   These people are such an insult to the company which has made the forum and gallery available to us - take a minute to reflect that there really is nothing like this anywhere else, not on Facebook, not on any other magazine's website so far as I know anyway: we've all made friends here, we've shared knowledge and experience here, and we've not gone down the WetCanvas route of lousy information, glutinous praise for the indifferent, and bad advice (with all respect to them: they have to manage a huge site, and I should really hate to have to moderate it).   A moment, then, please!  A toast to the company, to Dawn Farley - our Wise Woman, and, I'm told, champion cake-maker - and to the magazine's editors: ask yourself if we'd miss this site if it weren't here, and I think I know what the answer from most of us would be.  Of course we would, and that's why we fight to keep it.

Thank you Robert I agree with you wholeheartedly, it’s because I enjoy this forum so much I that I decided to speak to Dawn about helping out . It’s not just the paintings but the whole thing, friendliness, information, banter and when need support and encouragement that’s what POL offer  via the forum and it members . If I may take it a bit further and say it because of the site members thst it’s worthwhile working to clears the spam , a bit gushing it may sound but I genuinely mean every word.  It’s certainly worth helping Dawn and the team to keep the site running as best we can . The novelty of hammering them may wane and become tedious but it will continue all the same.
