Looks we have more spam messages lately, so I had to limit as to what guest (anonymous) posters can do: they are no longer allowed to post links in messages. I hope this will reduce the amount of spam in the forum.

Maybe a moderator is missing. A moderator not featuring kindergarden-threads, but keeping the forum clean Very Happy

Frassl, forgive me if I'm being blunt, but aren't you a moderator?

When you see them next time please send me a copy of one or two of them - I'll need to tune the code to detect whatever URLs spammers are using.

might be nice to have a deleted folder, so it just moves deleted threads to a folder for vieing by you and/or the mods.

I dont know how you work here but on other forums that I moderate, we have a moderator only forum called 'shit bin'

Crap gets moved to there and can be viewed by other moderators/admin if needed and gets pruned regularly.

Ok, I created the forum 'Trash' that should be visible to moderatos only. Please feel free to move all spam/junk posts there.
