It looks like, in some of the instances, legitimate domains/web sites have been compromised and the whoevers have been creating subdomains within them to launch their dodgy sites from

I don't know what sort of solution there is other than blocking posts by content or restricting new accounts by IP/location (unless they're accessing from local compromised machines)

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what Nasher thinks/has planned as he seems a really switched on bloke

Guys,

It annoying everyone.

Nasher advised that they are caused by random spambots that dump rubbish on the site.

The techies are working on upgrading the spam filters to prevent them popping up.

The Admin and mods are deleting them as soon as we see them.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for the PMs from posters who discover when they arise.

The tax invoices are already on their way out to Torofluro and Rasselfarek as we speak. :rolleyes:

W_J, that is fantastic!

Nicely done!

With all due respect to the administrators of this site, that fee is nothing more than an idle threat unless you are actually prepared get the lawyers involved when these knobs inevitably fail to cough up the cheese. It may be enough to deter genuine posters, but not idiots who otherwise have no interest in the site.

Also, I'm sure you're aware that legal contracts cannot be formed retroactively, so you cannot bill those two prats if it was not ammended before they posted their advertisements.

...yes, I am studying accounting/law :rolleyes:

Surely a stiffer signup process is the solution.

Your joke detector is clearly broken.

And I believe Whispering_Jack is actually a lawyer, but don't hold that against him. ;)

Obviously...

Although you'll forgive me for my sillyness considering that paragraph IS included in the code.

Nonetheless, my suggestion is still valid. Perhaps a mod-approval system for new posters? There can't be more than 4-5 signups per day max.

I'm going to upgrade the forum software over the next two days, which apparently has an improved registration process that blocks this stuff (I'd do it sooner, except I'm too damn busy with work). It's well overdue anyway. If that doesn't work, I'll look at instigating a 'wait' period, or perhaps a system whereby your first forum post has to be moderator approved, and once that's approved then you can post what you like.

We've also got two new mods coming on board too.

So sorry folks, this problem will be sorted. And believe me, it's annoying us as staff just as much as it is for the readers.

I love it. I doubt you will ever see the money, but I hope you do! Perhaps you should put up the price - especially for porn!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
