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!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
