so I needs must put it on ignore and not click on recently updated but participated in? Never put anyone on ignore before but this getting a bit overwhelming. If it's being done manually then whoever is doing it will almost certainly get bored with doing it before too long. Even though it is a cut and paste job, the person behind it is spending probably up to an hour a day making these posts and eventually they will realise that they are simply wasting time which could be better spent elsewhere.

Its sad that someone has to go to these lengths to disrupt a forum. Thing is they'd be welcome if they could join in without this virulent unpleasantness. Its horrible.

It's a bot, hence why it can only access one section of the board. Could well be from someone on here who has unknowingly been hacked. Or maybe something that has been picked up in a cookie. from memory it's identical to a bot that spammed CWDF about 5 years ago .... I'm sure the message was identical ..... or at least bloody close. I think I missed the Great Coronavirus Pandemic of about 5 years ago.

I see its gone offline now🤞 It would be a larf if we found out who they were and told the dole office what they've been up to and then they cut their benefits for pissing around instead of looking for a job.

I remember something similar on cwdf too but obviously not with the coronavirus references.
And I think this was mainly automated with a human in charge of the machine, as always, but I don't know how you would do that.
I suppose it could have happened on other proboards forums as well so it could be a hacker just experimenting.
Slightly intrigued by the obvious language problem in that it is not correct English.
Perhaps a Google translate thing?

Delta9 hasn't logged on to the forum for over two weeks, and without someone to weed the garden it is becoming unusable. It might be time to consider starting a new forum? Blimey you jump ship easy. Yes, not quite time for panic..... I'm sure I've seen Delta's e-mail address somewhere, and I can think of another way to contact him, but I'm sure he pops in time to time to have a check. Perhaps even automatic notifications to let him know his forum is being 'buzzed'?

I can't remember who it was but someone was doing a check over of his web site and giving advice .... so someone must have the details The URL was tempestclean.co.uk/ but the link is dead. Phone number on the van - I remembered it was Stratford as suggestions for names were proffered. Vac and Shake(speare) was probably one!

Just need D9 to cast an eye in here from time to time... This Forum was such a brilliant idea and has proved a lovely alternative to over there despite the rocky seas from time to time.

Headline: "Fury at contradictory Spanish travel advice that says ALL visitors have to quarantine - despite Foreign Office advice that does NOT include Ibiza, Mallorca, the rest of the Balearics and the Canaries"
Reader's comment: Vicky Saunders, Bracknell, United Kingdom, 13 minutes ago
"I've been saving up my dole money for weeks to afford this summer holiday, and the kids have really been looking forward to spending time at home away from the adults. What am I supposed to do? Just cancel my holiday? Let's face it... I along with many others will simply ignore this quarantine request. Unless the council are willing to offer me another house to quarantine in away from the kids, there's no way it's happening."
So.... unemployment money's purpose it to allow you to save for a holiday abroad... abandoning her children at home "away from the adults" (and what will they be getting up to?!)... and planning to ignore quarantine. So, quite happy to spread Covid-19 and have everyone in the whole country in another 'lockdown'. Thanks, Vicky!

Possibly Delta9 could select say two members with some admin powers for emergencies ...... Hmmmmmmm !!! just thinking D9 has an odd sense of humour .......Lor' think of Martin or Chris Pink as admin or

Another thought from me is for someone here to have a list of contact details of members (eg. e-mail address) so that if there was a change of platform they could be notified. I did have addresses and phone numbers for delivery of those calendars 2.5 years ago but, as promised, I deleted them (up the chimney!). An e-mail doesn't have to be your main one, easy to make a free spare one from Yahoo or Hotmail or Gmail if you don't want to compromise your 'real' e-mail address.
