hi admin, every morning there are 'spam users' commenting on diaries or topics from years ago. Is there no security or criteria for becoming a member?

Hello MGR and CW,

Thank you both for your feedback and vigilance. It helps when members flag spam posts for the attention of the forum admin.

There are technical measures in place, but apparently they aren't always preventative. We will have a new website soon and hopefully there will be further improvement.

The team here have been made aware of your concerns and feedback.

Thanks again,

Forum admin.

Continuing. I see a post from 2017 comments about it. 2 years on in the digital world and there is no progress. There was a point where we couldn't log on but still the spam can!
