Bot Attack / Spam on Forum

Hi All,

It appears over the last couple of days we've been attacked by a bot spam network, so apologies for any of the posts you may have seen. Our moderators and Admins have been working hard to clear them when possible, so if people can report posts that may still be outstanding, that'd be appreciated.

It has also come to my attention that some of these MAY have sent out PM's to some of our users. We apologise for this and urge anyone who receives any dodgy messages to delete them immediately.

Thanks

Moderator and Admin Team

I received an email saying that I had a PM, only, when I logged in to check, no PM was there. Was it likely one of these bots and subsequently deleted by a mod/admin?

Appears they are at it again. Please report any posts you find! I have cleaned up what I have found, but no doubt more will arise throughout the day ! :/

Cheers
