    A note to the admin of this site
    I am once again seeing my posts get removed when I log off (see the £600k thread)

    I will save the swearing and screaming for my cycle home as I am now just dissapointed and resigned to this forum sucking heavily

    once again just to recap:

    • No this is not just my browser it happens on firefox and IE
    • No this is not just my work connection it happens at home on 2 PCs and also on my mobile

    @spitfire

    Don't suppose you'll be reading this...

    Sorry (again)

    It's bizarre that you are (almost) the only person ever affected.

    Most other 'caught' (not) spams tend to have links in.

    Yours tend not to.

    Cant explain............

    I sometimes notice that it says latest post by a certain person 2 minutes ago (or whatever) but when you go in the post isn't there. But sometimes that post then appears after someone else posts on the same thread.

    Blame snow, trams, city council, private hire cars, firstbus and drivers. It's the usual suspects here when villiany is afoot! :)

    I sometimes get "slow down, you're moving too fast" messages. Which I already knew ;)

    Yes this site always thinks I move too fast, perhaps it needs to catch up...

    I wonder if that is your problem Spytters? 
    If you are posting too rapidly it marks you up as a spammer?

    @Min - you just selected my new username!
    And yes I may be too fast. I may have too much to say but the server should be able to keep up

    I blame the trams myself. Actually, I blame TIE. All the tram did was sit quiet and lonely on Princes St.

    Spytters, could you set yourself up with a forum-only Yahoo or Hotmail account? Easy to get, and the forum software should be happy with the supplied e-mail address.

    @Arrellcat - what for? simply for a spare email account? I have already done that with mailinator but it's the site's spamming filter (posting too often at times) that seems to hate me
    FOI: how many "real spams" does this filter catch? Can it be turned off?
