Last night we had our first incident of some numpty joining the forum simply to post idiotic and offensive material.

Luckily I spotted the posts and both 'he' and 'his' posts were "ejected".

The same person has tried to rejoin twice under different email addresses but thankfully the technology can detect IP addresses of individual PCs so I can tell if the stuff is coming from the same person. That IP address has now been blocked completely. However if he tries from another location we may suffer more.

Could I ask you all to immdiatley report any such posts from new members so that I can swiftly deal with it.

email me at

astratwintop (at) gmail.com

Lets keep the Club an "idiot free zone" as it always has been...

Many thanks,



John

I saw the first of the idiots posts which seemed ok, however the other 2 that I saw were a little disturbing, but thought it was just me.

Thanks RL for being the doorman.

Dear Red Leader

Thanks for explaining why the site was down for a while last night; like the others I kept getting told that the site was in overload whenever I wanted to post my usual helpful posts (well - I'm allowed my opinion, aren't I).

I think courvault, stu and others had similar problems.

It was irritating at the time, but 24 hours later I (for one) now appreciate what you were trying to do to protect us - many thanks for keeping all of us regulars in safe hands - I'm sure I speak for all when I say "we appreciate it"!

Thanks

P2


OOPS - oh no! There he is again with his offensive photos......

I think the site overload issue was something to do with our hosts out in the US as I managed to do what I needed to do without shutting down the site.

I had an email from the hosting service a couple of days ago saying they were upgrading the servers etc and they warned of some possible disruption.

Ha ha an Astra Twin Top in Fancy Dress. Don't like the outfit, it's the kind of thing no brainer's wear. Well done for keeping the idiots out, this has always been a good clean site with friendly people and a good car. Can't speak to loudly cus i've sold mine for an SRI as could'nt afford the Diesel TT. BUT I WILL BE BACK, waiting to see what next years TT looks like. According to what I've read it will only be a 2 seater but there again so is this one unless you've got little people. Used to use my rear seats as storage, hidden under Wind Break.
