Spammers

We do get used by spammers from time to time as we allow links on ABCtales.

If you happen to spot one on who comments on a piece please let me know by emailing me at tcook@abctales.com

They are a complete pain and we do try and sort them out swiftly but your help would be useful.

Cheers,
Tony

What if your signature has a link in it, is that classed as spamming? Follow the movement, follow the music, http://dirtyrats.webs.com

Until we feel our thoughts our thinking remains unfelt

No - that's fine. We welcome links to cultural or personal sites - it's ones that link to clear commercial sites that we object to.

I did receive two such comments from someone called Alan Dubois but they have been removed since. I suppose he has been spotted before I could report him.

Yes, this is what I do on UKA - alternatively (or as well as), couldn't you implement a CAPTCHA for new members? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA ) - which would probably solve the prob. http://www.ukauthors.com http://www.ukapress.com http://andrealowne.ukauthors.com/
