Hi, I've been badly spammed by another "myfastforum" -- registered users of that forum (and I'm pretty sure the Admin as well) came onto my forum and started spamming the hell out of it!

I have moved the majority of the posts they made to a "private" area in case you need proof of anything they posted.  I only know who they are because I was tipped off by another League that this particular League had been going round spamming numerous forums (all football-related - I think just Sunday football Leagues!! )

Anyway, after looking at their forum, I have identified some of the offenders. Is there anything that can be done? - Maybe a warning or something?

My forum is http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org.

As I said, I have moved the posts but can make that area public if you need to see them? (Unless you can bypass and look without me changing forum permission?)

Sorry to be pain, but I wanted to make it known 'cos it took me a little over half an hour cleaning up their mess! -- Would've been a lot worse but I logged on whilst they were spamming, and caught them red-handed so to speak!

Thanks anyway for anything that comes of it.

What forum is it? If there are a lot of complaints it is easier to deal with.

By the way, I have (as previously stated) kept about 90% of the posts made on my forum. But it's in a private area that only the Admin and Moderators can see... would you be able to view it considering you are not an Admin or Mod on my forum? - I assume you can enter parts of the forum if required?

Please let me know if you want a link to the private area I'm speaking of... you can see all of the posts in there.  If you can have a look without the link, then feel free to use this post as my agreement to you doing so.

I would like to know what comes of this, even if they are just warned.... I simply want it noted in the records, so to speak.

Many thanks again.

This is the link to the private area (not a particular post, as you can guess by the URL!)... if you cannot get in to it, let me know and I'll briefly change the permissions on it.

Alernatively, see below for the links to the particular posts:

http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about405.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about400.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about399.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about397.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about401.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about410.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about398.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about396.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about394.html

http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about385.html
http://charnwoodsundayleague.myfastforum.org/about384.html

That's the majority of the topics/posts.  There are a few more if you want to look at them too?

Again, let me know if you can't look at them

Many thanks.

I assume this is way in the past now, there is little point in reacting this late.
