There has been a lot of spam lately. Although the ProBoards filter is quite good and we are proactive in blocking IP addresses etc, it does come through as we've seen in the last couple of days. I've changed some things around and it should be under control (until the next time), which means that guest posting is no longer possible. Unfortunately, this means that whoever 'It used to be Vote 2006' is can't post anymore so if anyone knows who that is I would be grateful if you could mention to them so they can register.

Hi all, I’m sure most of us have seen that the General Election board and threads are up now. Gentle request for members can we use these for the more partisan discussions rather than the Almanac ones? Thanks all!

eastmidlandsright has been given a week’s ban. This is due to regular personally abusive comments towards other members after private warnings then a public warning just recently For the avoidance of doubt at the start this is nothing to do with unpopular and/or unfashionable views on topics such as Ukraine

The last few days there have been a lot of reports and complaints against a forum member due to a series of random posts with old MP names, that at least come across as spam whether intended that way or not Generally we wouldn’t want to give a public running commentary on private warnings etc but with the clear widespread anger and how this clearly impacts the forum experience for members we wanted to make sure it’s known this is being addressed An initial warning was given privately that didn’t get acknowledged but seemed to stop it. However the last day or so there have been more posts of a similar nature, albeit not quite at the same level at once, which is disappointing to say the least I’ve now sent a blunt final warning that one more post of this nature (that includes any sort of clear spam type post it doesn’t need to be the MP names) will result in a ban, length to be determined. I appreciate many members would probably take much harsher action sooner, we generally like to give people a fair chance before bringing bans into it. In the case of a new forum member also I think you hope that they will settle into the forum and our etiquettes As always bring anything new to our attention and if you have any further comments or questions on this then feel free to come to me and/or mattbewilson and bjornhattan
