After last weeks porn links message, this sub forum still has the weird message threads on it! Have hackers been in again?

There've been dozens of nuisance postings and hundreds of suspicious registrations in the past month. I'm taking steps to make it more difficult for them. I'll explain once I've made the necessary changes.

I hope I am not putting a jinx on this but it seems that the nuisance postings have stopped.

Well done Admin.

You jinxed it! ;)

The extreme porn one from "vorthear" shows he/she/it registered today!

Could you not ask for a BBC staff number/location/retirement date on registration? Or for a seconder?
