It can’t do any harm so give it a try.

I do delete spam as soon as possible, I am checking frequently at the moment due to the amount of rubbish coming in.

However, users of the Forum may not be aware that I work from home. We have an active Community on our mobile home park which includes Craft events, Coffee Mornings, days out etc. If I am away from home for several hours, I cannot delete the spam as quickly as some users would wish (one email this week pointed out that the spam had been there for several hours). Ash sometimes deletes it in my absence.

All I can say is that between us we do our best to keep the site up and running but it’s a bit of a nightmare just now, please be patient with us and continue to send reminder emails.

I bet there is some more in already.

Hear, hear! I fully endorse Elle's comments; you do a superb
job despite your other activities, and it is up to us to report the
spams to you - so let's not change anything!

Thanks for all you do for the forum, Norah.
We just bump our threads up to the top to 'hurdle' the spam.
It seems to work so I don't think there's any need to change anything.

It's an endless task when these spammers get a grip and with the best will in the World you can't be on here all the time.

Some sites have member moderators to mop things up , so you do your very best in the circumstances - Thank you.

I thank you again, Norah, as I did in my first post, for all that you do . A lot of forums are presently being targeted by the same culprits. You are doing a fine job and we are all appreciative.
