Clamp Down

Before you lot start trying to rebuild the forums, you need to stop all these bots and spammers. If anyone visits the forum, all they see are a bunch of adverts.

Recent examples -

http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/introdu...tml#post632994 (hii :))

http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/urban-m...tml#post632995 (List and RATE and RECOMMEND some NEW songs your feeling)

http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/open-mi...-a-211070.html (A classic hip hop night - open mic comp winner receives £200)

I'd love for the forums to start popping again but this is getting out of hand...

Sorry maybe spam is the wrong word but regardless, do you want this to be a forum with a community or a forum for advertisements?

The fact that the first three I linked are from the same person, all promoting this T-Time person is that not spam?

Alongside that, bringing back dead forums from like 3 years ago should be an instant ban or at least a warning imo.

No-one wants to visit a forum that looks like it just bred with a spamming rabbit. I can help clean up if your short of staff cos the forum was decent at one point, made me spend quite a bit of time here. Would like to see it brang back to its former glory...
