Changes to the forum to tackle spam!

[Abs]

Hi Everyone,
As with any forum, we have to tackle the issue of spam. While we have a team of moderators that look after spam removal, there are times where spam stays around longer than we'd like.
We know that spam makes the place look untidy and doesn't provide you with a great experience in our forums. So we're going to be trialling a number of changes that should reduce the amount of spam.
These changes will not affect any existing users so continue to use the forum as you normally would.
If you've got any questions or comments, please do leave them here for us!
Thanks
Abs

OK so perhaps this will stir the loins of the eModeration team :-

Both myself and adamtemp64 have brought this to the attention of eModeration but still the Profile has not been deleted.

Well it looks like they have finally taken notice of a Profile which included a link to a Russian prostitute site but I've had to take the blame for posting the dodgy comments :-

Hello ravefromthegrave,
We’re sending you this message as we have moderated one or more
of your comments.
This is because comment(s) you have made might be considered offensive
by the user they are directed towards, or by a third party.
We want our forums to be a place where people can share experiences
about O2 products and services, exchange views and provide assistance
to each other. It’s important that the forums are enjoyable for
everyone, so please do not make hurtful or personal comments about
other users.
We hope you continue to use and enjoy our O2 forums.
O2 moderation team

But at least this time they don't mind their name being used.

Looks like the word was perfectly legit, once, @Cleoriff

You need to delete the PM from the moderators. Pm's are precisely that and not to be posted openly on the community. 

No offence intended to be 😉

As it was posted 6 years ago, it's not of any great importance anymore, I suspect!
