Getting a few spammers of late, if you see any spammed threads please report them, there is a "report" button in the posts.

as above , seems to be a lot of spammers joining with gmail addresses, unfortunately this makes it hard to ban by domain as there are genuine members using gmail.Please report any posts you find as spam they will then be deleted once banned.cheers

are you sure you couldn't reply?
the pm was aimed at those with zero posts, most are pretty obvious and genuine members but there are a percentage which i have my doubts about and they will be deleted.Don't worry i will be checking members profiles individually before deleting.

If you tried to reply to the private message sent recently by MOI (Baz) you will not have been able to reply as it was a group message and you probably dont that that permission on your account....................even I couldn't reply................and I have admin powers.
I replied to Baz by opening a new message to him.
As for the recent spammers...............they get banned and their posts deleted as soon as they are seen but sometimes it may take and hour or two before one of the admins is online. So take care with what you click on and by all means report any post you consider unfit for ZXRworld................action will happen.
