for the time being I've put all new users to moderate - meaning they can't post until I've manually assessed their status as genuine people.

Neil Driffil (rcracer) is now a global moderator to help me fight the spammers - thanks very much Neil.

And sorry to anyone that's been offended by what's been posted - we're doing everything we can to make oOple a nice friendly place for the whole family.
Nice work Jimmy.

It's a bit sad that they have to put that stuff on a family site,
