Default Spam

This and many other sites are getting hit with a lot of spam / obscene stuff at the moment - I've banned several hundred IP addresses and about 6/7 users so far today. To register with the website you need to image verify and confirm via email - so in that area there's not toooo much more I can do to make it safe and secure on here, but I will add a mandatory RC-related question which will enable me to better assess new users before they are able to post madness.

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.

They seem to like the "micro stuff" section too, there is another there right now.

I reckon it is Lee Farrer bored at work!!! LOL (I am sure he was on one of the pictures in one of the "nasty" posts earlier too!!)

Nice work Jimmy.

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