  • Where have all the spammers gone ?

    Well most of them anyway ,you may have noticed there have been a few posting

    We (Admin & Mod's) would like to say HUGE Thank You to all the Grapes who have alerted us to the spammers over the past few months...your notifications are much appreciated and help to make this site as successful as it us.

    And so.... We are awarding some rather special Easter Eggs ( virtual) to the top 5 Grapes (in no particular order .. Bren in Pots,WendyC,Hazel at the hill,iGrow & Fleurisa) who have alerted us to spammers over the past few months....








    And to everyone else who has contributed some rather yummy.....












    Many thanks, and a Happy Easter to you all

          Can you (the team) look into reporting spammers via the iphone app each time I try to report it crashes the app!

          No biggy but it does my head right in

              Yeah those kitchen spammers are the worst! I use a cake forum and they fill up the threads . Good to get rid of them quickly.

                    Sadly we can't get rid of all of them but there should be a reduction approx 7:1 on the kitchen front

                    Thank you & it's our pleasure

                        Thanks Mods and admin

                        It does make me wonder sometimes what spammers gain by doing what they do.

                              Hi novicegrower,look below .. would .. in your sig,there is a black triangle hover your cursor on it it goes red,click it & a window opens
                              Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.
                              ,type a brief message in the box & send.The message is hyperlinked & will take us directly to the post in question
