    Does anybody actually have proper contact with Rob? Spammers seem to be having a field day, and I have got fed up reporting them so now just downvote and move on.

    I just stick them on Ignore so don't see any further posts tbh as nothing seems to get done about them. Don't think there's any moderators on anymore either.

    Same here, I did message Rob and volunteer if needed but was met with radio silence. Shame really as there used to have loads of Mods on here but they have drifted to other bikes over the years.

    Only discovered the ignore option yesterday so no more messages from our uninvited guest, initially I thought they were posting religious crap but after using Google translate the most recent posts have been for garden awnings, and paint rollers, all very odd.

    All they want is an off site reference to their URL using the keywords in the text from a well used website.
    Then trigger a google (et al) crawl and they've upped their hit rate.
    Us reading it is irrelevant. Deleting it fast so they don't get crawled means you get taken of their list of useful sites.
