As only you and the mods can see what you have put in the submit news area it sounds like your PC is submitting SPAM!

I haven't put anything in and wasn't logged in either! It was like this last night at around 1am but I thought it was just a glitch. I'll log back out, take a screen shot and then post it back here. |

I can't see it - was any of the porn worth looking at?

Ok, full screen dumps of the Submit News area attached. I'm not logged in, neither am I a mod and get the same results regardless of the browser. Does nobody else see this?
My understanding of the Submit News forum is that you can only see your own posts that are pending approval.

LOL, I'm a respectable upstanding member of the community with no interest in the kind of smutty, sleazy filth peddled by spam meisters. And besides, most of the links were dead  |

Yeah, I can see them all.
Should this forum be de-activated or the posts deleted as some of them are quite hardcore?! -------------------- |

Yes, I kinda expected that all the posts would have at least been deleted as soon as a Mod noticed Was surprised to find it all still there this morning with more content having been added overnight. |

I've just removed 200 of these from the last 24hrs Thought Paul may have closed the forum while the cause was investigated, but will keep checking for new ones. |
