Dear Members,
The offending content has now been removed, and the user in question has been banned from the forum.
I can assure everyone that the forum does not have any other attractions.
I would, however, like to take the oppurtunity to remind
everyone that both Admin and Moderators are only human beings.
Of course, we all try to keep the forum as safe and as family friendly as possible, and in this instance (and in other similar instances) the team acted as quickly as it could. We don't sit in front of our computers all day waiting for bad stuff to happen. In my personal case, I have been at work all afternoon, and other members of the team have families to care for.
The other point to note is that there is a tremendous amount of work goes on behind the scene to try and filter out spammers and other nasty people. But in the age where you can pop to an internet cafe, register an anonymous e-mail address and upload content from a USB stick, all in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, there will always be someone who slips through the net.
It should be noted (as Guzzi rightly says) there is the "Report Post" function, which will e-mail the entire team. It was used in this case, and we are thankful for that.
Matt.
