    Greetings,

    You may have noticed that recently, we have been having a fair number of spam posts on the forums and accounts being banned. I would like to thank everyone who helps to moderate the forums for keeping everything tidy. Steps have been taken by Jordan to try an minimise the amount which comes through, while I won't go into detail as to what is in place, I can say that we have been aware of the issue and continue to try to keep on top of everything.

    If you do see a spam thread, please report it and it will be dealt with, I know many have been reporting them, so thank you!
