At least 50 attempts a day are made by people trying to join the forum, who are obvious spammers. One got through the other day

I have to manually check the IP address and delete these accounts. To cut down on the time taken to do this I have put in place blanket bans for some countries and some ISPs. This may mean that if you attempt to log on when abroad, you will get a 'you are banned' message. Please don't panic! If you can't live without the forum and let me know before you go away then I may be able to temporarily lift the ban

Thanks
