Subject: STOP THE SPAM POSTS
The time has come IMHO for Mudcat to take responsibility for filtering some of the content on its boards. For a long time now there has been a problem with Guest posters disrupting genuine debate but even that was tollerable to a point. Now we are getting spam posts for poker rooms etc. in huge type. The solution is a painful shift I'm afraid but one that needs to be taken. Posts have to be moderated and only available to registered users with confirmed email addresses. I don't think I am alone in this sentiment. It is further testimony that I am having to post this message anonymously because of the ferocity of some of the flaming that comes from Guest 'trolls'. Can we get an official respoonse from the webmasters at Mudcat on their position in relation to this problem.

With sincerest intentions
