him=bot?

What's the hit rate on this type of stuff anyway? 1 in 100k? Abu Dhabi GP coming up, better get your after race activities sorted ahead of time (mind you, with as boring as some races are may as well be in race activities).

Who actually calls those numbers? Cripes... I am a mod but I can't keep up deleting them... Rob or another uber-mod can bulk delete these... maybe he or another will give us some insight on how the company filters this stuff out from above....

Update... I think I figured out how to bulk delete... cripes...

Question: After I delete these, do you see the thread or is gone from your view? I still see them but as deleted.

I've yet to see any of these. I view from my phone via Garage Talk. There are a lot of different ways to get on Rennlist and the results can be quite different.

I'm not seeing any of what you guys are talking about. Might be the difference from Member vs non-member and make paying the nominal membership fee worth it

Oh thank God I wasn't the only one seeing them! I literally freaked out and logged out and changed my password.
Thought the forum got hacked.

Same here... not seeing anything on my end. I'm a paid member but I also have a pretty good firewall, several adblocks, total cookie deletion when I exit my browser and connect to the internet via NordVPN... and on those days where the paranoia spikes, I run my browser in a Sandbox.

FYI for all..... I am a volunteer mod (as is a few posters your know here) but I don't have super powers, Rob and others who work for IB have the golden buttons. We were hit the past two days (?) by spammer(s)... I could barely keep up deleting them. When I delete, I still see the deleted thread. The other day, I deleted about twenty of these and then I came back on the next day and they were gone, I suspect Rob fully removed them. Today, the threads I deleted yesterday are still there and below is what I see today.... I was not sure others saw this.

Of course I am not promoting this spammer... heck if you want to call these numbers... well read Darwin.... I amazed that there are people who call these numbers... I really don't get it.

"Dubai Call Girls..." Bruce, I've often suspected that maybe you had a dark side but hey, different strokes for different folks?
