Hi folks

Over the past few months there have been a number of attempts by spammers to infiltrate our Community.

I've been tightening up security, identifying spammer email addresses and blocking them and generaly trying to thwart them.

It's not easy :(

I hope that I've not inadvertantly deleted the accounts of genuine Community Members, but it's possible that I have done.

I've been looking in particular at weird Usernames - often random sequences of characters. Such users I target!

I know that it's common for people joining forums to use Usernames which don't identify themselves as individuals (personally, I sign up to forums as "IanTraynor" or similar).

I'm happy with that. But it would help me if you selected a Username which was in some way descriptive.. not just a random collection of alpha-numeric characters.

Thanks
