Right- first of all welcome to everyone new and old.
This "general" forum is NOT FOR POSTING IN.
We left it open in case anyone had some kind of problems with the site.
We have "general discussion" and "general plant discussion", this section is an emergency section for members who somehow get locked out. Due to it NOT requiring registration to post here (and due to the fact that the sometimes friendly mod team is comprised of humans) the odd spam gets posted by bots. Tho it WILL be destroyed on sight, we sometimes have a stretch of several hours where nobody with the power to delete these posts is online.
Understand that as mods we do NOT get paid, we are members of the community who just happen to have the ability to do a precious few things that most members don't.
I personally can't even change the name of this section to "spam" (trust me I'd do it in a heartbeat) so please do NOT use this "General" forum if you can't handle the sight of spam. We try, we really do.
From here on out, all posts in this section will be moved. I have locked all the topics I can find so far and will go about moving them to their proper places and unlocking them when I find the time and energy. Any further complainants angry about spam can refer back to this post and read it again, everything you need to know is here
And sorry to seem harsh, I am just hopeing this is the last time I had to explain this (the last-last time was obviously penultimate)
Thanks for reading, now get down to the "real" forums and post away
In the words of a funny friend of mine "GENERAL FORUM CLOSED"
