Looks like we have a spammer on the forum

I just can't believe how so many get wound up by a single poster. 

It says far more about those people than a wind up merchant. 

I don't care. I want to read about and comment on Speedway, that is the raison d'etre of this Forum. What I don't want to read is the pathetic ramblings of our scammer and all his other aliases on here.

Sorry, that is just how I feel. I'm sure I'm not alone.

If I want such childish remarks, I will watch children's TV.

Just scroll past, you don't have to read it. It's not difficult to ignore. Let's not forget that British Speedway is a joke & a laughing stock, so why think a forum would be any different??

If the custodians of our sport can't be serious, why should fans??

Just be excited that Sunderland, Newcastle & Middlesbrough could be all in footballs top flight in 2026/2027

I'm partial to a jokey post myself now and again and I could quite happily scroll on by and not interact with any posts from any individual user I didn't want to interact with... but, when you have a single user quite clearly using different accounts

@Whitelinehugger

@rearingtogo

@TapesRup

@Youhave2minutes

and they're replying to their own posts and literally flooding every damn topic on the forum! That is something quite different. 

There are clear forum guidelines and this fellow is in breach of them:

"Trolls

A troll is a contributor whose sole intent in posting is to be a disturbance to the community. Trolls may post excessively inflammatory or offensive messages with the intention of upsetting people, "flame" or insult, crash an appreciation thread to attack the subject being appreciated, or post the same message repeatedly on multiple boards to take up space and disrupt the forums. Posters engaging in this type of behaviour lose their rights of membership and will be removed."

Sadly there is no moderator to enforce these forum rules. 

I've "ignored" all of those accounts now, which is a shame as occasionally they did post something worthy of discussion.

Been on this forum since 2003 so you can probably imagine the list of posters I have blocked is quite extensive lol

Couldn't care less. When being a fully grown adult, moderation shouldn't be necessary. Just take responsibility for your own actions. Those who respond & keep doing so are far greater of a problem than the initial poster.

Was the same, but I've unblocked everyone. Miss out on so much funny stuff, especially the angry responses. It's funny seeing people have a breakdown over nothing.

None of the postings have been rude or hit out at anyone in particular. It’s just a forum of sad individuals who have no sense of humour and are as miserable as the sport is now

Couldn't care less about forum guidelines? That's the spirit 👍🏻
