Spam Bots

Hi everyone, if you notice some odd posts in the forum at the moment, they are spam bots and Andy is working hard to clean it all up and make sure they can't keep posting.

Please be assured we have not been hacked, all your details are completely safe - they are just spam bots to be ignored.

Hi everyone, just to add to this, I've deployed a spam checking system so any posts made to the forum will be checked automatically and hopefully it will pick up the majority of them, additionally there is an invisible detector on the registration page now as well to hopefully assist with preventing bots from being able to create accounts and post spam in the first place.

Thank you for your patience the last couple of days and sorry for the random spammy messages that have shown up! We took most of them down pretty quick and blocked them but you may have seen a couple of threads show up.

There's nothing anyone needs to do or take any action, nothing was compromised, it was just someone abusing the welcoming posting and account setup in order to post spam.

Please email us at hello@threadysetgo.com if you run into any trouble with posting, while the automation fine tunes itself some posts or replies made in the forum may get incorrectly flagged as spam, but it's nothing to worry about as we can simply restore them and whitelist your accounts as any issues crop up. Please do let us know if we can help at all and sorry for the trouble, just some growing pains!
