I'm really going to do my best to weed out the spam that's been posted lately! As you'll see, I've deleted all such posts from the forum for now and am currently looking through the member list to see who's joined just to post that sort of stuff (like porn, drugs, loans, etc.). I'll also look into letting the boards be moderated by other Look-In activists if necessary as, like you all probably know, I don't have too much free time to do it on a regular basis. Stay posted!

Further to my announcement on the war against spammers, I'm starting to delete members who have connections with websites I deem to be connected with porn, drugs, casinos, etc. (Wow, I feel powerful!). Apologies, though, if I delete a genuinely interested member (and email me if I have).

... and by the looks of things so far, we're going to have quite a few less members after the culling! Again, apologies if I delete someone by mistake but anyone seen to be simply advertising a site for (you know what) is being kicked off. Many "members" seem to have joined just to promote the crap they're selling so I'm being pretty ruthless with who goes! trouble is, there's so many of the buggers it'll take me a while to get through them all...

... and we're now down from 560-odd members to 129 and still dropping... Any bets on how many we'll be left with after the culling...? I'm going to put it at below 50...

Well, after our membership clear-out, we're down to a whopping great total of 22 (and even now there's still a few members I'm not sure about...)! Less remaining than I expected so we'll have to try and get fellow Look-In fans/collectors interested in the Forums somehow, ay...?
