Hi Gillian,

Just to let you know that this spammer has had her account suspended.

At present our moderation involves a new member manually reconfirming their email address and filling out a Captcha. This certainly stops the robots, and non-human spammers but not the determined humans.

Spammers seems to be getting more determined these days - they must be bored :(

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Regards,
Siobhan
