... to Sin Salla Bin.

Yes, I am bored.

Speaking of the Sin Bin, is there any reason why the 'Learn Magic Easy' threads haven't been moved? I'm tempted to go back and start prodding them with a stick again to see what other rubbish falls out but I don't want to be seen as encouraging spam.

I'm amazed that thread is in its second page of replies. It seems people can't resist prodding spammers, which is a shame. The guy who started the thread must be enjoying the fact that you lot are keeping his spam at the top of the page where it is getting maximum exposure.

Every so often the guy puts in a post himself just to bump the thread up to the top again. I'm trying to be a good boy now and leave it alone but I keep on noticing it popping back up to the top like some demented marketing ambitious card routine.

One forum I'm in has labelled their equivalent section "The Sh*tbox", but that might be going a step too far.

The best I came across was a board that put them all in "D4mned to hell".

Yup, until now I hadn't seen it!

Best course of action if you see anything which is iffy or causes concern, PM a Mod straight away and we'll sort it out. As there are a lot of PMs and posts to check and deal with (and some days that's putting it mildly!), there isn't always time to check and read every one. In fact, when I come back from holiday, the only things I read on my return are the PMs, messages and issues in the Mod's Discussion Area and then a random selection of the backlog of posts. The moral, boys and girls, is: 'If in doubt, point it out'! And if that goes in the IB you'll all be kept behind after school....
