The Spam post has been generated by a bot. In most cases bots will subscribe to their own posts and await a reply, this reply will confirm to the bot that this forum is active and the spam floodgates will open.
The post will NEED to be deleted or locked and hidden before a reply can be made.

If access to the forums files are available, a small change in the registration process can be used to confuse future bots. Change the default timezone to a geographical location where nobody lives (i believe -12hr) and make the php script die when an attempt is made to use this timezone
URGENT - DO NOT REPLY TO THE Spam POST
<?php
if ($indoubt) { echo "do nowt" ; }
else { echo "Execute the bar-steward" ; }
?>
Opps, there slips Atari.

Thanks for warning the members Psysim, I'm doing what I can to stop the spamming but as you will be aware spammers will always find a way around these things.
And as this site is hosted for free I have limited tools to deal with it, I can upgrade the site with better tools and mods but this would cost money, and at the moment we don't have enough members to justify it (but if and when we do I will consider it)

We removed the spam threads.
Some forum members did receive a PM from those spamming idiots.
Do NOT reply is indeed the best advice.
Thanks for warning again Psysim, appreciated.
