It would be reasonable to assume that someone involved with the mmoc is concerned about these issues, in which case it would be nice if we were kept in the loop regarding progress and the nature of the difficulties being experienced, as there appears to be more to this than meets the eye. At the moment it's left to the mods to waste their time and the rest of us to grin and bear it.

In an effort to prevent SPAM, we have now changed the messageboard so that new members have to be authenticated. This is more work for the admin/moderating team and newly registered members will have to wait until they have been authenticated, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction to prevent the bombardment of recent days.

Thank you. :D

It may not necessarily be Russian as inter alia several Balkon states also use cryllic writing. Some of the words are directly readable being international origin and a few I see have slavic roots e.g dobje meaning anything "good". Other than that my knowledge is negligable. :(

Thanks for the information, it's a shame the team are left to find the solution, from the little I can fathom, and of course I could be wrong, it seems our IT provider have called it a day? Or are they asking for more money to refine the forum?

Posted on Cam's new thread re authentication:

Is the authentication process something that can be carried out by the Club's paid admin officials or, indeed, pay an interested person to do so? It would seem a good investment for the MMOC money
