Too slow! Removing a lot of SPAM this morning, and disabling some accounts.

Yeah, there was quite a collection this morning. I think I made like 10 post reports over breakfast

Arghh. To'o late Ste've m'ust hav'e rem'oved' it.

Oh and a poll with the options 'abused' and 'mistreated' or something like that.

0 = abused

1 = mistreated
