    Great, even our Teenagers do not sound British anymore.
    Would have put money on them being from across the Pond.
    Apologies to Americans Friends for that.
    (I love the USA really just like winding you up.)

    When signing up it looks like the country flag defaults to 'USA', any change to user profile also defaults the flag back to USA.

    A group of people of unknown nationality went into an internet cafe somewhere in the UK and invaded the forum with a lot of rude, crude, irreverant & disgusting posts which were promptly deleted.

    What they didn't know was that they can be traced.
    When I bumped up the comments about tracing the fake Veteran they scarpered shortly after.
    Can I remind fellow users to report any dodgey posts using the Warning Triangle. Within minutes we had three Moderators busily deleting Posts.
    Which were extremely rude and crude.

    We've also had new posts promoting porn sites and suchlike.

    Yes, do click the report button. The Mods do their best, but we can't be online all the time.

    I have deleted a few more as I am GMT +10. Hopefully we can snip most of them in the bud.

    ...I didn't have much to do with it.

    The distress calls landed in my in-box while I was going from work to home. By the time I logged on at home, the other moderators had zapped the posts.

    I can only assure you that I will act as soon as I see a complaint. I had no tolerance for those clowns, either.
