[bearded bloke]

Well most of them anyway ,you may have noticed there have been a few posting

We (Admin & Mod's) would like to say HUGE Thank You to all the Grapes who have alerted us to the spammers over the past few months...your notifications are much appreciated and help to make this site as successful as it us.

And so.... We are awarding some rather special Easter Eggs ( virtual) to the top 5 Grapes (in no particular order .. Bren in Pots,WendyC,Hazel at the hill,iGrow & Fleurisa) who have alerted us to spammers over the past few months....








And to everyone else who has contributed some rather yummy.....












Many thanks, and a Happy Easter to you all

No biggy but it does my head right in

Kitchen spammers still seem to trickle through...... But yes, Happy Easter to all and thank you Mods for all your good work week in week out. Without Mods we the vine would wither and die.

Sadly we can't get rid of all of them but there should be a reduction approx 7:1 on the kitchen front

Thank you & it's our pleasure

Thanks Mods and admin

It does make me wonder sometimes what spammers gain by doing what they do.

what spammers gain by doing what they do.

In the case of those that post a hyperlink,they earn on a "pay per click" basis
