Sorry guys: a very slight dig at mods re journals

Thanks BD that really helps explain it. I knew it would be something like that.
I just can't understand though why a spammer went right back to a journal that hasn't been updated for three years! Why not choose a more recent one? Ah, who knows with spammers?

Anyway, thanks for the explanation. Feel free to close the thread now if you want.

Thanks again!

Some spammers are spam bots, so they just post wherever, whenever. Anyways they are here to get their annoying ads across in any fashion so bumping a thread that's older than time doesn't matter to them.

Yeah my darling Burning Down explained exactly how we approve posts. I mainly approve posts in the thread themselves but occasionally look at the queue and validate, delete or leave the posts in the queue.
