Super - this morning the Eurpe forum is clean. No more Spam from the Korean Casino.

Moderators, you did a good job! Thank you and excuse our impatience. It shows how much we like to share our travel experiences.

It was getting a bit wearing with only one of the 50 posts on my "front page" being a genuine post. Thanks and well done, keep it clean!

Thank you!!!

Thank goodness.

fingers crossed.

Someone said that they start to turn up again in the afternoon when Korea wakes up so we shall see.

Koreans don't work on Sunday do they ?

Aargh, Woin!

So nice!!

Thank mr_go, whose thread in the Lounge woke up the mods.

I don't think mr_go's or any of the other several threads brought this about. Between the URL threads for sexual aids (mostly on the US board) and the 'Korean' spam (mostly here on Europe) there has been a TON of junk on the boards . . . and it has always been deleted. It just seems the past two days have been worse and took a lot longer to clean up.

Yes -- we definitely need to keep out fingers crossed

I think the moderators did a good job and didn't need a wake-up call.

Actually I thought it was a little on the rude side.

Just my opinion!!

And I agree with janisj.

Kudos to the mods.

By the way, I haven't been able to connect to Fodors for the last 2 days, using Firefox. I thought they shut it down to clear spam. But apparently not. Today I can open it using (medieval) Internet Explorer, but Firefox always says "Bad Request

Anyone else has the same problem?

Only then I knew how much I missed Fodors when it wasn't there.

Any chance the thousands of repetitive Korean threads were related to the thousands of repetitive Trump threads in the Lounge? So many similarities.

I am using Firefox with no problem, and no interruption of service.

On the plus side, I now speak Korean fluently.

we only missed you when you were gone, FF!

Have you tried Safari?

Maitaitom, I'm impressed at your fluency with languages - perhaps you an translate some of the other spam for us as though many are written in what is supposed to be english, I have no idea what they are talking about. perhaps they are more relevant to you, perchance?

[oops, Tom, that wasn't written quite as I would have liked, it was meant to be a tease, nothing more]

It is a pleasure to get on the forums and have no spam! I wonder which of the tech fixes they got to work. Mods alone can't compete with spam-bots!

annhig, that's sweet of you
At the moment Fodors is back to normal with me. I'm enjoying a hot chocolat in the cold weather while surfing my favorite traveling forum.
