Hitchcocks Forum

Can the site implement a question for registration?
Something simple, like "How many carburetors on a 500 Bullet?" or "How many valves in a 350 Meteor?"?

Good idea.

The recent spam postings with a link relating to EPC's are a fine example. I remember when EPC's became mandatory and there was a flood of idiots with qualifications amounting to half a CSE and a budgerigar were taking online tests for accreditation as EPC 'experts.'

(With all due apologies to budgies...)

I don't know how many valves are in a new meteor (too new for me)

Guess I fail Dai

Good idea. However, I noticed that these spam posts hadn’t been reported. The site admin have requested that they are, so they can be dealt with asap. Now done.

(Top right of a post, menu buttons include an option to report it).

How about holding back the first post until it has been checked by moderators

Last time I tried this, I got banned!

Apparently I was accidentally included in the block of the spammer.
