I fell victim to the spam BOT yesterday, couldn't see the posts I made, it would show when I hit the reply button, and my name would also show as the last poster.

However, if I opened the thread, the post wouldn't be visible. And if I checked my last posts via my profile, I would again see it.

How do members contact a Moderator for a particular section? You can't PM them, and bar the "report to a moderator" function (which you can't use for your own posts) there's no way of getting through. Is there a section whereby Moderators have contact details? I'm fully aware most people (myself included) don't like leaving personal email details in their profiles.

It would help if Moderators though did have some form of contact by members!

you have a point there. i've been a victim of those damn bots more than once myself (you're lucky you didn't get banned). some sections have a complaints thread, but the mods have to close it cos some members abuse it by posting spam messages and irrelevant complains.
why not post the link of the topic, maybe the mods that visit here regularly will take care of it.

Happened to me as well, but got released after a few hours after telling another mod.

^^But moderators have duties imposed on them pertaining the spam bot issue

Thanks, Taylor, sent.

Still nothing's changed - the posts I made on that thread are still invisible!

I reported the link to Seun. Sorry.

No worries, Taylor.

It's happened again today, in another section!
