Sounds like it could be a Firefox Add-in causing this problem. Try disabling your add-ins one by one and see if the problem goes away.

George; this thread was not intended to start a debate about the rights and wrongs of anything. Mine were genuine questions aimed at the site team; questions which have been raised through things I have heard and seen. I won't discuss them further because it would be counter-productive. Suffice to say I have reason to ask the specific questions I have asked, and the answers have confirmed my fears and increased my discomfort. So - thanks J2B for your reply, and I would be quite happy if the thread were now closed because its purpose is clearly served and further replies debating the issue would serve only to raise tensions.

Hi Folks If a member's post gets moderated for whatever reason, is there a formal procedure which is followed laying down things like notifying the moderated user, telling them a full and justified reason why their post was edited or unapproved, and advising them who to contact to challenge and/or appeal the decision made? Is there a formal hierarchy of decision verification? i.e. if a post is moderated is the decision referred to a second moderator for ratification? Is there a definitive list of reasons for moderating posts which all (moderators and members) can see which makes clear what policy is being followed by the team? Finally, and perhaps most contentiously, can you reassure me that moderation is ONLY undertaken by post content, and not by poster identity? I think that in a community this large, policing needs to be transparent and fair; and there need to be clearly understood, publicly readable policies to which the membership and the moderating staff can refer. Thanks

The Bank Charges Recovery Service on http://claimmanagementuk.co.uk/ Look for a site called "WhoCallsMe" and look up the landline number and you'll find quite a few references...

Looking around the Internet it seems that these are a bunch of cowboys; there are reports of aggressive, rude people answering calls, people threatening to "take all your money" if they're not given contact details, etc etc etc. I will be contacting OFCOM as well about these jokers.

I have this morning received a SPAM text from mobile number 07501 494685 which quotes the following: I am in the process of identifying the company concerned and will be reporting them to the Telephone Preference Service and to the Office of Fair Trading. The wording of this message is designed to alarm and worry people and I for one will not tolerate it.

I trust booky - I have known her several years. I know nothing about the modelling agency but booky clearly does and she said google London. Having read that from her, that is what I would do.

No, Bookworm knows what she's talking about. Google London. That's where the reputable modelling agencies are.
