They were only locked because one poster decided to start spamming with repeated copies of the same post - at one stage there were >8 in one of the threads. In all >20 were deleted from both threads (I lost count as they were being posted faster than I could delete). I was not prepred to keep spending this amount of time doing this becasue of one idiot --> threads locked to stop it.

I have not done any other editing function in this thread and have been reluctant to, until now. Enough was enough - there were plenty of forum rules being broken. However, what I will do is just move the message to quarantine for another mod to do the actual editing and then return it. In the case of the spammer above, there first message was sent to quarantine as it did not comply with the forum rules(it has now been edited by someone else and retuned). A note was left for them to that effect --> they went ballistic with the spam. I expect them to be banned.
