That is because a spammer posted in the Your Desert Island Disc thread, if the post is not deleted before the mail run then you are informed, just as if it was a legit post.

No if you go to the thread that message is not posted there? So how come it was sent to my inbox?

That message is not there because a moderator has deleted it. I can still view it, see attachment.

I didn't realise that you moderators were so on the ball and deleted posts so fast. Is there any spy-ware installed on the server to look where people have been browsing - or access their computers?
