I don't know if this is the place to ask this. I'm on the horse racing forum and we had a spammer take over the board and 

My thread I started got deleted by accident, Is there an archive or anyway to recover it ?

Sorry, deletions are permanent, can't be recovered. 

Best way to prevent spammers is to put the forum on moderation for new members, that way their messages never show to cause problems.

Hi there, I believe you meant to send this to Gunter or one of the other Techs in this forum, sorry I'm just a visitor here.
Good luck to you.
