@admin...SPAM is driving me nuts!!

[Wonderwiper]

It's a free forum. Doesn't bother me. Don't open them....it's obvious when it's garbage. Newest example, box office movie under pregnancy heading? Not that hard to ignore. Free forums have very minimal supervision, a mod is not going to sit all day waiting to snag a spammer. Would you?

IMO people come to the forum less because it's the same stuff rehashed over and over.

So because it's free it is okay is it? For morons to constantly spam? My issue is with the fact that when someone posts for advice their thread gets bumped off the home screen and they get no response. Just because something is free doesn't mean it should be of poor quality and that kind of opinion and attitude are part of the problem and reason things end up going to the dogs because people roll over and do nothing about it. It's like saying I only paid a dollar for my coffee so it's okay that it's less than mediocre. If a service isn't good then what's the point? This forum should be a pleasant experience for all and if it's sole purpose of being a forum for daycare providers and parents about childcare is suffering because spammers are constantly invading the space and causing people's threads to go unnoticed then that's just not okay. Am I supposed to just roll over and allow this to go on? So if someone "volunteers" their time to moderate the forums and isn't willing to go the distance then someone else needs to do it. If you can't do something properly don't do it at all. People come to the forum less because of all the drama Wonderwiper.....whic h hasn't been an issue of late. Less activity because members have left not just reduced the frequency in which they come due to repetitiveness.
