This site seems to be bombarded with spammers & no one is dealing with it, I am very dissapointed to see this site go downhill so badly, very sad indeed, it used to be so active & alive, now it sees to be slowly dying.
Yes and no. It's true we're under unprecedented attack at present but that's nothing to do with a 'dying forum'. I can't accept that, for a moment. It won't matter whether anyone else joins as a moderator, or reappears like Curry King. That will only put you in the same position as me. I understand I have as many privileges as anyone (apart from Admin) , but I still need to delete spam messages one by one, which is very time-consuming. I also know it would be risky indeed to give me Admin type access to deleting whole accounts. The problem, I guess, is that Stew is on holiday or otherwise engaged on other activities.
As for widening the scope of moderation to editing and censorship type duties, it's a completely separate issue.
I suggest we just go without the forum for a few days until Stew gets back to us.
How on earth can these people think that anyone would ever respond to this kind of 'marketing'. Perhaps it's more like pure vandalism and nothing to do with trying to sell Ugg boots or anything else.
