We don't have an issue in here with people cursing each other out or anything like that.

We don't have an issue with fighting.

We don't have an issue with XXX pictures being posted in here.

We don't have an issue with someone going without help, usually.

WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SPAM.

When are we going to get some Moderator to be able to take these dang ads off of here. That is nothing but spam and they stay on here forever. I'll tell ya what Avanquest I'll be happy to delete these if I had the power. Either that or get someone in here that does have the power to take these off.

On every site I own I get stuff like this and I take it off. Why is it that we have so many users now that no one is moderning this?

I don't have the answers for this one. I have no control. Perhaps it should work like Craigslist and take several people trying to flag it for deletion that it will then get deleted. I am more than happy to flag spam, if it removes it.

Is there a Moderator here?

Is there a Super Power in here?

Avanquest support don't seem to add comments anymore whereas they did at first so I guess its a free for all for spammers
If its not sorted then we should all revert to the original Webeasy Google forum where we didn't get this problem as it was properly moderated

I agree. You can flip thru several pages here. They are not deleting any of these.

If I were a Moderator atleast once a week, even if I were busy I would go thru and delete SPAM.

I do that with my Guestbook, and with my Forums. I don't have much traffic on mine and I am set up to where I get an e-mail for each message, but every-now-and-again I do take my time and look thru them.

If I spent as much time on my own Forum as I do here it would probably take off. I just wish I had a Forum like this. WebEasy isn't capable of doing somthing like this. That would be great if they did.

Currently I am using free Forums from BraveNet.com to host mine.

I think I should look into outside Forums so I can host it right on one of my pages.

This WE forum has the highest thread count. You would think that they would pay more attention to what is being said here in order to improve the product. Guess not.
Sometimes I wish they would sell it back to the original Aussie developers.

I vote we don't post until the CRAPPY SPAM goes away.

Would that be TOO HARSH?

I don't think so. Let the spammers have it for awhile and
see what happens...

There are many boards here. I suppose the mods can't be here all the time.

I reported spam to the mod a few days ago. And it was gone in about 12 hours.
