YES I have seen some threads they have just taken over and awhile back was even some porn. It just seems to keep growing. I agree sure wish something could be done.

Yes the junk seems to be taking over the forum. There's one thread today about a Gay Nude Date.

Yes something can be done but it takes more the removing the threads, you have to remove the problem also.

Okay, I belong to way too many forums(about 15), and this just doesn't happen anywhere else. Something in the forum software is allowing spam makers to join and post. It seems that prevention relies on a manual step in the registration process. I know it means more work for the moderators, but it may be the only way to stop this.

What moderators?? As far as I know there are only two active administrators. As far as the forum software allowing spam makers to join, I don't believe that has anything to do with the problem.The New account activation is probably set up for user activation and isn't moderated by the administrator so anyone can join at anytime under any name with any email address.

As I see it this thread should keep going, very sick of the junk.

I also belong to several forums and this is the only one affected by this type of garbage. I just found it interesting that Breana readily moves threads from one location to the other, but nothing is happening to the junk. Maybe I'm missing something. I would think that the administrator could ban the sources of the threads and quickly remove the thread. Maybe it would atleast slow down this stuff. Just my opinion. This post was surposed to be in the junk thread. I have no idea how it got here. I tried to delete but to no avail. Sorry

I am a Administrator on a couple of other forums and what you say about banning the source is the first step in controlling the problem but it needs to be followed up with a couple of more steps to be successful. Removing the threads only works if The Administrator uses those other steps. If all that happens is thread removal the situation will only become worse as it has here.
fastback I hope you don't mind but I quoted you from your post in the members forum.

About all that can be done now is to flag & report any postings that should be looked at...
The small triangle in every post.

I have to think that there is someone that is upset with us, that they are spending a lot of time directing everything they can find our way...
I suspect when the 'fun' wares off, it should slow down... :smile:KennyV
