Junk

[Sammy the Red]

Been reporting it as much as I can.

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

You can flag all the postings you want but when it comes right down to it you need more moderation here on the forum. I don't believe it's all coming from one individual or one source, if that was the case or the problem it could be solved in a heartbeat.
I've seen this kinda of thing happen on other forums to the point that they were shut down and it takes days to clean it up before the forums could be brought back online. Once these entity's get a foot hold it's hard to stop. I think it will most likely get worse before it gets better.

Thanks Ric for moving my post as a quote. I hope Kenny is right and you wrong about the JUNK getting worse. Up to now I have enjoyed the site. Gotton a lot of good information, a lot for just reading and not asking.

I hope he's right and I'm wrong also. I've been seeing these postings start here and do nothing but increase in volume in the last few weeks and unless something is done quickly to stop it I don't know where it will go.
One of the problems I see happening is the reduction in membership postings from the veteran membership, and people getting really fed up with the junk and not spending as much time here and posting as they once were, and those could be signs of what's to come.

Just what I always wanted...

I agree that this forum is getting attacked a lot more recently, and I just hope something can be done soon, before the long time members decide to stop visiting.

I know what you mean. I'm not an "veteran", well I am, if you count South East Asia, but I am getting a little concerned and may back off myself, but then again that may be what someone is looking for:thumbdown:

Yes, the whole point of spammers isn't to get people to buy parka coats and watch pornography, it is to put people off the forum.

You turn if you want to - But this veteran is not for turning!

I know its a big world on the internet but its a crying shame that descent guys can't get together and discuss they're problems and give advice.

I know, the worst bit is that it was never like this before. It has been a recent thing.
