I'd be curious to know if this forum uses any of the spam mods listed on this very forum. While specifics would be great, I'd assume a yes / no is the best we could hope for in an official response.

Perhaps they are not good enough :erm:

A simple one whould be to prevent newbies from adding a url or pictures unless they have x number of posts, once added that would cut down alot of the pictures which most members are finding offensive, That don't require any input from staff members at all, so no excuse there really.

Makes me wonder how we can't give a good honest answer to a problem that this board has got without being accused of starting a riot, Thats not what this is about, so i don't know for the life in me why some people think it is.

If a member on my board came to me with a solution to a problem i'd certainly look into it and do or say something a little contructive :erm: I don't think anyones looking to take any credit for implementing this, just putting forward an idea to a problem in a polite way.

the problem, UKBL is that everybody here think they have the solution. people want to replace the staff, the admins, the engine, the addons... it's just replacement.

the mean here is that if all these people -- me included -- would use their time on their boards instead of passing 6 hours per day on vb.org, there would be a lot less complaints and whines... there would also have less job for the moderators who are forced to moderate all of us.

people complaint about what is to be done here, but how is it done on their site?... do they have to face 20 000 users' activity? mostly not. i have 3 boards with more than 50K active users, and i merely see the job to listen to each suggestions made on these forums... so having to read from admins all the time (because we're all admins here) is just harassment... everybody have the touch.

Don't put me in your group nex. I don't want to see a change of staff. I couldn't care less about that.

I want to see a change in policy so I don't end up signing on here at university again, and having the page blocked, and facing potential disciplinary action because the forum contains porn.

I am confused, do you not have to have a valid vb license to post here? If so, how can they post I assume they don't have a license?

Some areas can be posted in by unlicensed members.

Let me try to give an answer to this.

From the first post of this thread:
Quote:
What is the administration going to do to address this ongoing issue?
This single line make a few assumptions:
- There is an ongoing issue that has been a problem for some time.
- Administration failed to address this issue.

The "ongoing issue" is stated as a fact, but i don't see the proof of this claim. Usually spammers are handled without much delay, often even before any member viewed or reported it. Not a real issue in my view.

Last saturday we had a situation where no staff was online for a longer period of time. This is not common and should be seen as an exception. This same day we had a sudden increase of porn spammers. Very unfortunate coincidence, but not a structual problem as we usually do not get that many porn spammers (probably school holiday in some countries) and we do have staff that handles this spam within a reasonable time.

Now here is where the irritation starts on both sides. Staff don't see this as a problem that needs to be addressed (or need to be addressed on short term), and members "accusing" staff of ignoring the "problem".

Yes suggestions are welcomed, but please don't go search for problems where there are none (or none structural/severe) and then blame staff if they don't want to spend time on a problem that doesn't exist.

thumbs up for Marco on this... the official answer.

as i always say, if you really think the administration fail, make it so it is not failing on your own site... you're all admins for god sakes, not regular members... you know what it is to be behind the desk.

anyway... where is the button for a strike?
