The Directories forum is full of spam and misplaced threads. Please make it stop.

Hi Sarah, thanks for confirming that for myself and others.

 

I think you miss the point, "they dont understand English", otherwise they would get it right.
(they own directories to learn the language faster..."DIRPHONICS" , lmao)

@an0n lmfao ... CLASSIC Example



PS.. Ive sent some nasty messages in my time but now dont even bother
(they probably dont understand my slang)

Quite possibly, hope it continues.

 

No it isn't, I've reported 4 just now.

 

I've reported a few over the last couple of days with no action taken.

 

why didn't you post in the feedback section than?
You're complaining about post being out of place and you make a thread in the wrong section..lol
irony?

 

EveryQuery was an asset to this forum and I guess he posted here because he wanted it to be seen by the people who could make a difference. OK this is a 3.5 year bump but the problem remains the same. If you can't moderate a forum then it's not a forum but a spamfest.

 

This forum has lost a lot of good posters in that 3.5 years...

It might be 3.5 years old, but at least it is relevant. If there are 17 moderators surely they have a better chance of getting on top of the mess than us 6 real users talking here (if there's more than 6 I apologise, but that's how many it seems to be)

 

I suppose we can focus our posts here on the spam threads. I can think of much more devious things to do, but let's call this DEFCON 2

 

Finally. Action!

I will report every post I don't consider offers any value to this particular forum - Anything short-one-liner IMO (unless it's from a seasoned poster making a jest or offering a quick insight) is worthless. If a thread is worthless (many are) I'll just do the thread/OP. They've gotta go, chainsaw sale at bunnings, time to lop down this forest of weeds... Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Edit I've done my bit 15 posts/threads/people reported... Now off to do real work...

 

Dan, I might report your post for the heck of it.

I used to visit this section a lot to stay up to date on the directory industry and other information from well respected directory owners but very few have stayed with us on here. There still a few members who care about the directory section on DP but a few bad apples always have to ruin it.

I report posts not just in this section but other sections if I ever get a chance to pop in on DP forum. There a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes on webmaster forums as large as DP so members still need to report threads/posts. The more you you report, the more you drive the moderator nuts in having to read every single one.

 

I'd expect nothing less!!!

The problem is that it isn't a few bad apples any more. I think it's actually a case of there being a few good apples, and barrels and barrels of bad apples with tart vinegar cider posts!!!

I've reported one in this forum 3 times now, and it's still there, despite having absolutely nothing to do with directories (hint: pong). It's all well and good reporting threads/posts, but if they aren't actioned, it feels like a waste of time. Sure, they might disagree on some of them, and you have to give the mod the right of discretion, but this one's a deal breaker. If they don't remove the thread, which isn't about directories, then this forum is no longer relevant and should probably be closed down.
