What on earth is happening to this site.

Last week we had one company nearly taking over the site. 

This week we have another. 

Maybe the MODS are all bz bz

but now standards are slipping. 



Maybe it's me being a boring ole fart.  

Answers on a postage stamp please.

Come on guys, can't something be done about all the non relevant ads appearing, otherwise as stated above this site is going to go down hill rapidly!!

I must admit the ads are driving me crazy as well. Someone said the other day in another thread about using the latest posts to catch up with what is going on. I haven't got time to go through each individual topic trying to find a thread that holds interest or warrants a reply.

I understand that a moderator needs to have a look and by the time they do something it can be too late.

Perhaps a limit on how many they can post, for the first time when they first sign up? They are like shi*s in the night post and run away never to be seen again!

As to the company taking over it was a bit excessive - but how else to let someone know you are out there...

We are trying to keep on top of it. But unless we moderate all posts prior to showing, then spam will remain.

I really don’t want to do that, it will kill the site.

Not sure what all the fuss is about, I was under the understanding that a forum was there to be used, to put on it anything that you are thinking to do with the subject the web site was set up for.


If a company puts insurance add and I am looking for insurance then it is informative but if I am not looking for insurance then it is spam.


I have used the forum to build my portfolio of staff and will continue to do so, to most people my posts are spam but for the 4 or so people who have responded have found the post informative.


Just a thought but one man’s spam is another man’s information.


If people are fed up about the standard of posts and usage of the site maybe they need to do something about it and put something interesting on the site that we can all look at with interest.
