What is with all the daily SPAM posts that nobody bans? I block 5 to 10 new accounts every day so I don't see them. And how about the porn posts? I report them and nothing happens.

Because there's like 100 posts a day of it, and they change usernames every time. And there aren't any full time employees, it's just some volunteers. So why would you expect this place to be spam free? You expect a team of free people to survey this site 24/7 so you never have to look at an ad? Get real.

This is also exactly the foot in the door that's used to create censorship. So instead of complaining about ads, how about you are grateful to have a place where you can say what you want without being censored.

Valid points but I can still hate on it.

Fair enough. But you're not exactly stepping up to the plate to help moderate either, so it's just idle words. "Won't someone dedicate their life 24/7 for years to do the super annoying thing I don't want to do?"

There's a reason there's so much spam, it's because the situation is a bitch and this website is being attacked constantly.

I'm not a site wide mod so I am basically powerless but I do ban shitheads from my subs every day. I do all I can do.

Thank you for your input.

Thanks for taking care of your subs, that is useful and appreciated. Sorry if I overreacted, I am just generally tired of people complaining about things they do nothing to fix and often actively make worse, it's like a pandemic especially on text forums
