Felt like sitting on an old musty couch and getting dog hairs all over my black Metallica t shirt. With the smell of dog urine throughout the place.
HD, you just forget bad things, like that weird uncle who dressed as a clown and had you sit on his lap when he use to visit when you were a kid.

And I thought a $1 was a good price. I even offered it... Prepaid with one week guarantee shipping to this door lol .. Hmmm a minimum order enough to cover a few weeks in the Bahamas would be good... oh %$@&÷ I hope he doesn't place an order... Smiles

Do they use a sign-related question to sign up?
That can be a good way to slow them down if you change the question every so often.

I remove and ban around 10 new "users" a day. I've made requests for services to filter these new members but they have been lost in the abyss.
Doing as best I can to keep this place clean.
I don't know how you guys handle it. Moderating a place is one thing, moderating one that refuses any anti spam measures is another.

There's a ton of add-ons for xenforo to prevent bots. Ones that aren't even obtrusive to regular users who sign up...

It bugs me seeing 4-5 new Viagra threads every single night. I can easily ignore it for sure, but it feels unprofessional.

Imagine someone entering your shop everyday with a bottle of Viagra promising your customers the world. He'd be out on his ass in no time, and you'd make sure it didn't happen again. You wouldn't hire a voulenteering bodyguard to throw him out, but tell him he can only do so after the guy hawks his magic pills. You'd find a way to prevent him from entering in the first place.

That stuff should be taken care.of automatically, with moderators fixing anything that slips through the cracks, and dealing with other problems. You guys have more patience than I do, I'd have given up by now.


The only things I miss about the old site is the policy enforcement. Fred was great about spam, and keeping all the ice cream label posts to a minimum.

Don't get me wrong, I still love this place. I just think it could be better with minimal effort, and without affecting the bottom line. In its current state, it feels slightly abandoned.
