Loon!! Hi! Would do but don't think Candy will come out to play.....
Maybe if I tell them on this thread that I can no longer post from my phone, they won't ignore me like they're doing on the 'bugs' forum.
Bear - can you give us a link if you do cos we'd never find amongst all the spam. At this rate I might have to get a life in real world.
FFS, I've just looked up "New Discussions".
I'm not on Twitter / @rsebook - but would there be anything to be gained by virtue of name and shame by drawing attention to RWs' weaknesses that way?
Stop all the spammers!
I have tweeted as well for all the good it will do ...
I do think personally its a little melodramatic to do an en masse flounce, it'll sort itself out at some point, jsut dont exepct it to be quick cos we all know that isnt going to happen
Arsebook might be worth an 'onslaught' .... we are fairly well contained on here
;-)
Come on RW, sort this out! I've used many different types of forums over the years and I've NEVER seen one get this much spam.
Come on RW, get rid of these tossers !
Its well beyond a joke this spam.admin
Just clicked on 'latest posts' and literally the whole of page 1 is spam. Agree as above, well beyond a joke. Sort it out.
Del - there is a moderating team but only in office hours. So we've got the weekend of this cr@p.
RW: Could you not pass this cr@ap onto Advertsing or Trading Standrad s ? Something HAS to be done.
DelB, SD, in this case its not really the moderating team that should have done something to avoid this, its the actual developers of the forum software that should be sacked.
They've had enough warning this was coming, and were more than aware of the techniques being used, yet they steadfastly refused to do something about it (even though thet have been offered help too!).
There really is no excuse for it, except pure laziness and a cba attittude, both of which should result in P45's for those concerned !!
Could you not pass this spam Advertsing or Trading Standards ?
Something HAS to be done.
Can we have a function on this forum where you simply hover over the posters name and have an option to 'ignore' this individual? Would be much quicker and easier than the way we have to do it now. I wonder if this would be possible?
RUNNING forum absolutely WRECKED .
They're even spamming this bliddy thread! I've got used to most of the changes now but not the level of spam...
There's so many pages of spam on general now, you literally can't find any proper threads!
And the earliest they'll sort this is Monday now!!
You can't even set proper threads back to the top as the new spam threads are coming every few minutes
they need to use a system where either your first post is verified, or you have to key in manually 2 randomly generated words...they tend to stop this kind of spam
Fucking spam
I wonder if this is part of an evil RW masterplan to have us all migrate to Fetch?
even with the forums in this state they're still easier to navigate than the fetch forums
Member of other forums that do similar things.
This is just pants. I hope that someone somewhere will take us seriously and realise just how angry we are about this.
OK, anger doesn't help much but it needs to be said. RW forum is facing an exodus of regulars.
Got to get a handle on this, even if people's first 35 posts don't show up until they're reviewed by a moderator. I'm sure some of the regulars would volunteer to moderate.
Just had a look, and I have to agree with Stevie; Fetch is the worst set-out website I've ever seen. That's simply not an option.
Radicchio: this must be second worse then. Compared to other forums, the moderation is a joke. Notice how even without the spam we end up with about 20 threads on the same subject.
Just in case anyone is still out there - read the obituary columns in tomorrows papers.
RW forums have been announced dead.
i love how there are more and more threads popping up moaning about spam...a little ironic as they're bloody spamming it themselves
