I came here, looking for a good forum that tries to do something about scammers. Although I can see there are plenty of members and topics , there does not seem to be that much action. Only thing I see is a lot of spam and a very limited number of moderators to take care of it.
So is this forum active, or has it gone dormant?

Thanks for the short, but to the point, answer ;)

And the moderators are on it... deleting all the "nonsense" posts multiple times a day...

That I can see, but it seems you are getting a lot of nonsense posts.

Most boards have that same problem.

I know what it takes to moderate a board, so I know what you are talking about, but judging from the words you banned, they seem to be rather persistent here. Usually they get the picture after some time.
Stiill, you do a nice job keeping it clean.

When we started getting a lot of post for "adult" sites is when I added the banned words list so at least if someone tried to post it and we could not get it down fast, the information was messed up.

And the ones that don't get the point from that, we just ban and delete them.

I don't know what I would do without my "staff" . . . I just hope that someday I can pay them for their work!
