Did anyone realize that there are too many people who are actually advertising(which may even be regarded as spamming) websites(which must not be visited at all)?? And ddadmin where are you?? I think it must be deleted as soon as possible(There are 2 posts with advertisments now, some time after it will be out of the limit). Anyone agree with me??

websites(which must not be visited at all)They all tend to redirect to a search/placeholder page. :) Probably a tracking cookie or something involved.
there are too many peopleOr, more likely, one person under several usernames.
And ddadmin where are you??He can't be here all the time, you know.

Twey: Yes but I have seen that from the morning(here where I live) and it's almost been 10 hours(of course ddadmin may be on a holiday or a leave or something but isn't there anyone else who handles this when he is away or something)?? I have not visited any of them so I don't know where they go but it is against the rules isn't it??

Well, then it's an exception but if anyone sees me on the main page which has those "Topics" with those things I am screwed.:(

If DDadmin was ever to put someone else in charge with the board I would think this would be a good idea. jscheuer1 or Twey would probally be the best two for the job.:)

Lol, I've got enough to do with helping you lot! Moderation too? No thanks :p

I do agree that there ought to be more than one person with the power to sort this sort of thing out, though, for exactly this reason.

Hmmm, I wonder what jscheuer1 thinks about being a moderator?:)

That's a bad idea. If anyone found out (intentionally) either of the administrator's password it would most likely be the downfall of this board.

Plus, they've got enough to handle as it is :p

I don't really see spam as an issue right now. Sure they get posted almost daily, but I think it's safe to say they never exist for longer than 24 hours before I spot and delete them. You can also use the "Report post" icon at the upper right of the post in question to let me know manually.

I've thought about adding mods, but like people say, the top helpers here have enough on their hands already, and I wouldn't want to add any formal responsibilities to them. :)

Yeah, that sure does make sense, espescially when they're trying to help a thousand other people. (like me)lol
