ATTN MODS: What is being done to stop the flood of sports spam currently underway on DN?

    Mods recently stated that they only check and delete spam twice a day. So in the meantime, it just sits on the site. Unacceptable.

      the thing is, this site is owned by http://tinyboards.co/ the focus is not managing a community forum, it's generating traffic to the job board.

        Then shut down DN and have it just be a job board. Or sell it to someone who can give it the proper care and feeding. No false pretenses.

          Dude grow up. It's been a week and it's a free forum which is traditionally pretty slow to implement changes. If you don't like it ask for a refund.

            Calm down, sport. I'm free to voice my frustrations. If you don't like it, scroll on by.

                Maybe you and Todd can go have a cup of chamomile or something. Relax.

                  M9, you posted a complaint thread, then continued to complain in comments . When others tell you to calm down, rebutting with 'calm down' yourself is a little tedious to read.

                    If this is triggering you that much, maybe sit this thread out. I'm expressing frustration over the site getting spammed to death. I can't help if you have a problem with that. You need to deal with your own reaction over it. Maybe try disagreeing respectfully instead of this "calm your bitch flaps" crap.

                      See, this is what I mean. It's hardly "triggering" me, or anyone, except for yourself clearly.

                        "Jesus christ calm your bitch flaps" sure reads as triggered to me.

                          That's because you're actively upset about the content being posted on DN right now, and in this state of mind most things you'd read would be interpreted as people being as upset as yourself. That's not unusual, tbh. The effect can be especially apparent if you're not usually used to hearing/reading someone who swears colloquially.

                          In actual fact I don't give a shit, as almost everything posted on DN is effectively spam anyway, and content moves so slowly here that it's almost welcoming to see movement on threads. Even if it is pointless 3rd party robospam.

                          However I just like to kick the soapbox out from under someone who clearly needs it done to them.
