I know that, on both counts. My point is that it's not working. In the last 3 hours the FAQ's have again fille with spam. I've been watching this happen for 6 months Tami. How patient are we expected to be Tami?
I know Adam is trying to get NING to find a way to stop the spam bots. All I'm asking, as I have said, is a little more communication. I've spent 3 hours trying to find the thread I need and I still can't find it.
I'm a long time member of the site, I understand what's going on, but most people aren't, because the long term members are so fed up they are leaving due to a lack of communication on this.
You know that, it's been happening for a year now!
It's even started a rivalry with LPA. A site which once co-operated with this one.
And you don't have mods under the equator, so there will always be a gap.
Once again, this is not a criticism, it's a genuine cry for help. Is this going to need a drastic solution, and I fully understand the meaning of drastic when it comes to this site, or is it a matter of too many Indians and not enough chiefs?

the increase of spambots is a glitch on ning's part.  hopefully they fix it as soon as possible.  the bots find loopholes with ning's software.  we are working with ning to catch these loopholes.  we dont start rivarly with sites.  e-beefing is pointless.

 

as for communication, we will strive to do better.  however we hope to get a stick thread option because when we do communicate what we post usually gets bumped down by users.  all good things come to those who wait.

Thanks heaps Tam, now it makes a bit more sense.
I will continue to do my best to report only necessary items and ignore the spam bots until you find a solution.

I know that the staff of this site specifically did not start a rivalry, but it exists whether you acknowledge it or not, I do agree that it's ridiculous and pointless. Hopefully when NING does sort out the issues with this site LPA won't have anything to say anymore.

A sticky feature would help a lot. The thread I'm talking about was a communication by staff, and I still can't find it. I've given up now lol.
It's good to see you back in full force Tami. It's been a while :)
Thank you for listening, and Dan and Adam, who always heed my messages on Twitter. It really is appreciated.
