About half the latest 100 posts are spam posts. They are easy to spot. Why is it so hard for Winston to go through and delete them all?

What I see is that traffic is down substantially. Trolls choke the forum much of the time, and often they are the bulk of activity. An average guy looking through here might get one whiff of all the outlandish moonbeam stuff and write it off.
Re: Poll: Does Winston give a damn about his own forum?
There are even troll-postings in the 'Banning and Warning Announcements' since days.
I think, Winston should clean up his forum more frequently, maybe he should control it daily, but it seems he is not always available.
He is not making a living out of this forum, I guess this is merely a hobby and a side-business, he often said there are other sources of income (renting out space? or something like that?)

Re: Poll: Does Winston give a damn about his own forum?
I've tried to initiate threads with varied topics worth discussing but they go unnoticed, while sensasionalistic crap like "90% of humanity should be exterminated" elicit plenty of responses. Or endless infantile stuff on whether some chick is hot or if she is white / black etcOutWest wrote:droid wrote:You may select two options

Aside from all this, i think a nice feature Winston could add would be to automatically bump a random thread from the archive everyday, this would stimulate discussions.

Re: Poll: Does Winston give a damn about his own forum?
I wonder how Winston spends most of his time. It seems like he would have plenty of time to maintain his own forum given that he doesn't work and has sources of passive income.
Re: Poll: Does Winston give a damn about his own forum?
Wouldn’t it at least be possible to have new member posts not posted to the Top 100 Posts Page so they wouldn’t contaminate it pending their deletion?
Re: Poll: Does Winston give a damn about his own forum?
Clearly they're signing up by hand, as not even Winston's personal question stopped them.
Some chump somewhere probably gets $0.01 to do it. Then the bots get to send whatever crap.
The problem is somewhere in the 100-topics page php, as i suggested before.
https://blog.phpbb.com/2009/11/09/how-t ... nal-pages/
The phpBB catches the posts ("topic does not exist") but they don't get sifted by the latest topics page.
It probably needs just a one liner like this
if(t.topic_status == ' .REMOVED . ') {continue;}
Fschmidt could probably solve it in five minutes if Winston gave him some incentive

Winston should be careful as I've had two online businesses whose income has nosedived very quickly indeed. You need to keep reinvesting some of the profits to keep things fresh.
I was Happier Abroad for a while but Covid killed that off.

The spammers are becomming a problem again. The idea would also be to go through the membership and ban all suspicious usernames that haven't posted yet.

Winston ..Its time to upgrade the forum man...Get new vBulliten software, it will reduce the spam considerably and you will have more control.
The whole forum experience is very 90s.
Well, I don't just say it...I will do it for free and help you install the software etc..The software cost a bit more but its worth it..90% of all forums have vBulliten software and they have excellent support.
It also have inbuilt SEO which will help appear your post in Google ranking. Your China posts need more exposure...The reason HA posts don't appear in Google often is due to phpbb not secure in the eyes of Google.
https://www.vbulletin.com/faqsales.php
Its 195 USD/ year and its is the most used forum software on the internet.
Go for it.

He spends his down time researching his religious topics from Michale Tsarion, and truth projects. You'll see when he comes up with his next thread about how he's seeking some truth.Traveler wrote:I wonder how Winston spends most of his time.
