Spam/adds are getting a bit much

I am sorry about my complaining, but spam has become really common on the forum. It really is a great website, and I absolutely love it, but it needs more support. Both from us, the moderators, and AntsCanada himself. I understand that spam will never be truly gone, but if you could decrease it by just a little bit it would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading this, and once again, I am deeply sorry for my complaining.

I agree, ads and spam are getting more and more common each day on the forum. I really wish that the spam will stop.

Well we have a new moderator now so maybe it will get better. :)

I try my best and already removed a lot. I speak about banning about 360 user accounts (an estimated amount by the links I safed in my doc) and removing all of their posts. It's crazy seeing the amount of spam and it's a bit hardcore how much there is.

If I get access to the filtering option I will put it in place and have all the spam posts and topics blocked. But I am waiting for the go and access on this. Not blaming anyone of course since it might be a big big decision to take for the people I'm currently in touch with. I don't mind cleaning up the forum but on the long run a filter would be good.

Spamming is a real issue which every website or platform receives. However, good and able websites have a pre-built spam disabler that helps for a great user experience. However, new websites or platforms where people come to access their queries, spamming is something they have to face a lot. This is in favor of the above complaint which needs to be discussed by AntsCanada. Moreover, we all know that it requires expertise to overcome these issues. But understanding the necessary steps helps to reduce the deficit at least.
I think the platform can remove or even reduce spamming by following such initiatives:
1. There must be a strict way to keep our emails limited to ourselves or the admins must take it up their shoulders to keep this a top secret.
2. The privacy policies must be strict and they must be implemented at all sorts.
3. Offer filters for people that do not want to reveal their contact info.
4. There must be an easy way to report spam messages and the users that send them.
5. Moreover, there is a responsibility on us too to not to follow links inside the spam messages.
Similarly, a strict and definite code must be established to reduce add trafficking as well. the websites become crowded a lot and they hinder easy performance.

If I could reach AC, I will let him know right away or propose changes to the forum etc. however it's not easy and I keep asking the Team for updates on another request of mine. ^^'

It's a slow and long lasting process tho.

Then I will try to punch a hole through the weakest part of the car. The car roof. ;)
