With all the stuff that's taken place this week, with nonsense everywhere, the forum needs to think about some new rules, implement them and uphold them.
Many years ago before @Paul Buonopane put in such a great spam protection system in place, many more spam accounts got in of the blatant variety.
They were like "Need money best payday loans" and then an unintelligible paragraph. Back then as a mod I and others would tell people not to reply, either by posting "SPAM" or some snarky remark, that only bumped the thread and gave it more attention.
The same thing needs to be put in place today, Member 1 spams, or posts stuff in the wrong place, REPORT it, it's on the mods to take care of it on a timely basis, many here believe they are the self police of this forum and there is more than one faction and some factions greatly dislike other factions.
The fact of the matter here, is no one is the police department of this website except for the mods @Mod Team Bravo @Mod Team Alfa @Mod Team Echo @Mod Team Foxtrot @Paul Buonopane
So when someone posts something wrong, report it, those that self police should then also receive infractions, since some love to do it so much if they don't alter their behavior they will accrue enough infraction points to be suspended.
This means mod coverage needs to cover the 24 hour day. But this nonsense spills over everywhere, and don't kid yourself it spills offline where people start getting together to discuss their own solutions to certain member behavior.
