Please grant one or 2 of us regulars the power to remove the spammers.
This is getting old and detrimental to the forum.

I think most of us would like to help remove the problems, until a more permanent solution can be had.

...Another thing I want to mention, that Ive noticed. When I first joined, there were probably 1-5 new topics started a day. Now theres practically nothing.
I wonder if these scammers make any money. I mean, does anyone "buy" that stuff? I bet they make less profit than it costs to run the AI program that posts these.

Are you kidding, there‘s 65 new topics per day. It’s wonderful!
There might just be, by your minimum standards, at least 1 new, legitimate, on-topic topic posted per day, but it’s buried under a slew of spam posts.
Has anyone clicked on the Xenforo link and looked for what the issue might be? We cannot do anything about it, not being the administrator, but we’d know, maybe? https://xenforo.com/community/ <—They’ve got a forum over there too..

Can you imagine, being a new go kart enthusiast and clicking onto this forum. The first thing you see is 25 post on how to buy drugs of every kind, or some BS investment scam, or I even think one of them was on how to knock off someone. I know I certainly would not have stayed if that's what I found. Today looked more like old times. No B S. Maybe somebody heard our complaints.
I have been trying to get hold of him. I am going to try call him later on. Lets see....

Yea, lol the AI got the hint.
Nope. It was just me logging on about 5 times during the day to clean spam

Didn't know Cyrillic was an alphabet for a username on here. Got a live one potentially from Eastern Europe. Nothing yet with a thread yet, but keeping my eyes on it.
I'm usually seeing a few spam threads per day, some days worse than others. I'm probably not the only one reporting them.

I'm trying guys. I have been deleting and banning like crazy.
Still no news from Robert though. I am not able to get through to him now. I have messaged him a few times, but nothing has been read. I called him twice too. I'll keep you posted
I think all that needs to be done is to configure all the spam filters in the backend, but I cant get in there

Not sure what was going on last night, but got a 503 Error trying to get on here. Was it down for maintenance?
