Regarding the spam on here
Okay! I contacted the admin several times through the "Contact us" link, and I also reported posts and gave infractions - no reaction.
I hereby encourage all of you to contact the admins so we can have this mess cleaned up.

I think a while ago I said people should give infractions, but I was wrong - they're the less effective option for spam.
Wasn't Admin saying that reporting was what would get it taken care of?

Yes, but then he also said that reporting was broken, and who knows if that works right now. So report the posts AND contact them - if we spam their inbox enough, I bet they'll eventually get tired of it and fix it.

Infractions are fine. Since people had problems with the 'report post' option, we've been keeping an eye on post infractions as well, lately. Sorry they have not been as timely as some of you would prefer, but they do actually generally get taken care of.

Yeah this spam problem has gotten completely out of control. 6 whole list pages per category of spam.

Well, during the last massive infestation, we reached 40 before something was done.

Oh man. -_- It's still going
And it makes you wait between each report so you can't just efficiently get it all done. Worst feature ever.

Y'all seem to have lost this war. Any of the old regulars left that haven't pissed off admin enough that they could act as some sort of spam-genocidal pseudo-mod?
EDIT: though I guess that would require getting hold of the admin anyway.

Sorry about the double post, but I've been gone for a while and there is literally nothing but shitty scrip ads. Not even drugs that anyone really wants anyways?!!?!

That was fairly good timing xD
But yeah... I don't see why a mod isn't appointed. Plenty of us are active enough

To report spam there's an endless cycle of report, wait the 60 seconds required, do something else and get logged out for being inactive.. and more just spews out while you're doing that handful.
I gave up and contacted the admin saying that the spam was coming faster than I could report.

So um, no one's going to buy shitty drugs from a spam-bot on a goth forum. Why is this even happening? Who thought, ooh ooh that goth forum, I bet those bitches love pharmaceuticals, let's spam them until it's pretty much unusable.
Benevolent Gnet, save us from this terrible, porky scourge.

Noob complains
I just sent a message to admin via "Contact Us", letīs see what happens. I just joined this forum a little while ago and would really like to participate but itīs a little irritating to find 99 spams and one real post in the "New Posts" every time.
Other than that, looks like a nice place.

The administration gives no fucks, they are sucking up ad money as it trickles in; people are still showing up, who cares.

It can take weeks for the admin to do something.
