SPAM Threads! (thought this was suppose to be about Kandi!)

TurboBeads 5/16/2017 10:01 pm 6400

So I am looking through the active threads for the last week and realized how many spam threads there have been recently.

These have to be spam accounts! If we can get some moderators to clean up half of these I think it would do the site some justice

by keeping the site about what its really about! Beads, Crafts, Kandi, Raves, music, ideas and meeting people with some of the same interest!

Where are the admins and moderators?

If you need a mod.... Sign me up I would be more then willing to help out,

Anyone else agree?

Ugh that is so horrible, I am sorry guys, I normally see and delete spam immediately but haven't been on for a month, I have been busy (for me) and unwell and then out of town (had a horrible time when out of town), I have just deleted the threads and am going to install something to stop it happening again. There is not an easy way for me to assign moderator roles currently + don't have energy to explain how to do it but will see what I can do. The other problem is that whenever I get new moderators, they only moderate for a very short time and then leave :/

One thing I will say though, is I was actually very surprised and happy to see that enough of you are here to care about the spam! I thought the site was abandoned and that nobody was here anymore! but some of you guys are obviously still here!

It's good to hear from you Crumpet! If there is a time that you are able to set up some moderators, Turbo Beads seems to be on all the time, and I plan on being on the site as often as possible, so I think we would both be willing to be moderators if you decide to add some. If there's ever anything I can do to help out, please let me know.

@SavviKardynal: thank you for the mention, yes I would be honored to moderate, @Crumpet: Most definitely always willing to do what I can to help out. All of the spam was getting out of control just had to do something, Ive got some ideas i think would help the site, I BELIEVE you have something great here. It is a shame others come in and dip out so quickly, but I am here for the Long run, this site is not abandoned lots of people care. Keep the passion alive.

@Crumpet: I tried to post a new thread and it says I am not authorized to post a question, is this just a technical error?

@TurboBeads: Eek sorry, sounds like I may have over-restricted the security settings somehow, I'm checking into what's happened and will fix it right now.

[edit] it should be fixed now, but let me know.

Something I don't think I've ever said before, about why I keep not coming on this site... is that coming on here fills me with a huge amount of bad feelings, not sure which ones (thanks alexithymia) but I think it's something like sadness and anger. because I stopped working on this site to put everything I had into my last job, and then my last job abused me and kicked me to the side. so when I come on here now, it reminds me of how I gave up this site - which I loved - and ended up getting nothing but pain in return, and it's very upsetting. But I am trying to come on here in small doses to get over my fear of it so that I can hopefully begin working on it/improving it again. But this is why I still don't come on here very often, even though I'm not at my "worst point" anymore.... because it hurts to come on here and be reminded of how I left it.

@Crumpet: I'm sincerely sorry you have to experience that every time you come and visit here sad2 from what I can tell the community is still really strong and we all interact with each other all the time. Only "issues" I've seen were spam threads which you took care of fairly quickly imo and the hault of approving patterns to the site which I'm assuming is because of the lack of mods. I'm not tech savvy at all like I used to be but you should consider making these awesome members in this thread into moderators and stuff! Even though you did say it would be difficult to explain but I'm sure they'll have more than enough patience with you to take all the time you need to explain puccas it's just a thought though, sending you love and good vibes!
