Does anyone know what's happened to Bill? Is he travelling?

It's like there's no one at the helm of the ship here. Spam running rampant...

I agree!

It is quite apparent that we need two moderators, not one.
Some thing needs to be done. Maybe Chris needs to monator this site more frequently?
It is getting to the point that it is more trouble to sort through spam that it is worth to enjoy this site. and be a paying member.

Yeah, it's getting kind of ridiculous. The "new posts" is basically useless which is my main way of accessing the site. I think I'll have to start checking weekly instead of daily till the floodgates get closed somehow.

I sent Bill a private message two days ago and haven't heard back. Meantime, more and more spam is showing up on the site, with "Trial Member" on it. Guess I'll also wait and check less often, until this situation is fixed.

Thanks to all legitimate members for your comments and tracking info, even if it isn't making a difference right now.

Default New Members and Forum Security

Can ANYONE sign up as a "trial member" (Is that the default for the forum?)? If so, maybe the time has come to start people off as GUEST (no posting, limited access). I've come across several members who have provided no public information about themselves, not even GENERAL geographic or personal information. Now, I realize they could make something up, but why not require SOME personal information for every member? After all, we're supposed to be "one big, happy family, helping each other," aren't we?

Just wondering (and, maybe, talking to myself). Right now, IMHO, the forum is operating in UN-moderated mode.

Happy Camping!

I think we need some volunteers for the "co-moderator" position.

I sincerely hope Bill is OK. It's not like him to be away from the board for this long.




Is there anyone else who would be willing to help do the job?

I'm willing to do some "clean-up" work, but I have a full time job and a family and I can't be depended upon to do it all.

There was an open call for new moderators a few months ago in case anyone missed it.

I remember that call for new moderators too Dave. And in a note on 5/15/08 Bill said:
