Monthly state of the forums discussion - what are we doing right, what should we do differently, what can we improve

1. Malmos overmoderation and personal vendettas are bringing the site down far more than ads or other spam.

2. Jamin King starts about 50 non running related threads per day, all of which stay up. Why is this tolerated?

3. The430miler singing his name with Coach Dahl, albeit annoying, is easy to overlook and its much less annoying than seeing 30 different "post was removed" tabs. The best way to handle Dahl is to ignore him, down vote, whatever. But when Malmo (and that's who is doing it) removes them and Dahl posts 30 more, even your A.I. cannot handle that load and it puts a serious strain on the other moderators and irritating asf to keep seeing posts removed tabs. Ive also noticed with Dahls posts that he never reposts the same material if the 1st is left up and he also never posts any other responses in that same thread.

As another user indicated, several annoying people on here arent going anywhere anytime soon. The eternal attempt to silence others like Armstronglivs, the430miler, Glitter Bomb Turbo, whoever; just seems redundant and annoying to the rest of the community. At some point, you need to just let a dead dog die and stop fighting these individuals just because they have egos or unpopular opinion.

The up/down vote function in general is a net-negative for this site, but you likely arent going spare that function, just like you very likely wont address any of our other concerns.

Appeasement. Great strategy.

But I do fundamentally agree that the BroJos aren’t capable of actually stopping it. And so even this thread itself is just a big joke, it’s just disingenuous lip service to make you think they actually care.

No, half the board being filled with spam and porn is annoying. and that's all 430. roughly 1 month ago I checked early morning (woke up early) and 15 of the top 20 threads were all spam ,

I’ve been in favor of requiring registration for a while. There is one very special person who’s determined to vandalize the forum as if it’s his life’s work, and he’s been able to do a great job. I think the brojos have often been naive/oblivious to the full extent that this “free radical” has rendered the forum virtually unusable during peak traffic hours. This guy impersonates spam bots—just for fun!—when he’s not spamming hateful and obscene posts about athletes.

I’ve made tons of posts under anonymous handles and I would miss that option - a bit - but I’d give it up to dramatically clean up the boards. I’ve spent less time on the site in the last couple months than in many years, because it’s gotten worse.

You are overly prudish, but overall not too annoying. malmo is just way too sensitive about any mention of his name. Get rid of the old goat.
