Scam postings

Do you have any way to stop these people who post garbage on various threads, apparently trying to sell something (like "keto"), but barely using English in the process? Don't you have to be a member to post? How do these scammers get around that?

You do not need to be a paying member to post, all you need to do is register. We try our hardest to delete these right away and we have moderators that help but we are human and do need to sleep at some point ;)

That's why you should install some software that instantly sends 50,000 volts through the computer of anyone who tries to post that stuff. No human intervention needed.

It'd getting worse... I just logged in and the top five categories are all keto, hemp, or CBD. Sheesh!

Somehow, I doubt it...

 

Seems like a thankless job to continually scrub these scam posts---sorta like the municipal workers who clean graffiti from subway cars.
