Porn in the group

[LowGear]

I've read these references to porn for the last year and only this last week did I run across two.  Big deal!  Unfortunately, the porn looked like the other tired old stuff that has such a big place on the internet.  Both listings took almost 7 seconds of my time.  It wasn't what I wanted to see so I moved on.  Craigslist has a button that users can tap to notify the administrator that something is questionable. 

This is a great site and a real joy to get a cross section of people from around the world - curiosity seekers to hard core machine nerds.  I meet a person that had listed an engine on the site and she wouldn't use the site anymore because of the obtuse ridicules malarkey that the different "old hands" offered and seemed as though the site was their only real life and didn't have time to do anything real or meaningful.  I think she might have been less interested in the porn but we talked engines.  No apple pie just engines and "can you believe the total waste of time most of the replies are".

Thanks very much for a great site.

I'm certain that you can ask for a refund of whatever financial assistance you have supplied here on your way out...

Guess I didn't have my "nice" hat on that day.  What I should have said is "If it were me and I were as upset as you seem to be, I would have asked for a refund and left the site".  Of course, I have not contributed financially and assume most of us have not.

Thanks for the site, Admin, I appreciate it.

Wow! Not a bit of porn/spam since the new policy! Excellent!

[jimdunne]

Have you looked at the new member lists? The porn/spam, etc, baddies sign up, one after the other, but now cannot post, and it is just great!!

[rcavictim]

The improvement was instant!  Great stuff.  Question though.  Can legitimate folks still join up and post?

I am one of the moderators on Smokstak, and most of the time I have very little to do, as Harry Matthews (site owner/operator) has always had a very rigid policy on new members and members causing problems.

To keep a site running takes time and money, even 'static' display sites like our own take up a considerable amount of time, facilities and cash.

Working out which policy to adopt towards new members is always going to be time-consuming but if done properly, it will repay the initial input many times over.

I suppose it is a 'growing pains' sort of problem, as it doesn't rear its head until there is a fair bit of traffic and that's exactly when you don't have time to go in and start making policy changes.

Personally, I'd be inclined to make new member approval a matter for a small panel of existing members, and let them decide. Plenty of them have the time and access to do it, just needs, say, a minimum of three members to approve a new one. THEN you can go to registration etc., when you know you have a good member in prospect.

My 2c worth.

Dont look at the poster that says new member.... that just shows the newest UNVALIDATED member, over the past few days I have reviewed over 200 odd New Members and approved none, I reject them all

porn, viagra, bank loans you name it, and others that just dont look right, so if it does not pass my initial smell test, its gone

Ok thanks, I thought that was somebody who was accepted already. I won't pay any attention to those any more.
