Not sure if you're speaking of the old forums, but they weren't closed until February, 2010.

ETA: As an afterthought, it's possible you were speaking of SL as a whole.  I joined in May, 2007 during what was apparently one of the "boom years" due to the publicity of SL's first millionaire.  Are you referring to LL allowing people to join for free?  (I recall a lot of those debates back in the day.)

I'm tired of the call girl spam too but how is it more difficult to log in or start a new thread?  All you have to do is click the right link or button regardless of what else is posted.

Your post may be pushed down by the porn spam, but most people just scroll past it to get to the legitimate posts.  You can also RIC it so the moderators get rid of it.  Until then if you start a thread and don't get any or many responses, it has more to do with how  interesting your post was to readers and their desire to respond than the presence of the porn spam.

All that said, LL really does need to get a handle on the spam here.  I'm sure it is discouraging some people from wanting to participate in the forum to a degree.

I tend to check the forums from my mobile phone. I see the spam, report it then go view another forum. It just isn't a good use of my time to go searching through the pages of spam to find a new post. The lindens inability to manage the spam problems are pathetic. Not just the forums but now the profile private messaging system is useless for anyone other than friends. It really is astonishingly amateur they can' t deal with this better.

Porn spam?  Since when did they which to porn spam from whore spam and how did I miss it?

...Dres

I think it's a typo. Tears must have had "Pork spam" sandwiches for lunch for the last fortnight amd he/she/it is obviously tiring of the taste.

There surely would be a need for something like...

... but Linden Lab does not like it. They changed things so that it is extremely fast and easy to create a new account. They truly and firmly did believe that this would increase SL population and concurrency.

1. You have hardly ever participated in the forums. How can it bother you then so much?

2. Yep the spam is dumb, but LL doesn't read here and has done nothing since it started. Wait until it gets deleted and then post something.

3. The thing with your parcel, not true. That doesn't happen...and I'm often dressed sexy...so.... (also its not a single bit related to the spam in the forum.)

Kind of like their bright idea of discontinuing surnames because it was discouraging people from joining SL. /facepalms

I agree that the spam is bothersome, it affects posters as much as lurkers, but I don't see it as much as a problem as to close the forums if they exist.

the forums are a place for people to exchange ideas, find help, and express themselves following the guidelines of the forum owners.

I accept the spam problem in exchange of having a forum.

... that obviously nobody ever proof read that cartoon: "Did you passed" :smileyindifferent:

It's hardly worth ******* commenting upon as it is so obviously the work of a ******* ESLer.

ETA: Yep! I checked, and the author is a ******* German. Probably a ******* Mac user too.
