Solve : Example of a forum turned into farce due to lack of moderation

1.	Solve : Example of a forum turned into farce due to lack of moderation?
Answer» I own a Eureka vacuum sweeper. I wanted to find a forum where vacuum cleaners are discussed. I found one which I soon discovered is just ruined as a serious forum on vacuum cleaners due to what appears to be a total absence of moderation. If I've stirred your CURIOSITY, see http://www.vacuumcleanerforum.com/ I've never seen anything quite this bad in a forum. LOL thats a good amount of spam right there. the only active User as I write this is "DelfSlohiff"- likely a spammer. same with the most recent MEMBER to join, "lalsaifspahGB". From what I've heard this is similar to CH's situation before Nathan decided to get a team of moderators, that is, when Nathan was the only one with the ability to edit/delete posts. He obviously couldn't be on 24/7 and had other things to do, and the forum would often be overrun with pages of spam before Nathan was able to arrive and remove it. Not sure when this was, but I guess at some point it became apparent that Nathan wouldn't be able to sit in front of his computer and monitor the forum for spam, and I imagine there was a drop in membership too. I wasn't here, so I haven't a clue exactly what transpired. Just some info I got during a PM conversation with one of the long-time moderators.lol what failWow, yikes.wow! so much spam! Another forum about to fall apart Wait... i think the site really did fall apart... Its not loading.... It was a couple days ago.....it really would suck to go to that forum. Quote Check out the battery charger for it mightn't be chargeing it fully, but if it STARTS then stops and restarts again u could have a faulty wire in the workings. sit down have a nice wine, scream at the ceiling then take it back to the supplier or trash it and buy a different brand. Never heard of shark brand, in oz. we have a Snake brand Electrics. Ciao 4 now an ANSWER to one someones post or a way to get people drunk?? I think he was trying to ask them out. "Say, babe, since you won't be vacuuming- just thought I'd let you know, My vacuum works fine and my carpet is dirty." That sucks!!... Get it? Vacuum Cleaner Forum, Sucks!!I agree with BC_Programmer. In addition to all that Vacuum Stuff, would it be nice if the folks asking CH Forum for help to use Bl**dy well the provided Spell Check facility before firing off their question and demanding answers SAP? Some people think that CH Forum is a kind off Free for All, using Bad Grammar, Bad Spelling, writing the word "I" in lowercase, or doing their writing all in uppercase. Some foreign languages do not have letters such as "l, P, R, E". But the writer(s) could at least have the politeness to re-read their question, and Spell Check. Unknowingly to them (I assume), they make a Farce out of CH Forum. If the "Subject" is not spelled co(w)rrectly, or in CAPITALS, I don't even bother to read it. This is maybe off-topic, but....just could not help to throw it in. And complaining about it is the other end of the spectrum <- Hopefully you have a sense of humor here. It's the Internet. Not life and death. If they use bad grammar or are over-needy then just don't reply. Simple as that.Are they for real. That site is just so backwards... It blows. CH in no way endorses that minors use the link to this site.
