Hello Gents and Ladies, I'm a member of semi-active discussion board, but existing admins (creators) are absent for years or unwilling to even clean up the spam, whilst there are plenty of active people, that would willingly clean up board. As it is, membership is in decline and is tether away from becoming abandoned by the rest of the users. mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/thread/1475/forum-admins-resilliency?page=2#post-24468Would somebody, please change one or few members status in to admin please? Thanks in advance! [ Edit] in order to "transfer administration"... That isn't necessary, just adding one or few of us (be it with "lesser powers)- moderators", would be sufficient. As per last post at 14:00 GMT mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/user/951

Just to clarify Myself mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/user/951mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/user/670mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/user/1216And mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/user/319We all volunteer to clean up and maintain board free of spammers. If by some or any chance, our new "administrating" powers wouldn't include: A-Need to ban few registered members (spammers)- let me know- I'll compile the list of. B- Need to disable TapaTalk plug in completely. C- Need to disable not admin (moderator) approved membership (automatic) validation. D- Posting on all, but site feedback board for non registered members (guests) need be disabled. Please note, the board isn't some technological or trendy fashion discussion board, it's few hard physically working craftsmen, that gather to discuss particular and non management causes such members to leave the board for good. Really thankful for your assistance in advance, Alvy

alvychppy, you do have an active administrator on the forum, who even as of the 3 days ago has removed some of the spam. I would recommend you reach out to this member (I've PM'd you their username) and discuss your concerns. Perhaps they are unaware of the amount of spam, or are not familiar with the administrative tools available to them. Let them know they can always reach out to us for assistance if needed.

Thanks cott, I (we) are aware of him coming to the site occasionally... unfortunately, he doesn't respond to PM's or cleans forum... Could be down to be unaware, but more than likely not having no interest AKA "burnout" or apathetic. Even at a thread discussed, that he has been tagged - he never responded to. The spam posts and spamming members were reported via report and indeed, even he had logged in, he didn't delete them. ANW, I presume, your opinion on the issue is such, hence nothing is going to happen, I'm hopeful, you'll keep the thread here open and given few more days (lets say 2?) I'll be coming back for your assistance "in case" he isn't coming to sort the board spammers out.... Be it a "jab" at a his pride as a tradesman, but as a site administrator he hasn't been useful for the last year or so, what members keep on complaining and noticeably coming to contribute less and less... IE last post on a page 2 mafell-users-forum.freeforums.net/thread/1475/forum-admins-resilliency?page=2&scrollTo=24468Nov 22, 2020 21:24:03 GMT holmz said: aas Avatar Nov 21, 2020 19:42:11 GMT aas said: Maybe our only admin left isn't getting the notifications from reported posts / spam. I sent him a PM a week ago and another admin a PM, nothing... we need another admin or two IMO. "

Hello again, I presume, you guys cleaned the board up a tad. Attempts were made to get in contact with another original admin, but to no avail and spamming is back. One more small favour to ask would be to disable non registered or "guest" posting all together, especially on General section or... One or few, long standing members to be granted moderators or admin rights please. Thanks!

Attempts were made to get in contact with another original admin, but to no avail and spamming is back. alvychppy, if you haven't done so already, I strongly recommend using the Report Post feature which can be accessed by clicking the Post Options icon on the right-hand side of the post. This will give any Administrator who happens to log on, the ability to quickly identify problem posts. Also, if it is necessary for one of the ProBoards Admins to prune the spam posts, they won't need to scour the forum to find them. They can simply go to the Reported Posts section of the Admin panel.

Actually, per the board rules, you should have created a new thread. One reason, this thread is a year old. The second reason, this is a different issue than what this thread's topic is for. The issue is being worked on. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please watch the sticky thread for updates. Thank you for your patience.
