GreenGiant 287 Posted September 16, 2021 It's getting overrun now and with seemingly no moderation or efforts to ban/remove offenders, I think the time has come to move to pastures new. Fun while it lasted though. Cheers all, it's been emotional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New posts are rare but then I guess we are all concentrating on our respective business's, recovery was always going to be more challenging than the Pandemic however, we do like a challenge in the motor trade don't we folks.

metcars 397 Posted September 18, 2021 The lack of moderation does seem to be the issue. Shame, because it was actually an interesting place, but now it’s become like the ‘wild west’. You’d think CDM would value a forum and encourage professionals? Weird? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the spammers are automated bots using software like Senuke or GSA Ser. Not easy to block unless you have two step authentication. I think if you go into your control panel for the forum and block users posting links, 99% of the Bots wont touch you again. They are only posting links to websites/products in the hope that Google will increase the pagerank of their product/webpage. Out dated thinking but lots of shabby websites still think its a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
