I wonder what guests think of the experts forum, if all they can see is spam?

Within the first 25 threads 17 are spam.
The problem tolerating spam is that this invites more spam.
Don't want to handle it? Can't understand, but fine.
If only I could set "ignore this thread" that would be enough for me.

A good and interesting question!

I'm doing the best I can. Unfortunately the spam bots are doing a better job than I am.

It's a tough issue. I've been looking into better ways to stop the spam bots (and still allow players to sign up) but the bots are getting smarter every day.

I am working on it.

The first and foremost thing needed is to eliminate spam because it is one of the primary threats to the authenticity and the reliability of the platforms online. Spam may not only clutter discussions but also endanger participants, and this can bother not only the content of the dialogue itself but also the loyal relationships between people. Spam elimination acts as a critical tool in such cases as it enables platforms to revamp the audience’s user experience that makes it more social and trustworthy and therefore it helps to improve overall platform performance.
