Bloggerforum is in a Halt Due to Spam!
The webmaster of Bloggerforum has suspended any new posting for the time being. But why? Because of overwhelming spam! It’s odd for a popular forum in blogosphere. But I have to say I am not that much surprised. I have been a member of the forum since 2006 & have seen it become one of the most spam-prone forums.
It was never that strict at all. Users could easily take advantage of it by posting their own links as they wish. But the most annoying ones are the irrelevant spams like hosting, shoes or gadgets advertising. Recently I post a thread asking what was going on. The webmaster replied that it was not easy preventing spam & we only see tiny portion of hundreds of spammy threads that the moderators delete regularly. But I have to say there was something lacking otherwise it shouldn’t have been so vulnerable to spam.
Now it seems they have become so annoyed that one moderator has left. And Steve, the webmaster of the forum is now rethinking about the whole purpose of the forum. Here is the link to the last post by Steve that says all.
Good luck to Steve! I hope when it open again fully it would be a hard nut to crack by spammers.
