Sick of this ****. You know what makes this bad? Legitimate new members come here to introduce themselves and they get ignored because the membership is so jaded from spammers. Then they think we are just an unfriendly bunch and figure why should they stay here.
I hear you. We both had the same initial reaction. First post is too vague, and with ALL of the spamming going on, it's disconcerting. Like the one last week about the essay papers, they even had a new account shilling for them.
I'd love to know how much the membership has grown over the last year - I expect it's massive, well beyond what would normally be expected. The majority of it ****ing spammers.
