Open letter to The Nest

Honestly, by this point I'm less annoyed with the spam users, and more annoyed with your lack of action in preventing this.

Yes, the spam posts are very irritating, but honestly, they're not going to stop just because you swarm the boards with mods asking them nicely. They're probably bots in the first place, and they're probably earning revenues just by boosting the traffic on the site through the accidental click-throughs. There's no reason for them to stop.

It's not that much work to fix this problem on your side. A few regular expressions to process the post input should do it. It's not that complicated. I think it's about time you start restricting what kind of code someone can insert into a post.

  • Well I don't know what kind of IT people they have but they are worthless. The search fonction has never worked, currently you can't change the location from your profile and you know when they are coming up with something new because the boards crash. Worst IT ever.

  • Yes...I really think I could take a couple IT classes and do a better job managing this site than the current situation. Seems to me one of the main issues is that the message boards are not a priority. They update other cintent and features on the site semi regularly but with the boards they can't be bothered. Of course we still use them so maybe we should be voting with our feet/clicks and going elsewhere?

    the gender reveal thread is spammed now, too.  Super annoying...
