Just wondered cos we had a flick through them last night and the amount of blatantly 'pro' pictures added with one liner questions like " where are the dogging sites in my area" is growing daily .
Fair comment Sarge . Cheers for your usual prompt service xxx Any chance of a pepprni pizza ? :shock:
hehehehe I got the impression the poor souls Moderating SH these days had alot in common with mushrooms Sarge mate ;-)
I have a question.... last evening while getting to grips with placing a ad of sorts and generally mucking about with all the new toys etc, I mused that as this is becoming a pay site in future then would people be less inclined to put crap ads in ? I also reported an "ad " for viagra ! what is it with this stuff ! You can get it Free on the NHS !!!!
I don't know if it would be tech. possible but y know you can set your browser or buy stuff to filter offensive things while searching the net etc, so then could not a short program be run from the website when uploading ads that would detect key words eg viagra, buy, pay, business etc etc and not allow those ads to be posted ?
We are all probably as much to blame! I know that I have seem some ads which have broke the AUP but I then think that they are only slightly bending it rather than a full blown break and we know the Mods are having a tough time of it at the moment and I dont want to make more work for them!
When I have seen a couple of the dogging ads where people have been advertising and naming sites, I have sent a message to the person and all but one of them have then changed their ads. But the ones which are clearly breaking the AUP, I will report.
Just a question, but what is the ruling for the ads which have 'disguised' their email address in the wording, should these be reported?
while I must agree that picture uploads need to be "seen " to be complained about , it is the text and obvious dishonesty that annoys me. I am sure that a simple modification to the SW website program as I outlined would remove a percentage of false ads and also maybe make the task of moderating a lot easier . I also note that there is allways a risk in reply to ANY ad even if it seems on the level, you could find that the placer has some hidden agenda or other which will only come to light when a complaint is re'cd. There will allways be chancers in any form of "personal contact" and when you really think about it, even as a man, I do not fancy going to some layby in the middle of nowhere to meet some stranger whom I have never met without some sort of backup !
