I am really sick of the spam on this site. Come on guys.

Jet, just what is it you think we can do, ask them to just stop?

I spend 45 minutes or more a day just banning users as do the other moderators on here. Trust me, you CANNOT be more sick of it than we are

Until the administrator updates the security patches, this is the best we can do

How hard would it be to put in one of those fuzzy words that don't make any sense that you have to type before you can register (not sure what the technical term is, I have had to use those on other sites). They say you have to do that so they know you are a real person instead of just a spammer or something.

Not sure. I just dont need and uggs. Lol

Fixing the problem is not hard, but there is one and only one person that can do it -- and it's none of us ...

The administrator has to install the latest patches for security, and then turn on stuff that stops the spambots -- these are all programs that are
invading and slamming us.

Trust me -- if any of the moderators (we're all just volunteer boat owners that want a clean site as much as you do) could set this stuff up, it
would have been done MONTHS ago.

What if these Uggs had shadow caster lights on them though Jet?:D

Seems to be getting worse

Seems to be getting worseThat might be an understatement. I would say that 95% of my time on the forum is spent nuking spammers from the forum. Though part of that might be due in part to it being almost finals week for me and I get distracted easily on the forums here with all the awesome pics we have been posting...:D

You could make me a mod. :D :D



I can just hear a few mods fainting right now. HA HA HA HA HA

I can honestly say that the frequency of the spam and the lack of caring from Supra to bother doing something about it has made me cut my visits by a very significant amount. I'm willing to bet if you look at the forums stats (do mods have access) you'll probably find that I'm not alone.

I find it incredibly disrespectful that Supra knows about the issue and has done sweet F all. We're what make this forum tick, we add the content, we make the contributions and they get the benefit from it. i guess that's asking far too much considering no one from Supra even bothers to post here or answer questions even though that would make A LOT of sense from a marketing and customer service standpoint.

Making our own Supra owners forum sounds more enticing by the day.

Step up Supra

Hey all, the main admin for the site doesn't work directly for supra, it's a third party and this isn't his
Main job. I agree he should fix it, but I don't know what his agreement with skiers choice is for stuff like this.

While I understand that, and I have seen that before, if he can't maintain it then maybe he should pass the torch to someone who can. I don't take on responsibilities of a job, and not do it. Whether I'm getting paid or not.

My general take on this is SC doesn't give a rat's ass. We are what make this forum run, we are the ones who keep the brand loyalty strong, and the recognition of keeping Supra a very prominent name. Their marketing dept is apparently not handling things well, no gear, no ability to brand the product as an owner, and no desire to at least communicate with it's loyal followers. I have sent dozens, and that's not an exaggeration, of emails to Supra and their marketing team with ZERO response. I've even just sent emails to people to see if they even are getting them. NADA.

This forum is full of information, loyalty, and friendship. As a potential new Supra owner, seeing this kind of loyalty and camaraderie would make me excited to know there are experienced owners, fabricators, loyalists, and fellow owners there that could help me with simple tasks and questions. But my guess is Supra sees most of us as old die-hards, who won't be buying a new 242 anytime soon, so why worry about us.

It's sad, but it looks like we're headed towards that same shut-down we had years ago. I signed up in 2006, and there was ZERO activity, nothing but spam and crap. I didn't come back for years. Happily in the last two years, many of us have strived to keep content coming and fresh. To update builds, to answer questions for new owners, etc. But as we all get tired of the endless junk, we will be headed towards that point again where the spammers outweigh the users.

If I were Supra, that would make me very concerned to know my only public outlet for Supra owners is about to go back to being garbage. But hey what do I know, I'm only in Marketing for a living.

Personally I think the admins are doing a good job getting rid of them as quick as they do. I haven't been frequenting quite as often lately, but it is the off season so it isn't always my top priority right now. Hopefully they will make it a little more difficult to register soon, and that will take care of the problem. And once it gets warm enough to get the boats out, we all will still be visiting the forum.

The admins are doing a good job? They aren't doing a thing...the mods on the other hand are doing fantastic, but that's not what we're talking about here.
