This site is in dire need of moderators as the amount of spam on this site is beyond ridiculous. Spammers are listed as Jr. Members vs. banned, junk posts litter the forums and dilute search results. The "blogs" are filled with spam accounts and posts without being addressed:

http://www.autocareforum.com/blog.php

I'm the admin of a fairly large forum so this is a battle I know all to well.

They moderate and delete spam daily. It's never there for more than a few hours. I'm sure they block accounts and IP addresses and it's still getting through.

I'm sorry for the amount of spam we get on the board - we do as well as we can deleting it while banning the IP addresses asap. As an admin of a forum yourself, you probably know how sophisticated their methods are becoming. If you have any constructive suggestions, please send them to me in a pm. Thanks.

So a guy who only posted once, 6 years ago, is complaining about the amount of spam?? Would that count as spam itself, lol ?
Sorry if I misinterpreted, but that struck me as ironically funny.

Well I feel like an idiot. I'm a moderator and I can't even find the blogs myself without clicking on the OP's link. Where are they??? Are they on the menu, home page, or do I have to crawl through a tunnel to find them?

I delete spam posts daily and feel like King Kong when I get one as soon as it is posted.

The blog feature was supposed to have been deleted - I'm in the process of deleting the spam off there and getting it turned off. I appreciate the OP bringing it to my attention. Hopefully, things will improve.

I noticed when I used the search engine on this site to look something up.
There was all kinds of spam.
Noticed today there was not any spam.
