What Happened to HomeRefurbers.com?

I found a project over there that helped me. When I entered my reply I realized the OP would never see it because some idiots had posted reams of spam commentary. Is there no way to delete their memberships to make the forum useful?

weve had those same issues here many times,cricket gives em the boot when she gets alerted.theve made it harder to sign up here but they still find ways.best thing as soon as you see spam flag it and cricket will get on it.

I went back over there and and I see no flag capability. Every project I looked at is old and has much spam.

ive only gone on a couple times over the years but i just took a look and your right,no flag button.your right the spam is bad,i went on one project and the spam was a mile long.apparently that site is on it's own.
I believe it is a separate site and not managed like here. Next time someone runs their little butt hurt computer fingers and bad mouths Cricket just go over to that site or the gardening one and realize how good we have it. It's a shame too cause that could have been a real nice site.
The number one poster over there is a spammer. Cricket allegedly manages that site, but as mentioned, there is no capability to flag spam posts. Maybe Upscale Media is using that site as a Dump pile of Troll/Spammer Posts? Smart money is to just pull the plug, though I suspect that the management is making money, so maybe my suggestion isn't so smart, after all. The gardening site was surrendered ages ago, btw.
yeah from my understanding cricket moderates that site also.so if you see spam you gotta notify her directly.im surprised there is no easy way to flag it.id say it's making money because they do little or no maintenance.
Well let's count our blessings that we have this forum. It's always a treat to drop in and take a peek at all the wonderful projects that are on display.
