This site is, as our American cousins say, going to hell in a handbasket lately.
And notably through endless spam postings by repeat offender spammers whose ID’s and IP addresses cannot be banned by the mods who do ALL the work in managing the forum for the benefit of the members and, ultimately, the site owner who apparently couldn’t give a fishy fuck about the mods’ considerable daily efforts which preserve the site for the site owner’s benefit.
The site owner is entirely unreasonable towards, and disgracefully exploitative and utterly contemptuous of, the volunteer mods in expecting them to continue to spend a ridiculous amount of their unpaid time to delete the endless spam posts which are flooding the board while steadfastly refusing to give them the power to ban painfully obvious spammers.
If the site owner can’t be fucked taking steps to protect his investment, I’m fucked if I can see why the mods should waste their valuable time trying to do a King Canute (the various spellings of which include Cnut, which is a simple internal vowel and consonant transposition away from the way the site owner is behaving towards both the mods and members of the site) holding back the waves.
Site owner, here’s a basic rule of military and every other form of effective management: Do not confer responsibility without equivalent authority.
The mods are undoubtedly capable of preserving the site if, as Churchill said to Roosevelt when seeking American help in WWII, “Give us the tools and we will finish the job.”
If the site owner doesn’t give the mods the tools to do their job, the spammers and fuckwits will finish the site, as they have many others, while the site owner sits, Cnut like, on his throne futilely commanding the waves to retreat. Assuming he even gives a fuck about the waves swamping his site.
