I no longer recognize this place. It's like going away on vacation and when you get back your hometown turned in a crime-ridden slum taken over by Chinese spammers.

This site is eroding just like the current economy!

The odd spam or the odd troll is bound to happen, no site if bullet-proof. Hell, sometimes it can even be fun, if there's a PSB involved. But really, the PC and PV are just a magnet for this shit now.

QBN probably gets targeted because of the high pagerank. People think that if they get a link from here it will help their Google rankings.
There are very few Pagerank 6 sites that allow you to post directly on the front page.
- So, what it basically comes down to, is a simple 'noindex, nofollow' meta tag would solve the whole problem. Nice.Continuity
- Not really. Links are already nofollow. Noindex would cause Google not to index the site at all, probably not a good idea.ukit
- Between the spam and the ffffound invite trolls, I'd say noindex is an _excellent_ idea!Continuity
- nah. the filter is so shite.dMullins
- Bad idea. Filter is indeed shiteset
- mydo0
if we don't allow google to index the site, then we'd need to use filter to find anything. that's almost worse.

OK, i have an amazing idea.
For all the hundreds of people that come here everyday, whom most days post nothing, just view the PotD, CotD or tgat! just have a bitch at some spammers, LOL at a few comments etc.Each day, post a couple of considered or creative things.
This would return balance to the ship no?

@ mydo: I would feel more encouraged to post "considered or creative things" if they would actually be noticed or answered seriously. instead, the "which-toiletpaper-do-you-use"-t... gets hundreds of replies. Which is ok, I get some laughs out of it.
- to be fair there are some decent and useful design related threadsset

- My design related threads go wholly unnoticed. I gave up.monospaced

we look to you ukit as a guiding light in this dark and lonely path.. when you disappear, we stray far from the path.

Well damn, my first post rather than being a constructive contribution wound up looking more like a troll post, coming out of the frustration from seeing some spammer literally filling up half the feed with attempts to sell shoes! Arghhh!!! If anyone moderating, or an administrator could delete my post, I would appreciate it, and I will exercise restraint before I broadcast. Cheers to all of you that make this site what it is at the core, a great place to learn and discuss interesting topics. :)
