							| Just a suggestion for Victor. Can we make it impossible for people with zero points, i.e. have never made any contribution, to write on the forum? I have no idea if this is at all possible but I, for one, are fed up with spammers taking up such space with long, long pieces of bs that are inappropriate for this website. These spammers always seem to have zero points.  The question is why do they want to invade our site anyway? What on earth do they hope to achieve from this? We are an apolitical group, interested only in the sharing of English teaching information! I hope this venting of mine will help push them off the page. Let �s all add a new topic to push them off faster!!!!! |  6 Sep 2014

							| I truly believe that some zero points members might be legit and in need of help. What I would prefer is having the possibility of removing the post after a certain number of reports, just like we do when we report a printable. |  6 Sep 2014

							| Hello everyone! 
 I am not sure if this is true....but i you ever thought that the majority of spammers only "attack from Friday to Monday, because - and I am guessing here - Victor is away enjoying his weekend.  
 Just a thought really... Maybe does not correspond to reality. I don �t know.  
 Anyway, better later than never. ENJOY your WEEKEND fellows!
