A lot of Spam lately…

Me too,

I mentioned this several times to OMNIS Co. , but ist seems that they or their WordPress provider/development team does not take this serious?! May be this is one more reason for less traffic / activity here.😒

team does not take this serious…

I have always wondered why not Omnis Inc not show how Omnis can be used “in production” for web development and forum development. That should both be an evidence that it work in real life, rather than small examples at almost “hello world” level.

Omnis web site is IMO another example of they do not care. According to pagespeed.web.dev

Showing results for URL: https://www.omnis.net/ Core Web Vitals Assessment: Failed

And it lacks of many other navigation issues IMO. Show me what Omnis can do!

Hi Mats,

Yes, your are right, the Omnis site in general does mark the forefront of modern web technology and design, but I think most of the time, it does its job quite ok. It is mainly the Forum that is giving me pain!

And I would not really consider using Omnis to build a web SITE – there are better tools for that, and Omnis is better in other aspects of creating web apps.

Dear $Forum,

Yes, it’s a pain! While I’m trying to have a quiet sunday nap, my phone keeps on pinging for some spammer the Forum software/ admin does not care to prevent from spamming. Causing the admin the work of removing this trash & the spammer from the forum, and causing all forum users who cared to subscribe to new entries to clear their mailboxes, too.

I had a look at the members section: from April 2025 until now, there have only been 4 new ‘real’ members, and only one made a posting.

Wouldn’t it have been more efficient – and less frustrating for the other subscribed users – if an admin had checked the first posting of a new user and set this user on ‘pass – can write postings’ as opposed to ‘pass any spam’ and remove it later?

Of course, we can go back to the email list server and communicate hidden from the public like freemasons, but I had understood that Omnis would like to attract new developers – and this is unlikely to happen if the greatest part of the community operates under cover…

But if Omnis does not succeed in making this Forum a bit more up-to-date and functional, the list users will have absolutely no reason to post their absolutely valuable content here.

Have a nice sunday!

Regards

Uwe

A web site is close to a web app. So why not do like Rust. Their site is made using Rust. A web site is the soul of the company. The better maintained site, the more trustworthy IMO.

Omnis.net does not even pass the basics of pagespeed.web.dev. So do they use “better tools” today?
