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
