Reporting a Bad Forum I found

Postby Hot Pizza » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:20 pm

Hi there _ My name is Diogo and I want to report a forum which i used to post after it turned upside down in a whole mess

the link is right this

Edited>Jim_UK

it happens that they edited the registration html to " I am under 13 and accept the rules" and now its full of underaged persons

Well since im banned now - you hae to watch with your own eyes
Edited>Jim_UK - this is an example of a really SPAM thread that made me realize how bad they treat the members.

That thread was a poll to choose an admin for the forum ( incredible - using a poll to choose someone that will have the power to brake that forum. if a bad poster wins the poll he can even delete permanently the forum.)

In my opinion a Admin should be someone grown up, wise, helpfull and that respect other opinions.

In that forum anyone respect anyone - evryone care for himself or herself and even insult the wise posters.

That forum has underaged people that actually moderate the forum (Oingo and others)

I got insulted by all posters and even gave me a bad rank just for saying that a moderaotr was underaged (probably that mod banned me as well)

I have to ask myself

Isnt there anything that phpbb comunity can do like delete this kind of forums i mean - it happned to me today but tomorrow it can happen to someone that is trying to give good advices for the best of the forum and consequently the best for Phpbb community.

Banning people like this way, threating posters really bad, and even let underaged people become admins of the forum is something that makes me passed out.

I dont know how to report thats why i posted this - Hopeffuly i hope a decnet Admin can read this post - go take a look at that forum and do something about it.


Thank Sincerelly

phpbb.com has nothing to do with any board but this one.

the software is free, and anyone can use it and do whatever they want with it.

if you don't like a board, don't go there. it is as simple as that.

luck,
robert

Also, if I remember correctly you only need the age requirement if the server is in the United States. That forum and the server it is on may not be American.

(Of course even if it is American, as has been said there is nothing phpbb.com can do about it.)

We are no more responsible for how the software is used than Ford are for drunk drivers injuring pedestrians and other road users.
