It's been over 3 days now since I reported this clown >>> @anon_anon for trolling multiple threads.... Still at it today I see.

As per my post above ^^^ maybe check your forums ounce in a while, or at least make it so that a person with some authority are notified when a report is lodged via the 'report' link you provide on every post.. Jeez!!

Exactly why I don't spend any time here anymore - the moderation is almost non-existent.
Classic example: buy edibles online Australia
Okay - lets get down to tik-taks here.

I posted the above on 2 November. It's now 13 November and those posts still exist. So let's get real...

The moderation on this site is not "almost" non-existent, it IS NON-EXISTENT. The owner relies solely on the forum's members to report problems and does absolutely no monitoring of content on their own.

THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ON ANY FORUM.

Not only that, the site owner ignores offers to help in this regard. I offered to help out a long time ago because I wasn't working, have several I.T. qualifications and had plenty of free time on my hands. My offer was totally free of charge and I got no reply.

It is now very clear to me that the sole purpose of this site is to drive business to it's "verified" members and absolutely nothing else - and as far as I'm concerned, they can stick that where the sun don't shine.

Being a public forum of this type and taking into account it's own "advertised" claims, the focus of this site should be:
1. To give all Australians and in particular, those who are financially disadvantaged, a place to obtain advice where they are likely to have to represent themselves; and
2. For those who are a bit better off, obtain advice on the type of legal service they need and maybe connect them with someone.

This site is now failing in both regards, for the simple reason that people aren't coming here anymore. And why? The answer is simple - look at what's going on and you clearly see how people would come here, read some posts and then disappear. The very essence of what this site should be, which is the QUALITY of the questions and answers provided, is telling people to go away because you won't get any meaningful help here. And this is happening despite the genuine efforts of the long standing members (and some newer ones) going out of their way to help total strangers.

One spam post is ALWAYS going to do a lot more damage that a hundred genuine posts will do good - and until this site's owner realizes that, this site is doomed to fail.

@lawanswers: Unless you want all your valuable members to leave - get off your f***ing fat arse and do something to convince us stay. PERIOD.

(I'm not an admin here, just so we are clear...)
Among other things, it is also not intended to be a place of therapy and venting
for every second angry man who has (in theor own mind)
had the pineapple from the Family Law system.

Further, I suspect that many of the lawyer contributors
are at (or very, very near) the end of their patience
with the nut jobs, tin foil hatters, spammers, agenda pushers, conspiracy theorists,
and the merely angry and elsewhere-unheard.
