I've never intentionally been critcal of this forum, is the best on the web. Yeah, probably shouldn't joke about some of the countries so much. I'm on one forum that its run real tight, like a university library, just the facts. It's pretty good for some things, but kind of cold, like a funeral home. I've followed links from Google searches into forums the appeared to be completely unmoderated, and pretty much useless, you are interested in piracy and pornography.
This forum is the best, because we are allow some freedom in posting thoughts and opinions, have a little fun in the process of learning. Threads aren't shut down on the first bad post, but after it gotten to be the focus, instead of the origional topic. Can't really think of any reason to complain.
The issues with spam and 'final projects'... What can you do? Spam is a bad problem to be force into dealing with, and its a shame it's not just for E-mail anymore. Final Projects... Who knows where that comes from. This kids are smart enough to get through 3 years of college, think they'll figure out how to still post these request. I don't think it's so much the request, but the presentation, so general an generic. A one line post really is a little rediculous coming from a college student, kind of an insult really. Think that's why it bothers most people.
This board is regulated just right, anybody that doesn't like it, probably doesn't belong here anyway.
