Can someone please explain why posts like this—full of spam, lies, and trolling—aren't being deleted? I guess there's a reason, maybe...

I'm gonna reply to this thread again because even though I reported the post, the mods seem to be ignoring it.

EDIT: And this trolling post hasn't been taken down either:

Posts like this one (where this user just keeps posting "updates") never seem to get taken down, even though they're basically just full of lies, trolling, spam, and provocations meant to trigger the same old arguments. I guess I'm wondering if the mods could explain why this is allowed?

Everything silverdrifter24 and I wrote is still true.

You even said yourself that both sides are causing issues on the thread.

It’s not really about being objective or not.

Everyone is just provoking, spamming, and calling each other clones...

Regarding the Anastasija thread, I was there and I gave you and him a warning because you guys were really overdoing it that day and dragging discussions into other topics.

The same goes for the Jelena Rozga thread. We deleted posts that had nothing to do with the actual discussion, though we didn't delete everything. We handle the Madonna thread the same way.

Sometimes we can't get to every single report or delete everything immediately, but we do keep an eye on the threads.

So, I wouldn't worry too much about the objectivity part.

A couple of years ago, things were way worse on Jelena's thread.

There was way more trolling, spamming, and provocation back then than there is now.

If things calmed down then, they'll calm down here too.

Don't act like you're some expert.
I'm still seeing troll posts from the Volume crowd....

The debate on the Rozga thread was actually pretty reasoned, and since we expressed legitimate doubts, those posts were deleted—yet the Volume fans and others are still posting, and there are several where they just repeat the same thing...

I'll say it again: if everyone got an infraction for every troll post, they'd all be banned by now... I guess I'll start keeping count.

Since you guys can't keep up, why not let someone moderate who's actually around often and knows the whole situation? Some of us are, thank God, active and fair.

People keep claiming we want this thread to be like a pop star fan club, but nobody ever actually said that. If you followed along, you'd see we've criticized stuff plenty of times.

Also, don't try to link me to any trolling on the Rozga thread from two years ago, because I've only been on this forum for about a year and a half.

So many lies...

Some users, like Volume3D or Petter Griffin, tend to slip in a few lies in almost every post where they actually tell the truth. It’s stuff we’ve debated a million times already, which basically means they’re just trolling and spamming. Then you get people like Sevda or fatamorgana starting these fights that turn into personal attacks, and suddenly everyone is insulting each other and the actual topic is completely lost. On top of all that, you occasionally get those troll posts from HIV Positive... And honestly, people here get accused of being bots all the time.

Basically: even when a post looks true at first glance, there are lies woven in, patterns repeat, people get insulted, and the whole thread gets trashed...

Volume and Petter have pretty much admitted to trolling on a few occasions, both directly and indirectly.

I might have misspelled a couple of names, but I think you guys know who I mean.

If they got infractions for every single troll post, they probably would've been banned by now. Not long ago, I made a post on the Anastasija Raznatovic thread that wasn't really on topic, so I got an infraction and my post was deleted. But if I recall, Petter? replied to that same post, and his reply was off-topic too. When I checked back a few hours after getting penalized, his post was still sitting there. This kind of thing happens all the time...

And don't even get me started on how fast they deleted the posts where a few of us expressed doubt about whether Rozga rigged her win for best dressed in America—even though we laid out our arguments clearly without being rude. Meanwhile, when Volume writes that Madonna is buying views... he says it over and over again (which is why the same arguments keep looping), and nothing ever happens to him.

Some of this might sound a bit silly, but I’m just looking for some objectivity.

Regarding the idea that people only want to post praise here—look, we’ve criticized things plenty of times, and I don't mind if anyone else does, too. It just bothers me when those criticisms are used to sneak in the lies I mentioned earlier.

That’s just one part of it... I guess we still have to deal with everything else.

On this specific subforum (specifically the Madonna pop star topic vol.4.), people are constantly breaking the rules. It’s just non-stop spamming, trolling, insults, fighting, off-topic nonsense, and people attacking other users instead of actually talking about the artist... I guess the moderators aren't really stepping in enough, so it's getting kind of awkward to even read or join certain threads.
I'm suggesting that maybe they give me or someone else a moderator role over there just to get things back under control.
