I'm guilty of complaining about spam here myself, but the fact remains that of all the iPhone forums I visit regularly, TiPB seems to get hit the worst. So really I'm just curious--why does it seem so much more frequent here, rather than at modmyi, or macrumors, for instance? Is it just that they have more people on the job, or is it possible they have better measures set up to prevent spam from reaching the boards in the first place? Maybe a better comparison is to something like Gmail--obviously they're not relying on actual workers to mark every piece of spam, yet I almost never get spam in my inbox.
I'm sorry if you guys feel like we're unappreciative, but when other forums seem to filter spammers with much greater success we have to ask what more can be done, and whether or not the right tools are being used to make the forums the best they can be.
Here's to hoping TiPB can remain a lively, fun source of information and discussion!
