morderators should be morderating the sourcers rather than post.

A 'morderator' sounds more like a post killer, than a person who keeps posts within reasonable limits...

What are you talking about? Moderator sounds like a post killer? I wish you luck in this forum.

Moderators are doing great job cleaning garbage on this forum. They act very fast and I am happy to see that reported posts are deleted very fast and all reports are taken seriously.

Lately, I read about a member who reported more as 150 posts in only one day in one topic. This shows the scale of spam moderators have to handle on daily basis. I think this is great that spam is deleted because the quality of reading is better. Together with "ignore" button works like a magic.

A lot of members thinks it's enough to write a long post with the right number of characters so that it's not deleted by moderators as spam and some even think that it's enough to get a merit. This is certainly not enough, long posts but not on the subject or not adding nothing to the discussion are also spam.

I thought at the beginning similarly but after a few of my long posts were removed I started to wonder what I'm doing wrong. I realized that despite the fact that my posts are long and grammatically correct, they don't bring anything new to the discussion but are just an insight or opinion like many others before.

I also have a problem to get any merit but I try not to give up only to develop. Merit system has greatly influenced the quality of my posts because I started to pay attention to correct spelling and grammar. For which I'm very grateful because I have always had problems with it because English isn't my mother language.
