I have noticed lately in particular since the updated/relaunch of dad talk lots of SPAM/tooting for business have been frequently appearing on the forum?
I question should this be allowed on a forum with such sensitive topics such as parents seeking help to gain access to their absent child/ren?
Thank You
It's really getting on my tits, it makes a mockery of the whole site and it seems to be have got worse since the site was redesigned, it's defo not what you want to see if you're a new comer looking for advice doesn't look very professional at all and it would scare me off.
Agree - it's so annoying having to plough through the spam to see the genuine posts.....I can imagine someone coming here for the first time would be put off by it too....
I miss the old site, it was so much more welcoming and friendly, this new one seems so generic harsh and unwelcoming, it does put me off logging on as often for sure, I've found myself moving over to other dad sites, I've shown the new site to a few friends and family members who say they don't like it too. 🙁
