Yes ads are paid for and quite agree that people should not be allowed to get away with posting free ads, if it can be helped. But James does a pretty good job at spotting them and I along with others hopefully help by pressing the report to moderator when I see this blatantly happening. No doubt James would spot them eventually but by reporting it will help him spot and remove them quicker

I will say I've found the site very reliable over the years and tend to be able to view too much hyperbole with a reasonable level of cynicism (though I may be too enthusiastic with some of my recommendations)!

It is interesting that someone thinks of this as anything other than a community group – indeed as some puppet of local businesses. The way we solve those issues is by raising them rather than moaning that there’s an unspecified problem that some editing team who comb every entry for verisimilitude should have spotted.

I didn't see any post by you last night - it wasn't removed on purpose, so I can only guess that because your post coincided with the closure of the thread, the forum software couldn't cope with an attempt to add a new message to a closed thread and your message disappeared into the ether. The situation doesn't arise very often so I'm not sure if there's an error message that is displayed when that happens.

Please either reply here or [url=http://www.london-se1.co.uk/contact/]contact me[/url] with details of what/who you think is wrong, and I'll look at it.

What are the "amazing questions" to which you refer?

I think you're being a bit dramatic in saying the forum is "completely unreliable" - it's neither reliable nor unreliable - it's as good as the people who take the time to participate. Yes, of course you have to apply your critical faculties to any recommendation, but the same goes with all sorts of things in life.

I am grateful to those who regularly report messages they think are dodgy - I always follow up reported posts, and if there is evidence of foul play I will name and shame (and/or just delete the post if it's plain spam).

However, if there's no evidence of foul play, then I won't comment publicly or cast aspersions.

There's nothing worse than a genuine first-time poster signing up to the forum to recommend a local shop or whatever and being greeted with a barrage of cynicism that puts them off ever commenting again.]]> Feedback http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/3/142994/143006#msg-143006 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:48:23 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/3/142994/143004#msg-143004 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Tolstoy) Feedback http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/3/142994/143004#msg-143004 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:24:37 +0000
