Sport shoe spam posted on all folders that sits there for days without being removed. Repeatedly. Yet another complaint about WTR connected apartment rentals gone unanswered.....for weeks. Is anybody in charge of this website anymore?

And unfortunately, the web interface only lets me see the most recent few posts (no, I don't use RSS and don't want to). So when 10 or 12 spams come in, I can't even see the real posts. If whoever administers this site is unable to add some anti-spam measures (we can suggest many, if you are interested), and doesn't log in often enough to keep the site clean... Won't you please give 2 or 3 people like me (who check the site multiple times each day) the authority to delete spam messages, or at least to transfer them to a new "spam" category? If the administration of this site doesn't change, I will give up on it.
