   Could anybody please put stricter moderation on the comments posted on the German GAOTD page? It's quite usual that from a no. of 8 comments, only one actually focuses on the offer, while the rest is a repetitive accusation of each other of being a troll, a spammer or whatsoever or insults on poor grammar ... I don't care for the reasons of all that, but as they are right now, the German comments are like a waste of space and resources.

   I don't mind switching to the English page to read decent feedback about the offers, but there might be others who are not that comfortable with it.

   Would be nice if you'd find a solution.

   I agree.
   I always liked switching to the German page to read the comments by (german)werwölfchen.
   He really doesn't deserve this..and I would advise him to post at the US page instead.

   (german)werwölfchen,don't let it get to you..and keep posting those guru comments!

   Btw
   The French page seems quite interesting (in a good sense).

   Robert - please don't bump old comments like this unless the problem has reoccurred. Mazz's comment is now a month old.

   If the problem is still occurring please say this in your post.

   Thanks,

   Hi BuBBy

   I only visit the German page because I understand the language,but cannot write German.
   And I do *like* the guru comments by (german)werwölfchen.

   Believe me ,it is getting *worse* lately.People are even posting with other peoples names.You really should take a look.

   PS I won't mind if you delete my comments on this matter.
   I like you too much for this. ;-)

   Robert thank you, that you have an eye on the German site. In the past I have several times mailed to the German "Editor" and to GODT, and BuBBy had interceded too. But all in vain.
   Today I'm really angry, because there is an racist commend (#42).
   I have send a PM to BuBBy and it would be nice, when you too would write to admin.

   Pinhead I don't know, if the "real" german Werwölfchen spams.
   Usually his commends are very useful.

   I have a strange feeling that "Baldrian"(today) and "Das-ist-wahr,Du Idiot" (yesterday) are the same person.

   Robert, there are more persons sailing under different names.
   All that sh*t they are writing is really annoying, but yesterdays racist comment was for much for me. I think after German law you could sue this.
   I wrote to the GOTD team, but got no answer until now, and that comment is still on the site.
   I think that is no good advertising for GOTD.

   Hi Gray-Babbs ;-) Inventing new nicknames for u is my new pastime !! HeeHeee

   Interesting to know there's trouble elsewhere too.
   I thought this was only going on on the French comments. Lack of courtesy, insults flying, badmouthing the SW, the site, ea. other.
   But a couple of weeks ago, there was sexual harassment too!
   Like u, I just had to intervene, even if it had nothing to do w me, I just happened by that day. Could not let these punks get away w it.
   Loooong story short, after translating the whole damn thing - which took me hours & stressed me out bad!!, I sent an angry eMail through MrB, explaining the gravity of the situation, the guy was pretending to be a moderator.
   Those offending posts disappeared, but their mod. is still MIA as usual.

   I'm just soooo glad we have our MrB!! Geee, it is *really* scary out there!!
   Humans do anger & disappoint me! That's why I "resigned".
