Hello,
The system in place to prevent spam is highly ineffective. I urge Kiel to change it to a registration / moderation based system. Note how the number of useful posts has dropped. There are no longer open and meaningful discussions here. What a shame...!
Useful for what? The spam, while annoying, can be ignored, but unless you improve educational/teaching habits you're going to get a lot of lazy individuals using the internet to provide them with answers rather than solved them themselves.
Like trees falling in the forest when no one is there, in the past we didn't hear them and they failed silently, we can now hear them because they wield a lot of power without the skill to use it.
Fixing this is difficult, in much the same way you don't get to pick your neighbours. So you either need to participate in the forum as you find it, or find one that offers the "community" you desire.
