You know what Grinds my Gears?

(2)

People who join this site and leave a post that you can tell is clearly spam.

Recently I have been noticing alot of people leaving post asking for money, advertising sites, or asking the stupidest questions in the world. Sure, some of these are real people who need help but about a good 99 percent of them are people or bots just trying to get some advertisment space. It gets really annoying when you think, hey Im gonna help someone, and then bam its spam.

Man, I go out of my way trying to help people and then I come to find out it’s only a troll laughing his/her a** off at my expense.

Well, I am for real and I am desperately in need. I can provide proof from my rental office and electric bill and phone. I can even provide bank statements if i have to! I will lose my home and job if I don’t get help. I am not necessarily asking for money, but ways I can get out of this situation that I am in. I am a single mom, and for my son is why I am here. I don’t care about myself, I don’t want anything for me, all I want is to provide for my son.

If the first person that finds an advert/loan post would press the reg flag and leave the word ‘reported’ in the replies then we would all be saved a lot of bother and it would also mean that the mods dont get 367 reports of a loan advert - Mas Try and remember under no circustances edit any of those posts as the Mods cannot kill things you have edited - just report them

Evening Simone - by my reckoning the most annoying function on this site it the ‘report post’ one - even when you have reported it - it wants to show you what you have typed all over again. So yeah if someone reports it the word ‘reported’ - thats all would save us all the bother.

oh speaking of stupid questions… this literally happened to me in real life. I was at a gas station in a small town, and an elderly gentleman pulled up with him and his wife, they were pulling a beautiful camper trailer with thier truck. He pulled right up to a pump and asked me… ” Does this place have gas?” He was serious!

I know he meant if the pumps were full, but uh they had better be cus this gas station was the last one in about 30 miles!

I didn’t laugh, but talk about redundant. Sometimes you just have to shake your head because people do not realize that how they deliver a question makes them sound…so…
