  1. There is a classifieds section. It only pops up if there are ads.
  2. I created a Patreon page with the idea that members could support VENDiscuss, and at a certain level of support I would eliminate the ads. But no takers so far. I had to search to find out if I could reduce the number of ads, and I believe I found a way, and I hope they have been reduced. Let me know if it has improved on your end. I generally visit the site on my computer, and for some reason, the ads aren't as dramatic as on my phone.
  3. It might be because our site doesn't have access to Dropbox. Plus if it's your Dropbox account, we aren't logged into your account. At least that's my understanding. I could be off on my assumptions since I never tried to host images with Dropbox. There are image hosting sites. Unfortunately, I haven't used one in a couple of years. But I am sure a search for free image hosting should bring up something. This image is from my Facebook account. You could create a "page" in facebook that is treated as a business page, and just use it to host images.
  4. We do have a classifieds section where you can post items for sale
  5. Sorry for the delay in getting this thread up. A big thanks to cvending for donating again to keep VENDisucss up and running. And thanks to Charlie613 for also donating.
  6. Translated using Google Translate, though it seems off: Since I know English the best, and have little skill with other languages, could you use Google Translate or another translation program when posting? It helps with moderation. That's what I am doing here. Étant donné que je connais le mieux l'anglais et que j'ai peu de compétences dans d'autres langues, pourriez-vous utiliser Google Traduction ou un autre programme de traduction lors de la publication ? Cela aide à la modération. C'est ce que je fais ici.
  7. I am not sure how scammers would have information removed from here, though I do not allow people to post personal information about others, no matter who they are. I would hope you are helping people, but this post looks a little too clean to me, kind of like ad copy. My hope is that you aren't here just to drum up business, and get free advertising, which is why I am keeping you moderated for now. But I do hope you are helping people.
  8. I used Google Translate to translate from Dutch: Ik gebruikte Google Translate om uit het Nederlands te vertalen: Please use Google Translate for this since it will be hard to moderate in any language other than English. Gebruik hiervoor Google Translate, omdat het moeilijk zal zijn om te modereren in een andere taal dan het Engels.
  9. I approved it because it was vending-related, but he was put on managed posts, and I sent a message. He hasn't even looked at it and hasn't been back, so he's been flagged for spam and has been removed.
  10. Yes, this was an issue that was corrected. A mistake on my part. I apologize for the mistake.
  11. TheoCaper and HectorSettles were both on moderation. I let the posts go, but they were put on moderation, meaning every post had to be approved. HectorSettles just tried to post a link. They have been kicked off, and flagged as spam. There were also another 3 new user posts that attempted to post onto this thread. Apparently it's popular with the bots. From now on I will message the poster before approving their post, and if they do not respond, they will be kicked.
  12. When he posted this I put this guy on moderation so every post he made had to be approved. He just replied with an attack, then he posted a link to some franchise group, with a comment that the moderator had to approve the message or "would die". Maybe it was an attempt at a joke, but I figured all his posts were enough to show what we could expect from him, so he is banned, and flagged as a spammer.
  13. I assume the account was hacked. Probably a former member that isn't on anymore, and somebody, or more likely a bot, came across his information and posted here. The system requires a real email verification, and that cuts out a lot of the spam that uses fake email addresses. I also blocked a bunch of popular disposable email sites. Then they have to have their first post approved, and that is often obviously spam, or a generic response to get through that step. But if it's generic, I put all their posts on approval until they prove they aren't spamming the site. The ones that get through are reported quickly, and I get an email about it.
  14. caserri... you're alive. I believe I remember a Golpher Day. Guess I haven't kept up with the holidays. (And a few other things.) Good to hear from you.
