I have no idea what is up. I submitted one over a week ago and I guess it just hasn't been approved. Everything in it is likely super stale now.
Have you reached out to editors? That's a drag...

That is a real shame. The spam on this place is wildly out of control and ultimately is a major turn off.
I haven't been paying a ton of attention to the spam. I definitely see it, but I pick and choose threads to look at (such as this one -- no spam here yet) and I usually don't get too turned off. Where are you seeing overwhelming amounts of spam? I guess it shouldn't be shocking that paying people LTBc to participate will bring in people who want to just get it with as little work as possible. Hopefully the new LTB forum system will help keep it at bay.
I have started turning off boards that appear to attract more spam posts to see if that can quell some of the noise but I can tell you that as a new user to join and see this much stuff to sort is EXTREMELY overwhelming and I suspect many aren't going to do so. They will just not come back.
I have been trying to read everything from the blog posts and looking at older threads and it seems like a core audience of people that were super active aren't as much so now and it seems they drop off as the spam gets out of control.
The one word, poor grammar posts are just a huge and massive turn off.
I'll filter some boards out and keep giving it a try. At least on bitcoin talk I don't see the same level of one word or three word posts repeated over and over and over.
