The other day while on my so-called smart phone, I noticed that a person from the WordPress Warriors Group noticed something going on with this group for a while and had something to say about it. The screen capture below.
His posting, in a nutshell, “Is this group completely unmoderated or something? I’m close to removing myself from it because of all the non-WP related posts. Makeup tutorials, sexy photo pix, etc. This isn’t what I joined the group to see.” November 7 at 1:30 pm.
So, I searched through some of the postings, I saw some of mine, one or two from Danny’s Dream Big Dream Often and I even came across PorterGirl.
Then I found what this Robert was referring to and it was not a WordPress related post or WordPress Blog for that matter. This material is only for 18 or older!
There were others to be found that lead back to porn sites and the like. But that is not the only pattern I had seen, what I saw was that people posting their hard work to get noticed are not getting any likes, mentions or shared. They just sit there rotting like a corpse!
What started out to be good in nature, help WordPress Bloggers in hopes of getting noticed has turned into a dumpsite for peoples’ trash.
I often think about creating a Group of my own on FaceBook, but then I have to really think about the direction and the time that would need to be committed to such a thing.
Is anyone reporting the posts though

Some have but aut it’s like the creators of that group are asleep at the helm.

I have not personally seen any of the trash. Sorry advertisers; I hardly every even notice the ads with my tunnel vision for the written word. I think it would be very difficult to avoid it in any group on the web. The creeps are everywhere.

I hate it when insensitive people hijack people’s post and use it for their useless posts. Why don’t they start their own group? It is so annoying..

A site like that should simply be reported and shut down. Enough said. Suzanne j

Hmm maybe I need to take a different approach to how I post on WordPress Warriors? 😉 Seriously, though – this is such a shame. It’s easy enough to find porn online, sites like this don’t need to be hijacked.

Your right it is a shame. and these days all you have to do is type porn in and it’s your face. There are those I am afraid to say that will turn a good thing into a useless pile of rubbish!
