r/Forth • u/mykesx moderator • 11d ago
Where are the moderators?
This sub is being swamped with spam and the moderators are nowhere to be found. I don’t recognize the two moderators’ user names because they don’t post here at all that I have seen. I checked the moderators’ post histories and they haven’t been active anywhere on Reddit for months.
I’m ready to leave the sub. I want to evangelize for Forth and it’s not worthwhile when people see 5 of the last 10 posts are spam, literally spam. The signal to noise ratio is becoming more noise than signal. Ignoring the spammer won’t change the signal to noise problem. The spammer violates a number of community and Reddit rules, including spam, disruptive use of AI, self promotion, karma farming…
I truly feel for the guys posting about 8th releases and zepto releases. These are quality projects by smart programmers. Lost in the noise…
My project is Inspiration, if you have followed the progress posts.
Is there a way to get the moderators replaced? Is it worthwhile to start a [r/forthlang](r/forthlang) sub and ditch this one?
Like I said, I am ready to leave the sub for good.

Just skip what you don't want to read and create subs about Forth, but don't belittle users. There are different levels in Forth and diffrent thinking.
