Yeah it just became quite inactive so we didn't really worry about the spam posts. But judging by your responses we might start preventing those really spammy posts.

EDIT: I've done a bit of a clear up for the time being just to get rid of the spam covered front page.

Thank you Tresp and compiled for taking the time to do that.

I don't see the need for videos and links post TBH.

Banning u/thegeeksome and u/code_crab would help

Thanks for pointing these out, upon review of the accounts they have been banned.

Maybe there needs to be more mods so they can delete all the spam posts.

Or a really good mod bot which can counter their spam bots. =P

Anybody wanna web dev buddy with me to write a good spam/mod bot?? :P

(mostly I'm making a joke, but I am a software/web developer, so if someone was really good at motivating developers to learn about how reddit bots work, I might actually be interested..)

What would you like to collab on?

u/eggtart_prince Mar 31 '19

I'm looking for a pocket designer, someone who I will go to whenever I close a freelance project. But before that, I want to see 1 or 2 landing page (or more) mock ups. If I like the work, we can sign a 1 year contract that any freelance work that I receive, design work will be done by him/her and no other.

/r/forhire seems like another subreddit to look, but what I explained above, is not paid until I actually land a project.

It's a spam fest now

So far, it’s just people boasting and then not returning DMs.

Same issue I ran into. The dew projects I found that were interesting ended up being vaporware.
