Originally posted by CA_Orotyou are probably one of the only members to bring this issue up. Hence, that would provide reason to believe that the other 139,000...
do you really have so much traffic running through your inbox that getting the occasionally rare message from Admin, cramps your style?

So you could say 25% may not want this spam.
I'm looking at the startpage for the Secret Societies forum at the moment. Like all start pages, it lists the 50 most recent threads (including sticky threads at the top). Of those 50, 25 have Anonymous listed as the most recent post. Of those 25 threads where Anonymous boosted them onto the front page of SS, only 2 Anonymous posts actually got vetted to actually be shown to the general ATS population. I'd say that's a pretty bad signal to noise ratio... 46% of the most recent replies to threads within one forum were anonymous spam that wasn't worth approving. Or, perhaps, 92% of Anonymous replies to the SS forum aren't worth bothering with.

basically, why can't i see some (most?) AnonymousATS posts?
Because we monitor Anonymous Posts for spam, ads or TC Violations before showing them.

I did not insinuate that I know what the membership thinks
