The factory forums page is under attack by Russian spammers. Not fake news. Glad to see this site is OK.

Not only under attack but seemingly unsupervised. To paraphrase Mitch McConnell: " It's not easy making a forum great again."

It takes constant vigilance to keep the spammers at bay. They come in "batches" and when they are hitting hard it's several per week that have to be removed from this site. It's checked every day and new members that have the spammer M.O. are banned immediately. It's a pain on any forum and a sad state of affairs.

Merlin is doing a great job in helping to keep those spammer away, we do have a spam software installed that reduce the amount but there is some that slip through. Thank you Merlin for the help!

I know I'm mean but couldn't happen to a better mfg. than THOR.  I still am thor at THOR for their LACK of customer concern and go see the dealer attitude.  The previous trailer we bought used and the manufacturer treated all of us consumers well.  Guess family owned mfg. vs Corp does make the difference.  I was taught in sales the 250 rule always applies. Simply put each satisfied or dissatisfied customer will tell 250 friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. their good or bad experiences.  We were taught to try to make all customer experiences GOOD.  Simply put what goes around comes around.  I personally feel Livin Lite ONLY cares about the SALE – and to Hell with the service and the owner.
So if they are getting spammed = KARMA

The factory LivinLite site is still getting spammed today, Saturday. Dan the moderator seems to be able to control it during the week, but for the last few weekends the site has been unusable. He needs an assistant moderator to hold the fort on weekends.

Thank you Paul and the other moderators for keeping this site spam free.

What you're seeing here and there is the difference between a member supported forum with multiple moderators and a factory controlled forum with a single part time 9-5 X-weekends administrator. Advantage ACF.
