We are back now for a year, and I'll be trying hard to change this around. If you have more specific complaints, definitely make them known and I'll do my best to address them. When I get delete permissions, I'll also be going through and compiling lots of fun lists for fixes, features, etc (of which there are a few posted here).
You all need to remember, Chipmark is a PROJECT program developed and supported by college students enrolled at the University of Minnesota. They only work on the program and watch the forum during the fall and spring semester, there is no one there during the summer months.
"Chipmark is a student run open-source project at the University of Minnesota."
I was talking writing about the spam. The Chipmark staff can easily recruit ANY user to do that simple job. I asked them in the past few times to have a privilege to Hide or to Delete inappropriate posts, and sure they can refuse or not accepting my request but, come'on, AT LEAST take care of the spam or install Auto Hide 0.1.1 or some other automatic patch...
