You can report a piece of blatant pornography, stolen from a tacky website as inappropriate and DA does fuck all about it, but if you post 30 or so 'Thanks for the fave' messages all in one go DA automatically stops you from posting any more because it thinks they're spam?

And on the same subject why is it that so many of our so called 'Erotic' or 'Nude Art' groups can blatantly flaunt the DA rules without getting shut down? GUYS - IT'S GETTING TO THE STAGE WHERE IT'S EMBARASSING TO ASSOCIATE WITH  SOME OF YOU. PLEASE GO AWAY AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND OUT FOR YOURSELVES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EROTIC AND PORNOGRAPHIC!

And why is it that DA can waste so much time, effort and money promoting llamas and other crud, but they don't seem to be able to find the money, time or effort to get  themselves some web servers that are good enough to cope with the load? I spend about a quarter of my time looking at empty screens with a bloody great X in the corner and I know it's not my broadband link or my PC that's the problem.

DA is not a free service. Some of us pay for it through premium membership. Some of us pay for it by putting up with bloody advertisements jumping up when we least expect them. Whichever way we pay for it we should expect to get an excellent service (please note, there is a difference between excellent and perfect - excellence we should all strive for, perfection is just for bloody idiots.)

In spite of those and my many other gripes and moans, I really like this place. Just like I like that old pair of trainers that I can't stop wearing, even though they stink and are full of holes.

Having said that, and to give some perspective to my own pathetic moans and gripes, I found out earlier this year that there are an estimated 5000 (yes, five thousand) slave workers in my country's capital city, not to mention in the rest of my country. It may interest you to know that 'my country' is England.  You can find out a little bit more about it here [link] including how our shitty fucking government is going to make it much easier in the future for some of us to own and abuse our very own domestic worker.
