So Now Paddling.com is Selling Drugs Via the Classifieds?

Is there no way to tag / flag these ads? Doesn’t anyone vet the ads before they are posted?

Is ‘kayak classifieds’ officially ‘broke’?
I had to go to the 3rd page to find the first kayak.

While mods can delete and block the trash who posted it (PremiumLab), I see no way to delete the ad.

Only whoever owns the site can do that.

Owners appear to have gone on walkabout…

If it wasn’t for the active members here that I respect and enjoy it would be easy for me to leave. The owners treat this site poorly not addressing glitches in a timely fashion is bad enough but not yet acting on this is gross negligence.

Wow! Wow!

It would be nice if the admins could address the spam ads, possibly assign a member to delete them.

Agreed. If there is no way to filter out hundreds of off topic ads it would be better to just shut the classifieds section down.

I don’t mind adds. They introduce new products and innovative designs, so I won’t block them. The ones that block content or cause the screen to shift around while answering a post are aggravating to the point that I would never buy the product. As far as tge drig advertisements go, there are enough references to recreational drug use expressed by members tyat the forum owners probably figured it would be a public service announcement. It would be interesting to take a pole on how many members who detest big pharma but have no objection to the availability of street drugs. With all the negative attention given Fentanyl, I’m shocked to see that as one of the proffered drugs. Currently, the toll on Baltimore streets is on the climb with over 27 deaths attributed to Xylazine laced Fentanyl. People gotta do what people gotta do. Sad to think the marketing potential is that lucrative for such a seeming holsum and health conscious forum.

The marketing department should at least consider the optics as it reflects the standards of decency.
