Unfortunately no. There are people who think it's okay to delete posts they don't like or agree with. Or, they just don't like the poster. Admin isn't going to get involved.

The forum admins won't ban someone from abusing the spam button privilege...they just get that privilege taken away...no spam button.
It takes a lot of ugliness for a person to get banned...you are still here with all your ugly talk...despite the majority of the forum members who would like to see you gone.
Abusing the spam button (whomever is doing it to you by removing your posts) isn't grounds for banning. Never has been and never will be.

Technically, what really is "spam"?
Is it only advertising, commercial promotion--or is it any unwanted, unrelenting verbal garbage?
Something to think about . . .

I'd be happy if the overused, offensive and downright juvenile terms 'libtard' and 'libturd' were expunged from the board.

A few times I've looked at my spam button and thought about taking one for the team. If I ever go that far, I'm going out in a blaze of glory.

In a response to xxyzx on another thread, I pointed out he has used these terms with people who definitely aren't liberals. I also mentioned that I liked one of his posts even though I had that "evil" designation. But obviously, the guy doesn't care about logic.

Are there any CPAP support forums that actually offer support instead of this?
Why are the forum administrators so lazy?
TIA

To LSAT. Dont be so quick to critizize. Most people here have problems and by looking at what others post, they may find an answer. Getting on CPAP is not always easy. This board can be helpful.

What are you talking about - LSAT didn't criticize anyone or anything, just explained about how this forum works. The owners (who also own Cpap.com) believe in free speech and only get involved if something extreme occurs that they feel they can't allow to continue, and let members deal with each other when it comes to differences and/or even language we might find offensive or members we may feel are disturbed. We're not children after all, and have the 'foe' feature if we want to use it. If you don't like to see someone's stuff, then don't read it - you can see who's posted something before reading it after all.

If we're going to get political, I prefer the term "Republicrat", since both parties are equally as bad - they just have different whipping boys.

Highly recommend
http://www.apneaboard.com, for real help and information. This forum is only good for entertainment, kind of like the "3 stooges." In the past, I have asked a serious question both here and on apneaboard. ZERO answers here, but 47 answers on apneaboard.
