The Community Color sites used to have several interactive features such as a forum interactive maps, ratings buttons, etc.
Every interactive feature became a target of spammers or by really nasty people who swore a lot and said terrible things about others.
So, I systematically turned off each interactive feature of the sites.
I had left the rating button on the site to test different ways of filtering out the spam. In truth, I really didn't want to have a 100% capitulation to spammers.
Keeping the rate button also reminded me that it is impossible to have an interative feature on a site without getting overloaded by disinformation and spam.
Anyway, I finally decided that it is not worth it, and am sad to announce that I turned off the last interactive feature on the sites.
Often I wish I could have a forum or an interactive feature. I can't think of any that would not automatically be abused.
