Forums being spammed by WordPress Themes - DevHunters.com l Webmaster Forum - Web Advertising - Web Design

This is becoming increasingly popular whereby WordPress Themes are being chucked into forums.

Whilst we also create WP themes it is a real turn off to come to a forum, click on New Posts and find pure WP themes being touted.

I say, shoot them down and be rid of this category and that goes out to all forums.

Let me also add: I think finding WP themes are of great use but when forums are overun but 90% rubbish (some may even says ours !!!) it's a killer.

What do you all think?

I think we should put all WP themes into 1 thread. What do you think hunter? I don't want to do anything without your approval. Sounds like a good idea?

If Hunter approves - could mine be the first in that thread - pretty please

I have heard a few things myself related to that.

Is there an example here at Devhunters that you could show as an example?

All in one thread? Hmm, interesting.....

We will have to talk about this a little more because like John78 for instance totally deserves his own thread.

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 05-21-2008, 07:58 PM

Maybe a thread for each user? Once the user releases 5 or more wordpresses, then we merge the threads and each person gets their own?

That would become way to complicated...

How about a sub-forum in the wordpress forum?

Then one thread per user profile?

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 05-21-2008, 10:14 PM

I would volunteer to see my idea through if it's just a matter of too much work.

I like this idea the best.

I will have this done tomorrow!

Thanks Neusha G.

And thanks for everyone looking out for all of our community!

Might be nice to create a way to quickly browse all the WP themes. I know there is a themebrowser available. Maybe you could state in the terms that all WP themes will be added to the theme browser.

Hmm, never thought about it that way. Hunter might take this into review. Seems like a good idea to me. :P
