So when we try to help someone over there by linking to a post here we're in the same category as direct spam that's trying to sell a product that's completely unrelated to CAD?
Do they not realize that if they had moved the old forum to another dedicated forum platform this forum probably wouldn't even exist?
Well... This post in particular was a cross post across multiple 3DX communities (not one of those classic hardcore spam things) and it was even labeled as such. I labeled it as spam BECAUSE it was a hardcore cross post.
I choose to only see the forum & the top ten list currently & anything unrelated should not appear in that feed. That's what it is for!
If people abuse this decision you'll have everything in all communities soon.
Additionally this is of course a problem of this platform (because it is made to be like any other social media platform): Without cross posting you may not reach everybody who may be interested in this - so you post it everywhere.
In a true forum you could just moderate this post and move it into the place where it should exist (sub forum) and delete it from the wrong place.
Honestly:
I despise the SWAMP. After this one big update they basically did nothing to improve it. I rarely get answers, I can find nothing, posting code is still horrible, you cannot advise somebody to do something because pictures/gifs/videos in comments are not formatted etc.
It's useless.
Even the good ideas (wiki pages etc., filter by almost anything) can not save it, because the UI does not allow you nor does it work properly (or you can not find it). It's a joke.
Edit: Also the possibility to FINALLY integrate the SPR thing, merging of all the SolidWorks accounts, adding nice video implementations etc. are not used. Neither is adding your models/selling them on there. NOTHING WORKS. Like... it's worse than my macros! HOW!!!????
Edit2: & so much more. I don't have time for this.
