- And last but not least, I had too much work in the last coupe of months which kept me away from the forum at least from contributing |
I don't know what you mean by 'raw material'. If it is propaganda based as Al-Siyassa and Al-Chira3, then no thanks.
I didn't understand your second point. Most of the sources are cleared as long as they remain credible so we don't undermine our credebility
All the best Ignatius, feel free to post whenever you have time.

We try our best and that explains somehow the changes we made. We will stress on that point. Thank your for your feedback.

I'll skip on the deleted posts as it remains relative to each one. We always gauge deleted post in an overall topic of discussion.
You mentionned however a good point about what you consider spammers. It's rather they are not familiar with how the discussions are shaped on the forum. That's why we invite people to read the forum rules and search some threads before they start posting.
