takingittothemax Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Spam with a soft boiled egg in a noodle soup. Delicious. I only thought of this because this place is being overrun by the far less delicious spam ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacienega Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Well, I don't like it as a food nor over here...please fix it guys.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestead Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Luckily there is a button on the top right side of the page called "√ Mark site read" that will clear all the spam quickly! Just scan through first to make sure there isn't any "REAL" entries you want to read. Lacienega, fbov and SnowStorm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takingittothemax Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks Homestead. I've done that. Every time I come back, there's more. Was wondering if there were still any moderators around who can delete this stuff or figure out how to stop it (or lessen it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus 3 golfer Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I believe it was 3 weeks ago that the SPAM started. Evidently, site has very poor spam controls and no monitors deleting spam accounts and posts. ? It won’t surprise me, if one day soon, we try to open the forum and we see the expected, but unpleasant “404”. Support of the C-Max Energi forum stopped a little over 1 year ago which was a little over 2 years after Ford stopped production of the 2017 Energi. Well, in several months, Ford will reach about 3 years since production stopped on the 2018 C-Max. Time will tell!

SnowStorm Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yes, its ridiculous. I've been following virtually every new post for years but I think I'll stop - too much trouble. "Ignore" doesn't work - they just make new accounts (or it still seems to get by, some way). "Mark site read" is useless because you have to wade through so many spams to find the real ones before you hit that button. Many thanks to all who have given so much help! We still love our C-Max but this site is pretty much trashed. Sad. Maybe I'll check occasionally to see if they fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have to fixed that problem now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered who was running it. Can’t tell who actually owns it. But early on, Ford had customer service reps monitor the site and offered assistance when owners had issues. That stopped IIRC around late 2015, early 2016 when Sync version 3.08 / 3.10 ? (Would have to search which one) was released and showed up as an update on Ford Owners site for some and not for others. CSR said don’t worry it will show up as an update and dealer will install. After many months of Ford owner site still showing the older SYNC version 3.06 as being up to date, the CSRs disappeared from the forum.

homestead Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 This site has more activity than the blue oval escape/kuga site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Blue Oval is semi-dormant, but when they do post, it's useful. Fordescape is much busier... https://www.fordescape.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
