You are caught in a situation where any number of websites will be made an example of because of a few bad apples. Those guys who continually risk criminal prosecution to take upskirts for Rep points are simply juvenile. There is nothing no Moderators can do about it. As for pimping, it has operated on a "grey" area of the law for a long time.
It is unfair to take the moderator to task for the postings of individual forumers. How do we solve the issue? I guess downsizing is inevitable. It is a shame that it has to come to this.
I think the idea of restricting new members is a good idea. And maybe making this a paid site will ensure the age limit of 21yo in future.
Not good with suggestions, just my thoughts!
May this site continue to thrive within the legal boundaries!

The upskirts wasn't the main spark.
The main spark came when prc whores operated in heartland hdbs. And they were advertising openly in sbf via pimps who paid advertising to list their girls.
Sam had high overheads maintaining the forum, but lets not kid ourselves that he has not profited from the advertising. We cannot say that it is unfair that moderator has been taken to task for postings of individual forumers. It is the lack of regulations that has made the system in this forum that lax. Eg, what is the point of having reputation points when points can be bought?
With lax regulations, it makes the forum hard to maintain especially when there is high traffic.
The person who was jailed was found guilty of living on immoral earnings because he helped whores advertise by collecting a fee from them. Likewise this person paid this forum a fee so that he can advertise. And this forum is collecting a fee from him. There is no difference if whores advertise themselves without having a pimp representing them because eventually the forum and the forum owner are deemed as pimps in this case.
Downsize the forum to lesser areas will be better for a start, because the massive amount of work has become too much work for Sam and his moderators. By downsizing to lesser forums will make the work easier for him. And that is of course to start off by cutting out the illegal fl sections.
But its not easy to cut off because thats the main cash cow for this forum.
