Who handles all spam and illegal actions in Oxwall forums?

They should have managed to install software that helps to reduce all of this!

There is no point at all, just giving users the opportunity to click to report the bad guys, when it nevertheless seems like nothing is done to remove spam in the various forums, which are now just getting more and more. Time to do something about these issues.

No obviously not. It's getting so much spam here that it's not possible to run a normal serious conversation. Spam and illegal business flow freely and plugin development escapes from its responsibility! That's the anarchy of Oxwall store and forums at the moment. Someone should take responsibility and clean up. Or are there spam and bandits who take over all responsibility for the forums?

Many have tried, but the team members have been unresponsive to posts, and PMs for a long time now, they are the only ones with rights to remove anything.

There are rumors that Oxwall's owner was exposed to an accident of any kind / fire! and that the entire Oxwall project is on its way to shut down! Is there any truth about this? Is this the reason why certain developers have left the ship and that no one gets any response from Oawall developers and that there is no response to spam? Something is because it seems that most people along with Oxwall have jumped overboard! I took the consequences of this reputation and possibly reality, to download all plugins as well as theme + the latest version of Oxwall. And has also downloaded all necessary documents. one learns with the years.

No one knows what the truth is. They have been completely silent since around December 2016. I have done the same as you about plugins, and themes.

One can not be sure. Strange that it suddenly became quiet. Too bad, hope someone else will take it and develop it further! But if so, some of the responsible people should say about this, so people do not buy the plug unnecessarily and do not get any support! I hope most people read this thread and do not buy with the plugin until this question has been resolved. For instance, the forum in clean anarchy and Oxwall is still unclear!

Some of us have poured a lot of time into helping on the forums, and even developing themes, and/or plugins. Out of all of that; we are still in the same boat as everyone else that comes here. The "Leader" label means nothing. It comes with no power to do anything, and doesn't mean we are in anyway affiliated with the platform. I am just a regular user with a little more understanding of the basic features, and have taught myself what I know about theme design. I am no server guru, or good with programming. I do like the platform, and the ability for a beginner to customize a few things, and really hope the team re-groups, and comes around to help. Maybe they have ran into a wall with getting the platform to the next level for full compatibility with php 7.
I have searched, and searched for answers on what is going on, but there is nothing to be found on the web. I don't know where, or how anyone may have found something about a fire, or accident. The only thing I could find about a fire was related to an old Oxwall Tool building; which isn't related to the Oxwall platform.
The sad thing is,that I know in a matter of a day, or two, this post, like many others, will be buried by spam.

I will continue to do what I can to help others. It's just in my nature. Even if it's just digging up an old post that may put them on a track, but there are several things that are just way beyond my ability. It's good to see a couple of plugin devs jump in as well like Dave, and Artmedia. It would only be beneficial to other active devs to offer forum assistance as well, if they have interest in keeping the platform alive to keep their sales moving.

If Oxwall stays locked to an owner that does not exist! I can not see the point of making a new plugin for a system that will hang out for an upcoming technology, which will be outdated! but of course thanks to all who still help others.

Somebody did a huge clean-up of the forum today. Not sure who it was, but it is appreciated. It was getting so bad that you couldn't make a post without spam coming in on top of it within 5 minutes. Spammers aren't hard to pick out, and deleting the profile takes all their spam with it.

Yes, just delete the profile. but it is also equally important to block IP on server.

Positive that there are finally someone who takes out responsibility here and delete spam.

it hard to block a spammer or any unwanted people to a website.


only a fingerprint plugin would help but nobody wanted create such plugin , one developer called him self "smith" (Kairat Bakitow you can see his real name in the demo domain he use) was just steel my money and told he created such plugin and then he left the building with my money and others probably to 


i think this was a great idea https://cursorium.co.uk/oxwall/index.php


we should have another place to join if this site is going down 


i will download all plugins to and themes i buy and write down all license because this forum feels no secure anymore and little developers active and many plugins developers are gone and not talk about the oxwall TEAM and they leader EMil they are all gone long time ago from this forum. 


Before you could at least see some of them active in this forum


i was look my skype today and the developers that are involved in this team have removed me in my contact list and it is a sign that they are abondon this ship very soon and there is a secret that they are not telling to us for try milk out money as long they can


ketil where did you read about this fire accident?


if someone want add me as friend on skype just send me a PM and i add you, it is good to have many oxwall and skadate friends that use same software if the forum go down

Exactly where in the forum I saw this info about an accident I no longer remember unfortunately. But you're definitely right, mostly you write here.
