Activity on the French forum

Lots of interesting questions (and answers!) on the French forum today and yesterday -- keep it up!

French Forum prizes: survey

I am currently conducting a survey to find out your opinion on introducing prizes for the best questions and answers posted on the French Forum. Over 2,000 people either use or have passed through the forum, and so I would like to try and encourage a bit more participation. Your opinions will be gratefully received!

Sign-ups to the French Language forum

Unfortunately there have been a few instances of spam postings appearing on the French Language forum over the last few days. So while I assess the situation, I've taken the decision to moderate all sign-ups to the forum for the next few days. This means that people signing up to the forum will experience a delay-- hopefully of just a couple of hours or so-- between signing up being able to participate in the forum, chat room etc, and I apologise in advance for this inconvenience.

French language discussion forum reinstated

The French language discussion forum has been re-instated today after being temporarily disabled yesterday. The forum was disabled following various spam posts that were posted on this forum plus other forums by a bogus pharmaceuticals company. The situation is being monitored and I apologise to users for the inconvenience.

Users are reminded to be vigilent when using this and other forums. The French Linguistics site does not condone unauthorised spam and advertising. Although parts of the site are funded through advertising in order to offer a free service to users, only well-known, reputable advertising services are used, and advertisements are always placed in designated parts of the site. No legitimate advertising material will ever be placed inside forum postings. Should any other spam and advertising posts slip through the net, you are urged not to click on any links or pictures inside forum postings that appear to be advertising material.

400 forum members and counting!

A big thank-you to everyone who's been contributing to various interseting discussions recently on the French language forum. We've now reached over 400 members. Whilst it's surely true that not all of these members continue to be active, it's nonetheless a great milestone and it's good to see that so many people have passed through at one time or another with their questions. Keep them coming!
