Dear Babypips Admins @Ananais , @Pipstradamus ,
The BP school was great and I am grateful for it. This is why I am posting, just in case it helps, rather than disappearing in silence as most people do.
I practice trading on demo now, and soon I will start trading from my system, using a prop firm evaluation to try to get funds to trade, exactly as a couple of my friends recently did. I wish to post in a forum both my system to discuss and interact, and my journal to record the trading and for the same reasons. I wished to do both here.
Like so many other people, though, I just cannot bear the bots and the spam, so I must go instead to another forum to interact with traders.
People arrive here with goodwill, as I did. We leave, often shortly afterwards, with less. Just because we find the unending combination of spam and bots here really very nasty.
How will you attract and keep human members to take part here when you use paid bot traffic posting service from traffic farms which packs the forum with completely valueless, computer-generated text, and so many of the human posters are here just to promote something, too, and you do nothing at all to change this? In spite of your very few remaining real members constantly requesting it! And then gradually leaving for these exact reasons, and pretty often saying so, too, while you just ignore them.
Without real people like me staying, what kind of forum does it become?
We can see the answer to that, canāt we?
Very sorry if I seem arrogant, but I do honestly think I am exactly the kind of member you need to be able to attract and to retain, for your business to survive at all, yet in spite of all my initial goodwill, you failed to retain me.
I dislike it when you delete my posts, to protect the spammers and the bots, and you do not even tell me, and then all your moderators can say, when I ask, is āWe agree there is an issueā followed by total silence when politely asked any further questions about it. Who would not dislike that?
You are CAUSING the āissueā they refer to: the constant bot posting traffic farm service you unaccountably use is actively killing your business. Many members comment on this, but you just ignore them all, too.
I understand that the spam needs a little effort to remove, but we can all see also that your current method of pretending to do that does not even begin to work.
I see now, in the feedback section here, that many people also complained about exactly these same things many years ago and you ignored them all then, just as you do now. For me that is truly disappointing but at least it makes my decision to leave very easy and very obvious. We can all see exactly how and why what happens here is so very different from what happens in other trading forums.
Anyway I already had enough big and serious and real problems in my short life, so far, not to continue to be upset and offended by all your silly ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā here but just to move on. I am just really sad for you that you continue to waste totally all of the goodwill your great Pipsology School creates, which ironically ought to give you an advantage over exactly the others to whom you continue to lose almost all your members and traffic!
But in spite of gradually losing almost all your genuine members, obviously you still strongly prefer bots to humans, and spammers to normal members. Even after all these years.
I do not understand how this can possibly work for you.
For me (just as for the many others who say the same) it does not appeal.
And I am really saying that very politely indeed, in the circumstances.
So goodbye.
Yours sincerely,
Maria FP

Chug!
