theSpoke is a wonderful site: a meeting place for hundreds (thousands?) of young people world wide interested in technology, most of whom are computer saavy, do web development, etc. and so on.

theSpoke is also a source of frustration: bug fixes take a long time to come to fruition, we (the loyal subscribers) are deluged by spammers on our blogs, forums, and gallaries, and there is the increasing sense that things just aren't going to get better.

So how's this for a solution: LET US FIX IT. Why can't theSpoke administrators open up applications for user-admins, user-developers, user-watchdogs, etc, and let us repair the problems, fix the bugs, delete the spammers, and do all the things we've been promised now for several years.

Who's up for a challenge?

Hey, theSpoke Admin: Looks like the gauntlet has been thrown down. While less commented on than I would have hoped for, it does look like 100% support for this idea. Can we open a real discussion now?

One month later, and no response from theSpoke admin. Which of these two options is true:

1. They are unable to respond.
2. They are unwilling to respond.

Either is disturbing. I wonder ...

ur idea is really great,may be they dint read ur post but ths notion f urs is worth revering
