- "volunteer" is what it means: "volunteer". To try to make anybody "volunteer" in any activity any manner which is less than whole-heartedly willingly, sounds wrong.
Nobody's trying to make anyone volunteer. I doubt anyone will.
There is no reason why the AppDB shouldn't work that way. i.e. just deal with the persistent ones, and let the individual readers skip over the occasional rest as they come.
And who do you propose should "deal with" the persistent spammers?
people who are bothered by them, or people who are paid to spend such time. I am neither. To be honest, i am more bothered by this thread (in a list which i subscribe to) than spam on appdb (which i don't).
To ban such exchanges - between people who ask for help and might even offer incentives, and those who can offer help but not willing/possible to commit to a regular role - seem over-zealous.
We have a perfectly good user's forum for such exchanges.
