With the spam that has been making it to the forums, I'm finding myself in a situation where I cannot delete the posts as I don't have the privileges to do so. The person who created the forums no longer responds to these problems.
As a web hosting provider myself I know I wouldn't just hand over admin privileges to anyone without at least being able to verify. But I'm in a situation where the people subscribed to those forums are upset about the spam postings and I can't do anything about it except remove the forums from the pages.
