I am from India.PHP user group is best thing one can find but some people misusing it.I find
two ways but there may be more than two method I will give you two
examples :

1) In the name of PHP user group few people spread the porn thing.

shreesoft.net/myforum/

This site has two cat.

PHPHELP
PHPJOB

in this two cat. lot of message but only porn sites URL's.Can you find any
topic related to PHP??????!!!!!!!!!!!

2)Some people send "PHP User Group" and after sending if visit the site
after 6 monhts/8 monhts or after 1 year you will see only " coming soon....."
and only contact number.This I think this is only trick of getting more hits for their site. and they are misusing "http://phpcalsses.org".

nimitdudani.com/in/index.html

I am new to PHP (OOPS) so I visit for PUG's to increase my knowhow about
PHP not porn site.

So Please make your norms strict enough for ennroling PUG's and if possible countrywise moderator who constastly watch groups; If find voilating rule removes from the list.
Make this to spread knowhow not nonsenseness.
Thanks.

Thank you for reporting the problem.

Regarding inactive groups, the problem is not so simple. Many users submit group pages in the hope that the group starts growing in their region.

The intention of the PHPClasses site is to foster the growth of PHP groups by giving them visibility. If the site only gives visibility to active groups, new groups would probably never get enough visibility to get started and keep active. So we have a chicken and egg problem.

Maybe what inactive groups need is incentive, not censorship. I am open to ideas to improve the situation.

As for abuses, reports about fake PHP group sites are always appreciated. Action is take upon reports if necessary. In this case the fake PHP group site was removed.

I am not able to audit all PHP group sites, even less those that are not in English. Just let me know if you find any more fake PHP group sites.

You do not need to report them in public. Use the Contact link at the bottom of the site pages to get in touch via e-mail.
