Every so often, I get "the bug" and go read a few posts in the new forums, usually when I'm logged in to my account for other reasons.  Occasionally I try to post.  Every time I post I get the message that my post is "pending moderator review" or something to that effect.  That is just so lame.

In addition, yesterday, on Prospers.org, it came out that any time someone posted a link that mentioned that website, it was changed to Prosper.com.  After much wailing and gnashing of teeth by forum participants, apparently this was changed to just edit links to use "***" so they wouldn't be real links.

I don't know who is behind all this nonsense that is the Prosper forums but they have some serious issues if they think this will become acceptable.  People who care are going to care less and less if this keeps up.  Prosper is going to need to do some serious PR repair pretty soon if they can't get their act together.  Lenders who are pulling out will have months, if not years, to be constantly reminded of why they don't like Prosper.  They will be telling a lot of friends and family, to say nothing of opportunities to broadcast their displeasure in various places on the internet.

Prosper really needs to find a way to reach out to these people and stop this foolishness they've embarked upon.  Prosper is going to lose if they don't I firmly believe.
