Whilst I do agree with you. Some companies have been put in a horrendous position. The restrictions have gone on and on and on. A lot of companies who took a loan out last March were promised politically that we needed to flatten the curve etc its now 12 months later..
There are options to extend and to delay repayments.

Yes, some firms will have gone bust, no doubt about it, mainly in the hospitality and retail sectors no doubt.

Has someone already tried to take out business loans? I mean not only small businesses, for example, like opening your small offline store, but good large-scale businesses. My sister is an economist, and she has been telling me all my life that I should never take out loans, especially in American banks, since, in any case, I will lose about 10% more money than I take on credit. When I started my business, my sister found a service spammywebsite.com, to whom she told me to turn since they are intelligent and reliable guys in the market. I would like to equip a mini IT park in my city now, but this requires a lot of money, so I am interested if someone has tried to take out business loans here

Do you think we are stupid?

To answer for 'it', yes it probably does and will be correct in many instances. That's why there are so many blatant scams out there that actually net criminals massive hauls [I hesitate to call it 'profit'].

I reported it too. There are so many new posters on here with spammy links in their first and only post. @Clive , @Chris F - can you not do something so new posters can't add links for the first month or two?

It seems to be a growing problem - there’s more every time I look.

The bigger a site gets the more of a problem this becomes. Of course there is some irony that all these spammers are desperate for an external link from our site as we rank well in Google, yet I can't get AHDB to put information and links on here.

We have completely banned two countries to slow down the spam, but some of them are actual people creating accounts and we can't stop that.

Can you not just stop new members from posting links? That feels like an easy fix for most of these.

We kind of do in a round about way, but like anything, there are ways to get round it. The tighter the rules become, the more real farmers we catch in the process. Its a tough balance that we are always tweaking to try and keep up with their onslaught. For instance we have caught and rejected 4 in the last 8 minutes.
