I have called with this complaint before, and now I am putting it in writing:
I love your site but will no longer use it because I cannot stand to sift through 5 pages of Passages Hospice listings every time I want to look for a volunteer opportunity. They are abusing the site by reposting dozens of listings every day in order to be listed first, and are making the site too annoying to use. Please either limit their postings or develop a feature for everyone else to eliminate them through a more powerful search feature that includes a "not" option.
Stop Passages Hospice from abusing this site.

1Hi Karen,
Thanks for letting us know about the situation. Our users are the best source for this kind of information. I'll contact the organization and work with them on a solution for their listings to avoid so many duplicates.
In the meantime, are you using keywords when you search? That's one way to drill down on the type of opportunities you see in your search results.
Let us know if you have further questions and thanks again for reaching out to let us know about the situation.
Regards,
Kevin Johnson

I’m
glad you brought this to our attention
Hello Karen,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We encourage all of our users to bring abuses such this to our attention. Being inundated with mass posts does not make for a user friendly searching experience.
I am looking into it now and I will follow up with you directly via email as I learn more.
Thanks again,

I would like a way to exclude certain orgs in @VolunteerMatch searches. Some orgs are a little volunteer greedy and have a million posts. I'd love to be able to choose who I'm *not* looking for.
