Pick up game abuse

I've notice that there are several serial offenders for abusing the pickup game option. They'll set the next play time so that the game appears on the list of pick-up games, but it's not the real time for that game.  The game doesn't happen for days or sometimes even weeks later. It's a lie to lure more players into looking at their advertisement for a game that doesn't play for days.  Why is this allowed? Does roll20 monitor this at all?  THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A GAME ON TUESDAYS @ 4:30 PM EST - NEXT GAME 5/19 Why is this game in the pick-up game list on Saturday 5/16?
Maybe to get the players pick and ready for the game?
That is BS...but several things also happen if you are doing a Pathfinder 2 game. 1 NO CHARACTERMANCER it takes a couple hours to set everyone up. This means that you have to set your game out a weeks so everyone can build a character. Also sometimes you got to cancel a game -my hd crashed and I didn't know what to do. Also I have experienced situation where I wanted to move characters from one game to another just so I could ad a module to it. This is bad for everyone.  I can understand if we are just shfting players from one game to another and I think that must happen to more than me.
