FunClown Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Please Mods, delete the spam threads. Is it too much trouble to ask? I have complained and received no reply. I'm really tired of coming on to this forum and seeing them. The people who post in them should have there post count reduced to zero IMO. After that if they persist they should be banned. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunClown Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 This thread = ironic Once the spam threads are deleted I couldn't care less if this thread is deleted as well. This isn't a spam thread, I want something to be done about the spam threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Spirit Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Originally posted by FunClown This isn't a spam thread i think u will find it is you've already tried to get these threads deleted as you said, and it hasnt worked. which means they arent going to delete them! make another complaint about it is pointless. they arent going to listen to you more because u make a thread about it and by doing this u are becoming the thing u hate. this thread is pointless. pointless leads to spam, spam leads to hate and hate leads to suffering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Perhaps if you found some of the users that you don't like, or there comments seem to be pointless to you, you could select the 'ignore' function in your user setup and chuck them on it. That way when you entered a thread you would only see the comments from the others. I'd start with my username, personaly. I tend to have no point.

obi Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I think the mods should answer to him. They are the only ones who can do something about it. (if I was a mod, I would have answerd like a mod:D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Don't worry, any further blatant spamming threads will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned. Some of the spam threads have simply been locked, because they contain a warning not to continue...and they also act as a record of those members who have been involved in spamming. Yes, we know who you are, and we'll be watching the forums closely. As we've stated before, spam isn't appreciated on these forums. And we can and will delete any spammy threads/posts at any time. We'll probably conduct a bit of housekeeping shortly, and remove the locked spammy threads...so don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Well said, StormHammer. And one point of clarification for everyone - while we shall continue pruning the spam threads from the forums, one should not confuse a spam thread for an off-topic thread in Yoda's Swamp. This forum exists soley for the purpose of discussing off-the-wall topics, and one should not expect such types of topics to be deleted from Yoda's Swamp.

BlackDove Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Off-topic off-topic = spam... And there have been and there still are, a lot of threads containing that description... they are still open I might add...

Vagabond Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Exactly. If you don't like reading off-topic threads, =SSC=Kal-El, then I urge you to...not read them. It's that simple. I don't want to hear your complaints about the proliferation of off-topic threads in the forum designated soley for the purpose of housing such discussions. Like I said, don't confuse off-topic discussions with spam. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunClown Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Thanks for the reply mods and the action you are planning to take. I do understand that spam doesn't equal off-topic threads. It equals threads and posts with absolutely no point but to raise post counts. These I find annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, don't confuse off-topic discussions with spam. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. So it's ok to go off the topic from the topic that has been on topic (the topic created) which was an off topic in the first place? I'm not saying that off topic threads are wrong. But the off topic-off topic threads are wrong. Example: "What's your favorite meal" thread, and then it evolves to a "My dad is the best dad in the world" which ultimatly leads to the "You suck" contest... That IS spam... But even if it doesnt lead to insults, it would technically still be spam. Unless someone made that to be ok... Thank you for your cooperation, but it seems you still don't understand me...
