Spamming CLOSED TOPIC FULLY DISCUSSED
Will any of yous agree that recently we have been spamming exceptionally badly? most of us would agree that spamming is fun but, it has gone to far recently and many of our more sensible threads have been hijacked and then blocked. There have been exceptionally large numbers of random and un-related posts and that is useless spam. Not mentioning anyone in-particular but certain people have said useless things in multiple threads, which resulted in a mass locking of topics which for a while had good conversations. This person has been spamming at an epidemic rate and I just believe that, that person is jeprodising future spamming, this is not me complaining that over 3 weeks 1 person has posted close to 800 posts and nearly over-taken me but that soon there might be another major crackdown on us and resulting in a temporary forum death. This is getting long so I will cut it short. What I am trying to say is that spamming for the sake of spamming by ruining threads for personal benefit is not right for us, other people that have morals.
PS: This is not me complaining that I will soon lose highest post count on the forum and I know it will happen soon as I am in the middle of exams and can't post that often. Hope someone agrees with this

Re: Spamming (DON'T LOCK)
Whilst i agree with the spam getting stupid, i seem to remember going through the same amount of spam when someone else was also aiming for the highest number of posts.kingrewt wrote:spamming for the sake of spamming by ruining threads for personal benefit is not right for us, other people that have morals.

How about people stop wasting time worrying about the quantity of posts they have and concentrate more on the quality, it's a shame post counts can't just be removed on the forum this would solve most of the mindless junk.
I refute that allegation my excessive spam had a meaning and I never posted the same thing in 20 different threads. Yet I have always listened to warnings (nearly always) and I remember having been told off by half the forum once (inatel as well but he had left) and since I have calmed down. I do agree that it should be quality but however sometimes serious threads are hijacked and it cannot be classed as quality posts after a certain person every time someone brings it back on topic at once deviates and forces and alternate topic upon the thread as well several others.NYK wrote:Whilst i agree with the spam getting stupid, i seem to remember going through the same amount of spam when someone else was also aiming for the highest number of posts
which is?my excessive spam had a meaning
see guys, i havent had a warning yet. ok, sometimes my words are not really about whats going on in the topic, but its not a race for me or so. Im here to have a good time, to laugh and to be happy, unlike some of us (serg) who only wants to be the #1 poster...if the peugeot poster wasnt hanging there i'd hang you on my wall
Was thinking pretty much the same thing as you. I have yet to receive a warning from the moderators, which means I have been behaving decently enough..so far. Plus, I'm not looking to win the "Spammer of the Month" contest. I post on this forum because I enjoy doing so, I like talking to people and be as sociable as possible. Spamming isn't actually my hobby, you know.jan1666 wrote:which is?my excessive spam had a meaning

Not really, it is just I have loads of spare time since it is the holidays (half-term) so I have LOADS of spare time, therefore I talk with Walla and Jan on the forums...jan1666 wrote:which is?my excessive spam had a meaning

Jan has also been posting like 100-150 times a day...
Well, as long as you don't go over the border of decency, I see no reason why GoldenEye - or any other moderator, for the matter - would want to give you a warning .jan1666 wrote:same as me.
