Title: Spam Ban
Post by: hybirdisdf on February 28, 2009, 08:25:26 AM
My idea is anybody who spam us should receive suspense for 30 days.They cant post or answer on forum.The point will be set back to zero.Anyone like my idea?

With a little spellcheck and a move to the Management board instead of OT, this would actually be a somewhat good idea.

However, 30 days for a little spam is a tad much, someone over on bz2md.com only got 2 weeks and a harsh warning for posting warez.

I agree with Steeveeo. And, that may be a BAD idea. Reset to 0 posts = more hunger for more points = more spam.

And, UH OH!

Yeah, if that happens we'll never see nor hear from you again.

On topic again, sometimes it is unavoidable - let's face it, we have all done it recently. Maybe we should classify what counts as spam in this case, or how much, or something. Otherwise there will be nobody here.

Except CmptrWz maybe.

Okay, here are my classifications of spam:

EXAMPLE!: Extreme: (Start new thread to spam) HELLO I AM TEH MASTUR CH33F LOLOLOLOL - Permaban/Suspended for 3 months
EXAMPLE!: High: (In thread, and for nothing) LOL! - What's in the first post
EXAMPLE!: Normal: (In thread, offensive) HAHA n00b owned. - Suspended for a week
EXAMPLE!: Low: State obvious stuff, like what I did recently on BZ2MD - Uhh, I don't know?! Picture of Doom? lol

EDIT: Look at my sig!

I don't think people spam strictly for the sake of upping their post count -- they probably just do it as a way to be silly. Anyways, I never noticed it being a huge problem here -- then again i'm pretty tolerant about that sort of thing.

LOL. I find it amusing that half of the people in this thread are the biggest spam jockeys on this board.  :-D

YEP! Some do it for being silly, (I used to do that since I was, uh, nevermind), but I suppose some also do it for fun, and some people do it accidentally. (Like, you posted in wrong board, then there's no DELETE POST button, happens on Asiasoft Forums.)

And, yeah, SJ's (Spam Jockeys) tend to watch out for the terms "SPAM", "BAN","MODERATOR", and "ADMINISTRATOR".

Official Abbreviation: SJ.
SJ (noun) (abbr, Spam Jockey) Somebody who spams.

I think I might have banned him for a week. Frankly, I didn't notice it was warez the first several times I saw it. I understood the possibility for confusion because of how the version before the one posted was free, so I slapped him is all.

Just so long as it does not become like facepunch here...

That would be particularly nasty.

I've nearly been the victim of one of those. Ever seen a swarm of 1000s of bees flying past right where you were 10 seconds ago?

Sheesh I was lucky!
Title: Re: Spam Ban
Post by: Arbystrider on March 01, 2009, 06:21:30 AM
I've never seen a bee before...

EDIT: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck...

Oh, and, you can't send me bees. It's illegal, and teleporters only transfer stuff a mile.

Quote from: Red Devil on September 04, 2008, 05:13:31 PM5. No Pointless topics (flaming, babbling, etc). This is a discussion board, unless it's informative (World News, Microsoft got Sued, etc), topics should be about something to discuss.

Yeah... no.

I would normally split the topic and put the good stuff in Talk to the Management, but I'm tired and needing sleep. Taking the easy way out...
