Can we get a 'Spam' forum?

[Xuenay]

I mean, seriously. I've seen several threads being closed down because they were meaningless, spam, or copycats.

In a spam section, it would be full of these threads... But since people would know about it, those who dont want to see spam wouldnt visit it anyway.

And this way, the spam threads move to the Spam section, and away from the Off-Topic and other forums.

So, why not?

civers dont spam

[Comrade Dan]

Well MarkG, I've been playing Civ for the last two years, and I've been spamming since I laid eyes on the Off Topic...

And spam forums set up by spammer for spammers tend to lose their intrest after a few weeks...a couple of months for Apolyton at the most...

C'mon Xuenay, isn't that S word the reason you started this thread j/k

[Xuenay]

If people lose interest, how come everybody is spamming Off-Topic?

What do we need another spam forum for? We've already got 36 of them!

[DanQ]

Sorry, no SPAM forum.

Why would anyone want a spam forum in the first place?

[Ming]

There are many other forums you can go to if all you want to do is spam. And many of them would appreciate the activity

There is already enough activity here...

Any forum "moderated" by Mark or Dan are the best to spam since they don't really give a **** any more.

[sammyboy7]

you could make it so that nobody got post counts for the time they were in the spam forum

"Any forum "moderated" by Mark or Dan are the best to spam since they don't really give a **** any more."

Nimrod:

I don't know where you come off making such a ludicrous statement as the one above, but it is simply not true.

Get a grip.

P.S. sammyboy7: that's not the point behind the decision.

[Urban Ranger]

Why a spam forum? All you do is to encourage spam. The sole purpose of spam is to increase post count. Right now spam is tolorated in some areas but not encouraged.

When you start a spam forum you can be assured that it can't be moderated, which means that you waste a lot of disk space for nothing.

So why not just give everybody a 5000 increase in post count, say, instead of having a spam forum? It serves the same purpose and is a whole lot cleaner.
