[The Call of Snapcase]

A damn little Spammer, more like. There are at least three places I've seen this. Could you warn him, or possibly just ban him?

[Andz83]

spam? this is no spam!!!

I just wanted to tell the ones who contributed to the special discussions how good I find it that there are still threads left where the people don't only spam but also have good discussion. OK, what I did might appear like spam, but that's only because I tried to express my thoughts on a bit strange way...

sorry for that, admins, it wasn't very clever. I'm just very content with such discussions. surely it's not very intelligent to use always the same post. perhaps I'll even create a thread on that issue (that there are still good discussions left)

trust me, my mates, I didn't just want to increase ,y post count... BTW, there were more than only 3 or 4 such posts, it should have been about 7 I think.

is this really considered spam? that someone expresses his feelings and thoughts in a stupid and cheap way? I think I go and opeen a thread in the OT to tell the people how content I am with good discussions at Apolyton Civilization Site, so that

1. more people can see it
2. noone will call me a spammer

sorry again

Spam, spam, spam, that is all it is Don't worry three-lettered-newbie-who's-name-I-can't-remember, I'm sure our very own Ming o Markos will sort 'em out

[The Call of Snapcase]

Pah! He's just trying to evade justice. I could also post a lot of repetetive, spammy messages in every thread to boost my post count and make some stupid excuse for it afterwards. He's lying through his tee-- er, the tips of his fingers.

hint: You use "--bump--" if you're trying to make a (very) low thread go up. Otherwise, you either contribute something sensible or shut it up. And you do not post how interesting a "discussion" was in a thread with no discussion, like the the Free ToT thread. This behaviour would be excusable in a new poster not aware of the rules, but not in someone with a king status.

I need to get a life!!!
But ...
The outcome of a little research using the Search Engine reveals not 7 but 14 in
AC - Help
Alternative Civilizations
Civ3 - General Suggestions * 3
CtP - Strategy
Off Topic * 4
Other Games / Civ Comparison * 4
Something of an overkill methinks ...

[serious mode]can we have the all threads search back as one of the options please??[/serious mode]

may there have been 14 or 200 or whatever, that's totally unimportant. I tell you, fellows, it was a real try to show the people how surprised I am about their ability to have good discussions

I opened a thread on that issue in the OT, you can post in there if you want

and those who think that I just want to evade justice: you don't know anything about my purposes while posting here! but blaming me for spamming is just.. terrible! I can't get it! I make a mistake and admit it but my online-mates just want to lynch me!

even you, richard? I'm deceived, really!

I won't do it again, I promise. whenever I want to express my thoughts on such an issue I'll open a thread on it, OK?

[Provost Harrison]

yeah, right Andz, you weren't spamming at all

[Andz83]

listen, mates! my purpose was not to make anything silly and stupid, or to spam. my purpose was to express my thoughts, I just did it in a silly way!

and I won't let some guys who didn't manage to get a girl at the biblical age of 23 instruct me about my posting style!

snapcase is right when he says that one wouldn't expect such a behaviour of someone with King status! I admitted that what I did was wrong. what do you want more? shall I go to the admin and say "please ban me, I spammed!"?

I don't think that you can compare what I did with that what happens every day in the OT!! spam is when someone says "hehe, let's piss the admins" and then posts something silly intentionally.

what I did was posting something silly for showing how pleased I am about the level of discussion at Apolyton. won't you just understand this?

[Scouse Gits]

OK Andz - I'll buy it. My apologies for suggesting that you had an ulterior motive.
Pax

finally, some very intelligent person understood

I accept your apologies, Scouse Gits!

and thank you, may all the others follow your example and see the pain that is aching so deep in me actually I really hope that you understand my situation.

and one more time - sorry for my silly way of posting!
