The biggest spammer on Apolyton!

[Demented Lemming]

Ecthelion.

I am sick of seeing him post his crappy smilies five times in a row. I am not normally one to complain, but I think he has gone too far. It degrades the forum to allow this immature behaviour.

[Shlongo]

I agree, this guy gets away with murder! I thought it was against the forum guidelines to spam that much.

[Caligastia]

So I am not the only one who thinks he has got out of hand lately. Ever since that thread asking where he is was created he has been spamming with a vengeance!

[Demented Lemming]

Anyone else out there think this has gone too far?

[Chris 62]

You shouldn't do this on a public forum. If you have a complaint about a poster, take it to a moderator in private.

Also, if you pay attention, he's been warned twice today.

A little later, when I have time, I'll do a search of what posts he's made since the time of the last warning. Then I'll decide what to do about it.

I prefer public accusations, brother Yank...a person should have to face the music and be allowed to know his/her accusers.
I think private complaints are kind of lame, personally.

I totally agree. The "Lancer" approach to whining is rather cowardly- if you have a complaint, say it straight to the face of the person you're complaining about instead of sneaking behind his back. Let him know who his enemies are.

And Andy is not that bad. There are worse offenses than a bit of mindless funposting...

[Chris 62]

I disagree, fellows. It can only lead to hard feelings between the accuser and the accsued. If you disire to be the one who points out someone else's flaws, you could certainly post that after action is taken. A warning on the sly can be more effective then a public dressing down of someone.

I'd rather have enemies than false friends that betray me behind my back.

[Chris 62]

You can make that call, Snap, but public or not, I don't think someone who is complaining about someone else are ever really friends to begin with.

[Ceci n'est pas Snapcase]

No, but I know from real life experience that it's perfectly possible to appear to be someone's friend while all the time actually disliking that person. I have been guilty of this myself, and I've had it done against me more times than I can imagine. Dishonesty is never a good thing, and complaining about a person but not to him is, in my mind, a form of dishonesty.

[Demented Lemming]

I really dont care what he thinks of me if I complain publicly, so thats why I am creating this thread. I think we should make an example of this young whipper-snapper! Spam will not be tolerated on this forum.

[Ceci n'est pas Snapcase]

I'm not having this debate with you, DL.

[Chris 62]

I can't disagree with that either, Snap, as I have seen it done to many times myself. I prefer to be straightfoward with people, and if I dislike them, they find out about it quickly. Andy is a bit of a kid who goes overboard at times, but he's not a bad guy. Besides, I just think it's ill-mannered to attack someone openly in such a forum. Has the DL tried talking to him directly? If you challenge someone out in the open, they feel honor bound to defend their position, for appearences sake, if nothing else. If you appraoch them in confidense, and explain why you dislike their behaviuor, you can often get better results.
