Spammers

[Qilue]

I've always assumed this forum was for for forum based issues and suggestions and with no place for mindless spamming.

Now I posted what I thought was a reasonable thread concerning the logout link, however that thread has since been spammed and locked. I'm not annoyed at whichever moderator locked it (a wise descision) but rather at those who spammed.

PS - I fully expect this thread to be spammed and locked as well.

In which case why waste your time creating it?

A futile gesture in the face of overwhelming odds.

Have you seen the DrSpam's Post Stat Challenge^TM? It is the ultimate in mindless spam, moderator sanctioned and the preserve of the Apolyton Community forum.

Have you seen the Picture thread? A thread created by an Admin full of mindless spam pictures, (excepting the several hundred pictures of Nikolai cavorting with Christian camp girls and putting his fork where is best left unmentioned - I mean, how can that be considered spam?). That too is the Community.

I think your idea of a spamless Community Forum with serious questions is case of overlyus optimisticus

[ColdWizard]

Hence why I usually don't even bother to read this forum anymore.

I think the poly moderation is perfectly well as it is.

I bet this poll will just tell us how many spammers there are in this forum

[Spiffor]

I don't go often to the A/C, but I believe that spam doesn't hinder too much the "asked and answered" aspect of things.

There are some threads that are entirely dedicated to spam (the post stat threads), but I see no problem with it.
I'd like it if the picture thread was purged of its spam, but I understand that it's a huge work for the mods. Certainly not worth the hassle.

[Skanky Burns]

Well to be fair, Spikie normally lets the thread fulfill its purpose - for others to answer the original question - before he starts spamming them.

long may the live

I think the poly mod-squad do a fine job.

Many, many people are interested in what Nikolai and his fork are up to.

One day we will get the real truth from the "pious Nikolai."

you are so totally right, its a damned shame whats become of this forum. By the way, we havent done a post stats thread lately, have we?

[DrSpike]

I think this forum is the most appropriate for a bit of community banter. Of course, when said banter causes threads to be closed then it's not good......in my view if the issues are not resolved Ming should post a warning rather than closing the thread, and this is often what he does.
