    So it has come to our attention that some of you are whoring the hell out of your posts and doing some rather silly things to increase your post counts.

    This will stop now. Or action will be taken.

    Over this weekend I myself shall be going through the accounts of the biggest spammers (and yes we know exactly who you are) and deleting any of your posts that do not contribute or add to the threads.


    The same applies to the current flood of "copy paste" replies whereby members are simply putting the same basic message again and again in their posts.


    Consider this a verbal warning.

    Seriously? 0.0

    That's kinda...pathetic if you ask me. "LOL I HAVE MORE POST ON AN INTERNET FORUM THEN YOU"

    But maybe that's just me <.<

    Yes seriously.

    :/ and we the staff have become very tired of it.

    It is also seriously damaging some sections, for example; Arts and Graphics.

    Well if its getting that bad that you have to work extra hard looking for spammers then why not just ban anybody that does it a set number of times? That works quite logically that would show them not to. If you delete their posts they can just repost them.

    I am about to go through that thread again now. I am tempted to move it to spam in all honesty.

    You bloody hypocrite xD you are one of the worst for it.

    I'm not better than anyone just because I have a higher post count than them.

    I would move the picture thread to spam. Some do comment honestly on the pics, but alot usually take advantage of it.

    The PYP thread is horribly spammy. Makes a kitty cry. T__T

    You can't ban a member for spammin'. That member would have to have recieved several warnin's before hand.

    Will be on the look out! *salutes*

    but then it would be spammed >:
    it would go from

    "Here's a picture of me!" to a reply "my dog ate bacon"
    (xD wtf?)
    or something like that o.o

    You said I was a hypocrite when I mentioned the "god" concept about posting.

    lolwut? xD She explained why you're a hypocrite. xD

    N' movin' the PYP thread to spam would create more spam as Cupcake said. Oh yes, you're still a cupcake to me.

    Perhaps rewritin' the rules n' keepin' a closer eye on it would help.

    I have an idea to resolve the spam in the Picture thread, close that one and un-sticky it, then make anothe one with strict (and I mean very strict) rules against spamming. Fear is what you need to control people.

    That is true. xD

    Really, it's not fair to move it due to several members spammin' in it. Just...beat 'em with a warnin' across the face. xD
