    I've noticed that the spam here can get pretty out of hand. I've probably done my fair share around here as well. But I'm not sure how this forums priveleges work, but I was registered on one a while back and they had this same problem. What they did was lower their reputation down to -200. That took away almost every privelege they had. They needed approval before any post and such. Really cut down on the spam. And they had all their spam posts deleted. I'm not sure if you guys can do that, but if you can, it would really cut down on some of the spam. But you would need them to have their posts reviewed by one of you before they could do anything. Just an idea.

    Dear Post Whore (Nova),

    I love how you comment in the PYP. You throw in that Graphics section knowlegde... that vaaaaast, ahhh-mazing knowledge. 'You look fine, but the quality of the picture could be better.' Why don't you just throw in a rating too? That would just top it off, right thuuuuuuur.

    Hugs & Kisses,
    a girl that doesn't give a shiiit

    :/ I notice this stuff a lot too. Especially the copypasting. It's annoying because there are people who actually try to contribute while increasing their post count, and then there are spammers who have to annoy the hell out of everyone to increase their post count x.x.

    Lately, I have noticed an increase in the spammage of some sections. I can think of a topic the Creativity Corner that has a lot of spam, though I can't remember the name of that thread at the moment. Dx Also with the Introduction Section. I know you guys have warned people about copying and pasting greetings before, but lately I've noticed it getting pretty bad again.

    I'm glad to hear that the staff is doing something about all this unneccessary spamage. =)

    Thanks for doing this Kay. It's really bugging me how threads have been twisted with absolutely nothing useful to add to the context of the thread just for posts. Yes, I am talking about you Renegade. So yeah, glad something's being done.

    I think PYP thread should be in the spamzone when people decide to just post photos and not bother commenting other peoples, but that's just my opinion because I take my time and go through photos and comment and then it annoys me when others don't but meh.

    And as for Art and Graphics section, I don't really post in there except for the occasional drawing I might post but when people post 'I like it, 10/10 :):)' instead of giving proper CnC and totally ignoring when the maker of the thread specifically writes 'No ratings' that gets on my nerves too.

    And I admit, I think I've spammed before in sections where I shouldn't so sorry D:

    Do you mean by those people who, lets say, go into the New people section and just say "hello, welcome, read rules, bye", over and over again?

    I'm starting to hate that, it's more welcoming if you make a post relating to the new person's post so that they know that they can connect with you one way or another.

    Gotta disagree with you.If you move that thread to spam then folk can post anythin' it. I could post a picture of a kitten in a bikini n' say it's me. xD

    There is a group of members that constantly spam in there n' it's wouldn't be fair for the other members if it was moved 'cause of 'em. The PYP isn't always so spammy but when two or more members start there are others who think it's awright. The staff outta kick those members in the grotch before it gets outta hand. >:3

    Spam is never a good thing, especially in those sections where post count matters. And here's me who has been a member for nearly two years now and I still haven't reached premium D= At least I can't be accused of spam ;D I also avoid it by avoiding the Graphics section completely. Why post somewhere you know nothing about? If you want to say you like someone's graphic PM them. If you have constructive criticism on their work THEN and only then can you post.

    I totally agree.. Not that I've been really un-repetitive, but there's way too much of the spamming there and new members deserve better. The amount of times I see posts like what you said is getting sad..

    Thanx for the warning CtR

    So your saying for bag eggs we have to make them get approval for posts? Or are you saying getting post approval for all members? The first one looks possible then we can keep an eye on them, though that would be a hassle for both the member and us. The second one, hell no, too many members, too many posts, we would be spending 24/7 approving posts, it would defeat the idea of a forum.

    "Yeah, what he said :) :D"

    I'm sure by now that some members are noticing their posts slowly decreasing.

    I am actually really shocked with just how bad some of the spam is :/ and that is just from Intro Section.
