Forums - Website Topics - The Rise of Spam

You asked for a permaban and you're back after a few days, dsister always leaves, just attention seeking. Who else has left?

The wall posting picture marathon is very annoying, but not much else has changed spam wise from what I can tell.

It would be nice actually for a lot of the random comments like 'nice thread' or 'I agree' etc to be removed because they don't have the lulz. I won't let you take my lulz though!



Tease.

Am I the only one who likes spam?  The stuff is excellent when you fry it up in a pan with cheese on top!

 

 

 

But seriously I don't see a problem with most of the spam we get because there is nothing wrong with funny threads (spam on this website is usually at least mildly humorous) especially considering we have plenty of threads with good conversation.

Now I do agree some types of spam are just annoying.  But honestly can you say you've never spammed before?

Yes. I've spammed before. I was a pretty bad spammer too.

This was a few years ago. You know what happened?

I got slapped with a ban. 

I have matured, and yet considering the fact that these are adults doing much of the spamming, I don't expect much maturation.

And I already told the problem with the spam.

It tries to conquer everything. What was once supposed to be a good discussion gets destroyed with spam. With some stupid pictures always posted by the same dozen users.

This happens. Don't try to deny it. That's why I don't like it. That's why I bloody hate it.

@Kantor

This bad? I've been on this site for almost 4 years, and I've never seen it this bad. An absolute explosion of it coupled with apathetic mods leads to horror.

@Seece

I didn't ask to be perma'd. And dsister was rather definitive with this one.

I will never leave you

I read the whole thing this time.

All I have to say is while spam is annoying sometimes it can often be really funny and make the thread a lot better. Of course there's a time to spam (like in the off topic section) and a time to be serious.

Exactly. In a serious topic, four out of five people shouldn't be posting 'funny' comments instead of serious ones. I like funny, I just want to keep it seperate from serious unless funny is also serious. Usually it's not.



I think all of this is just a result of the site getting more popular.

Why are you banned then? What happened?



Upps sorry double post...

Excellently phrased...

@Shadow: I requested for a 90 day ban.

And now, this thread is dead. My brief stint is up.

See you again (maybe).
