any ideas?


Not make threads like this.


rofl, may i ask in what way you mean it?


 Spammers want one thing: attention.

When you make threads like this, when you make silly little responses to their comments, when you write nasty things on their wall, all of those things make them happy.

The absolute best way to combat a spammer is to ignore them. 

  1. Don't make threads asking about them.
  2. Don't make threads asking how to stop them.
  3. Don't respond to their posts.
  4. Don't write on their wall.
  5. Report their posts when you see them.
That is all you should do and nothing else.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

just ignore them, thats the best i got



highwaystar101, it's freaking me out that I keep getting drawn in by your signature animation? Every topic you touch turns into a sonic and knuckles porn fest.




We should just all ignore him.

Why is he banned anyway?

Mods have more and more powers to ban spammers. There is a 30s limit on posting, mods can check email addresses of all users to identify spammers, only unique email addresses can be used to signup and I can IP block if I see fit.

The best thing for people to do is ignore the loser and he will soon get bored.

I agree completely. The bigger the deal we make of whoever it is, the more likely it will feed their frenzy. Just let the person say their peace and do what they want to do and they will eventually go away out of dis-interest. No more threads about it and if there are site problems fix it and let it be so that we don't give the publicity they are looking for.
