Was that anything to do with the site being temporarily closed for maintainance earlier this afternoon ? I hadn't noticed any SPAM threads (or is this one - perhaps I shouldn't be replying :lol: )

Did you say something? :lookaroun

I couldn't hear him either. Does SPAM constitute a thread that has been discussed before? Why can't you lock it?

SPAM in this case is referring to things like:

"Click this link to win a free IPOD"

"Go here to get half price Nintendo"

It is basically posts that have no relevance to the subject of the forum.

Repeating previous threads is not SPAM, unless done constantly by the same individual.

Hope that answers your question.

 

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

Your link to win the IPOD isn't working :lol:

Can I post links explaining in detail why Jesus loves white people the best, as long as I don't ask you to buy anything? :lookaroun


(Yeah, I'm approaching that line. I can feeeeel it.)

who would do that on a message board?:brick:

can't you suspend their account for doing that?

 

[WDWBro]

Well then I guess my free money thread will get closed, jk!

Yes the accounts would be suspended and the threads removed.

it happened recently as i recall, the threads were there for almost a day before getting pulled

i'd like to pull in a phrase from another web community that i belong too. when someone comes up with a theory or rumor or observation that's been made before, or is just mirroring the general consesus at the time, you say its "trout"

its not an insult, or meant to disparage, just to say "hey dude, it's been brought up, thanks though" an explanation is here:
http://www.smirkbox.com/trout.html
you can even add a little pic of a smiley getting hit by a fish for emphasis, the rule though, is that you have to provide the poster a link for where the information's been posted before

that way we can keep spam relegated to spam, and not accuse anyone of spamming when they're just posting

This seems like a good time to bump this thread.

When problematic threads are started, please do not reply to them with your comments. Everytime you reply, you push the thread to the top of the heap and it stays in the forefront like the OP wants. Simply report the thread and a moderator will take care of it, sometimes faster than you think.

bump

 

[wdwishes2005]

Told all the thick people that kept bumping it to stop. Even if a mod is not on the members can push the thread off the front page at least..

 

[unkadug]

Thought this needed bumping immediately. :wave:
