Spam

Postby Alistair » Wed Jul 12, 06 4:46 pm

Admins and Mods, please look into what "Spam" really is, I think alot of people are accused of wrongfully of spam even though it is not. Spam is intended to cause damage or to annoy others, somebody posting two random words in two random posts is not spam. It is not intended to cause damage. It is just stupidity aka "Junk". Please enforce seperate rules so others do not suffer the same consequences as others who do worse.

Not necassarily. The human mind cannot be forced to keep on one topic, regardles of what it is (yes, even NP topics). So the human mind strays from the topic. It is not considered a breakable law in this case; it is considered an imperfect quality, and 'tis only human. It's the great distance of how far it travels from the topic that matters.

I complimented that you were selfless, and it relates to this topic completely.

Rules of the forums create orderly topics so none of the physiological bullshit.

Excuse me if I stereotype anybody but all of you Admin's and Mod's on this forum are just full of crap when it comes to administering, seriously its really dumb. Since the best thing [A]lpha has in line for you is Administering you treat it like something you can abuse.

Nah, Spam is a load of crap ^^ and has no purpose, like "I like cheese" when talking about a dead relative is spam but something to cause damage to feelings is flaming and damage to software is hacking.

Lesson 1 over.
A CNN reporter, while interviewing a Marine Sniper, asked. "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?"
The Marine shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

Yes, this is true. SPAM means "Short Pointless Annoying Messages" so therefore one worded or just short and irrelevant posts ARE in fact Spam.

~[A]Daedalus~ wrote:Are one word posts spam or not, i believe deleting them is necessary.


Regardless of them being Spam, 1 worded posts are annoying, and are usually Spam as I've seen in this Forum. So I would agree totally if you were to delete one worded posts.

Some of you are missing the point completely in my message.

If I joined this forum and posted about a thousand times with a thousand topics, that is spam and deserves a sevre ban. One word posting is not spam, it should be deleted but if it does continue alot then it should be regarded that the person is "spammer"

Yeah, but we don't warn 1-word-posters for spamming. We warn them for one-word posting :lol:
