No spamming club! -

Did any of you guys notice the brilliant joke Sydney made"Oh,the irony!" In discussing what to do about spammers almost all of the replys were short, pointless spams that simply made the point someone else did a few minutes ago? Yaaaaay!

Yaaaay is not pointless. It shows emotion.

Good point pinky. But I do see alot of spam in other topics from you..

Capri Ream · #34 11-21-2001, 04:56 AM

Sounds like a cool idea! Can I join?

General Drippik · #35 11-21-2001, 05:00 AM

Yeah, you don't spam that often so you may as well.

Drippik, four words:

"Practise what you preach"

(I actually find it kind of ironically amusing that some of the worst offenders are creating a "no spamming" club...

Ditto on what Syd said, therefore...

Hmm... Your right Teal....BUT I DON'T GO IN THAT CATAGORY!!!!!!
yeah some of the top spammers have joined lol!!!

Rex Tirano · #38 11-21-2001, 02:30 PM

But if the ave joined that means they want to stop and help others stop too! Thats what it is aint it??

***Cloverfield*** · #39 11-21-2001, 02:44 PM

Teal, you beat me to it. I find it ironic that some of the worst offenders want to join also.

Well let's hope this is a chance for them to practice what they preach and start to set an example for others. If so, it will begin to make the forums a better place for all.

And that does not mean telling every single person off when you think something is spam, as if you do that, you are spamming also. By all means, tell someone off, but...

1. Ensure you are telling them off for a post that IS spam (I've seen some people told off for reasonable posts)
2. Try to do it constructively... i.e. add something relevant to the topic after telling them off... or tell them off with an explanation as to why they are spamming.

If you don't follow the above, then you are spamming too (this isn't directed to you Drippik, I think you understood my rant earlier today... it's just a warning for anyone else).

If unsure, leave it to an admin/mod, or send us an email.

I thoughtoff good and proper Hand reaches for cane* Like the good ald days!!
But I suppose that would be also spamming according to Abe Babes Rules!!

Rich · #41 11-21-2001, 03:54 PM

I just saw an example of 'Mistake' that hasn't been deleted. There is a topic on this off topic page called
'What is Spaming?' I saw the same topic a while back, look on page two of off topic to see the duplicate of 'What is Spaming'.

Cool Paramite · #42 11-21-2001, 03:59 PM

We will discuss people that spam.

Discus meeeeeee! I'm in a spamming mood! No, just joking. However, I recently spammed in topics like: "What is spam?", to give my definition of spam.

Sometimes, spam is funny. Don't ask me why. But I won't spam here. Because this is the
NO SPAMMING CLUB!

I spam all the time, but I try most of the time to say intresting things, but Englich is pretty hard so I don't write much, just the essencial

Cool Paramite · #44 11-21-2001, 04:04 PM

You don't write much and you reached over 1000 posts? Congratulations! Even with spam, my posts number slowly raises. Not that spam extremely much.

Rich · #45 11-21-2001, 04:07 PM

Cool Paramite, you allways looked like someone who wouldn't spam to me but now you've said that I might add you to my spammers list.

Joe the Intern · #50 11-22-2001, 05:18 AM

Hey Sydney, the irony is people spamming in the no spamming club!

***Alcar*** · #51 11-22-2001, 06:07 AM

But Joe by what you just said that was spam!

But hang on, by my saying that you were spamming, means that this post of mine is spam!!!!!!!

Cool Paramite · #52 11-22-2001, 10:07 AM

Your two posts were both not spam.

Sl'askia · #53 11-22-2001, 01:58 PM

Mind if this dragon joins in? I think it would be good if a Mod joins in don'ya think? (though my mod powers only work in FC *shrug*)

How's this for my tag? (I need a new saying anywho...)

Spam and I'll pound you! - Malice

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #54 11-22-2001, 03:54 PM

But Malice is evil, so surely he'd approve of Spam?

General Drippik · #55 11-22-2001, 07:28 PM

Yeah, I like that tag. Just make it bold itallic, like: Spam and I'll pound you - Malice

Teal · #56 11-22-2001, 09:34 PM

I forsee a painful future for you then, Drippik...

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #57 11-22-2001, 09:40 PM

Teal, don't say that....

Sl'askia · #58 11-22-2001, 11:06 PM

actually...Mal has gone soft on me...*shock music*

Malice: hey! I still kill!

Only when the scene requires it...

Malice: oh yeah...thats right...

General Drippik · #59 11-23-2001, 04:17 AM

Teal, do you have a problem with me? If you do, just say so, if you don't just shut the *@#$ up ok? Keep your stupid comments to yourself.

Teal · #60 11-23-2001, 04:39 AM

*shrug* Well, when you start to practise what you preach (ie don't spam) then maybe I won't make the idle comment here and there concerning your spamming. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but that's the way it is. After all, agreeing on a tagline of "Spam and I'll pound you - Malice" suggests you don't mind being pounded, which I guess would entail a somewhat painful future. Now keep your comments to your self, and we'll all be happy.
