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!

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... )

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.

Abe Babe...

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'.

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!

*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.
