View Full Version : SPAM!!!
Ok, this is a serious proposal.
As the Community grows, we are going to get (hopefully) more and more people posting.
Even without growth, we have had some fools (myself included) make some silly/personal/spamtastic thread lately.
Why not Bring back the Spam section?
We had it when World of War was Big.
What harm can it do?
The way I see it maybe It will allow us more freedom, and less arguments.
Please, Bring back a Spam Section, for those of us who are just silly goofs.
agree/disagree?
harm/benefit?

me likes :D
when i hit "todays posts" and all of it is spam it pisses me off.
so lets make a section for spam.
it might not be needed, but it might help a bit,
and what harm can it do?
Exclude the Spam section from todays posts

I too favor this action. Less strict modding needed and basically anything goes. so to speak
yah anything goes, just leave your brain at the door

pro, definetly
BUT : posts shouldn't be shown in today's posts
nor should they add to your post count.

I would be largely in favor if the Spam section contained these two things.

I couldnt see anyone arguing against them.

i agree with this too, put a disclaimer at the top saying something around the lines of "this section is not being Moderated, Please post at your own risk."

I'm starting to wonder why we are all being ignored :-(
Maybe I need to Spam to be noticed.
I hope Prez reads this thread, as well as the numerous other threads asking for a spam section by a number of people.

or maybe there could be a "spam chatroom" where you go and spam wif peoplez that are on-line.......
oh wait.... that's called msn =p
but I kid.... spam forum is plausible-ish idea.... =/

Perhaps there are more important issues that i try to spend my limited time on. Like updates, and fixes and working out deals for members who blatantly "ignore" the rules and post as they wish.
I have noticed this section, but a decision has not been made at this time.. I will let you know when one has been reached..

ok, I can respect that, (indeed -Z- knows what respect is sometimes)
But, it doesnt seem to difficult to me to make a decision about it...
u just say to yourself, :
hm thats a good idea 19/20 community members agree...
And maybe it would solve a few of the stupid problems I face..."
Then u say to yourself "yes I am going to have a spam section"
or "no I will not have a spam section, I dont want any silly stuff of these forums"
Maybe its an issues of not having time to do the work...
O well.
Z
oh if it were so simple.
you have labor, ligistics, rules, moderation adn on and on and on...
19/20 = 95%. 95% of what, the community? im not so sure you have that type of backing for a spam forum, just a hunch.
I am personally a fan of Quality, not Quantity. I certainly remember the days of a Spam forum, and I think people have romanticized the idea somewhat. It wasn't all that great.

19/20 that i have spoken to, and that was just an aprox.
perhaps 17-18/20 is more realistic.
Labor... I would be willing to do it if u knew how, and what do u mean ligistics?, rules are simple in spam, there are none, its spam and no one cares.

I can agree that Quality should in most cases be held high above quantity, however we are talking separate issues
1) real discussion about topics and issues, in which we can all be informed on opinions, speculations, and serious matters.
2) SPAM about jokes, silly games, and wasting time. (we are a game, aiming at fun, and not everything serious I think)
Most forums have some sort of spam section, for kids (like me), and drunks (like ooga, and me), and for freaky weird people who want to just post silly stuff, (like me, and anton)
now...
I do not see what harm it would do...
I just hope that we can agree that it is a sound idea, and should be put back in when we can. maybe in 1 month, maybe in 9 month, but some time.
no?

Serious reply:
Does anyone here remember when Svenne shut down the Spam Forum because of that ******bag Belgian? I believe his name was Guy, but you actually replaced the 'u' with an 'a'. The Spam forum was so close to catching the RL forum in posts too! :(
He deleted all of our 'Should we keep the SPAM forum' polls we posted in the Suggestions forum and then Svenne got pissed at us and threatened to perm ban us all! :(
no but i think i do remember hearing about it

If he followed our directions carefully, he would have been ran over by a semi and now lies dead in a ditch.
