No, I don't think so. Then again, perhaps we should be arguing about what to do about spam and activity problems, rather than arguing about why this topic is or isn't shite

I'd also like to complain about the wild and unnecessary post deleting spree that's ongoing. If complaining is OK, why not complain a lot? |

Then why not complain to a mod or admin? Generally, if a post is deleted, there is a reason for that. If you have issues about what certain mods or admins are doing, PMing someone who can do something about it would be a more appropriate action. |

Well I must say recently things have been getting better, and I guess we'll just have to settle with the for now.

I think in the War on the TDK, they can take over Spammith village, raze it to the ground, and then we can continue
@ CC, I haven't noticed any posts being deleted. |

It's cause I am back and all the spammers fear me. It is true to some extent. Lathaon is right, CC - PM a mod if you have a specific complaint. Deleted replies usually have a reason to be deleted! |

1) Nah, that might just provoke Dylan into spamming this place so much that Invisionfree delete it because it has become such a disgrace 2) Yeah... generally, when a post gets deleted, you can't see it any more :rolleyes: Actually, maybe if we make it so that Spamith is destroyed, but we don't tell Dylan about it :ph43r:

The problem is, I don't know who deleted it, and even though Alex didn't seem to delete it (I can't imagine him acting like it isn't deleted by him) I wouldn't want to look like an idiot. Maybe the Spam Pit should be hidden in some very hidden place, like the Mod HQ... nah, seriously, I vote for its deletion too. Illegal actions should not be encouraged, and some people should just live with the fact that they aren't allowed to burn the site down. |

Andy, Kirby and I are the only ones who have deleted posts in this topic! Now shut up about that and since the Spam Pit thing is relevant, i will talk about that instead. People seem to like to post pointless crap, and although it does not guarantee a spam-free TWC otherwise - it has definately helped Off Topic to stay clean of useless topics! |

Yes this is true, and it's not like it can all be contained within just on "spam topic" since it's enjoyable to hav multiple discussions, even if all of them are simply based around one's stupidity, at the same time. I don't really mind the spam pit, and I do notice that since it has been made, several members have been keeping to it pretty well for the most part

Well, it definitely gives some people a free breathing place for spam

Yes. One problem with the spam pit is that it gives license for people to post crap - thus encouraging them to continue their act. Whilst at the same time it helps contain on-topicness throughout the forum. It is on an extremely fine line. |

Maybe an explanation why not? Since Alex had some good points, you cannot just say "Nope". |

BOT: so, what should be done about spam, then? How harshly are the moderators planning to punish the spammers? |

Warnings are given first, then suspended i guess. Moderators try their best but its hard to check everywhere, so updates from people are really important. |
"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided! Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony! Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus | |

As far as I know the 3-strike system is being used in most rulebreakings, except very severe cases. |

Well, we originally planned to use that on Dylan when he returned. It was a suggestion I made in the High Counsil, and Kirby developed it. We intended it to work like this: 1. First offence results in Spam posts deleted. Warn Level increased 2. Repeat offence results in Spam posts deleted, and friendly PM sent from Administrator or Mod. Warn Level increased. 3. Final offence results in Spam posts deleted, friendly PM sent from Administrator or Mod, with a suspension (usually 2/3 days, just to cool off). That's how I have always seen it, at least. I don't treat constant spammers in any different way - why give them special attention? |
