Can I ask a favor of all. Can we limit the spams threads pls. Most all I see now is spam. And it gets very frustrating to read something that might have a point and their is none.

This is in all forums. A majority of the posts are spam and nothing relevant and by god.

Hehe good luck. Odds are very likely that you have just created another place for the spammers to exploit their skills.

It's the nature of the beast. If a post starts off with a point it usually gets made or answered within the first 6 replys. After that it's usually SPAM all the way.

I know I am one of those spammers. I will probably end up finding something else to do with my time. Not much to do right now though. Won't be in game that much. So I normally just spam the forums.

I promise I won't spam this specific topic with the usual junk I post. We can discuss the theories of Einstein though.

correct me if i am wrong but isn't Spam part of the fun or showing that people are having fun. Maybe perhaps the topic has been exhausted and something random comes up that people enjoy talking about more. Just a humble milkman stating his humble ideas

Yeah, I had that one too for a while Now it is just a red x in a white rectangle. Some weird ad likes to pop up from the bottom. Could that be a Ville Ad?

The question is not rather the spam is bad or good. It's is the spam on our side?

We discussed this last night in IM DK. With all the carp going on in the forums lately the spam was just a way to lighten up the mood around here. Seeing nothing but negativity was depressing. People at each others throats wasn't cool either. Goofing around and cracking jokes on friends was a good way of relieving the tension.


This post was not intended for spam. #Fist those that have spammed this thread. There are plenty of posts intended for spam, I have posted each of them many times . Let's just try not to do it on this one like DK asked

I think the hard truth is this:

General Ramblings = Spam Forum

Or, in other words, the motto of many of us is:

"I SPAM, THEREFORE I AM!"

There has been mucho spammage lately.

I agree it has lightened the mood so that's a good thing. It will die down.

You think there has been a lot os shpam lately? I see USV threads as well. You have no idea what shpam is.
