[Fiestafan]Cracking Down on Spam
 

The mods have been discussing it and we think this place is getting a little too spammy.
So... we are going to start cracking down on the threads a little more. For the time being, the method we see best is making a new thread, and then merge all of the spammy posts from the previous thread into the new thread, which will always be found in the Mountain of Spam section. Thus you can continue your spammy discussion, confusion free!
Like blahs has said in the past, you guys might think we're being a bit up-tight. We're not trying to be, we're just trying to keep this place a little more organized. We could also really use everyones help. If you see a thread moving off topic and getting spammy, please PM a moderator with a link to the thread.

If there are any questions, ask here or PM any of the moderators.

Finally! We'll you can count on me to be the Spam patrol!

Bravo! Spam control!

I stopped spamming... -coughprettymuchcough- >.>;;


Spam is naiz.

I thought it was going to be 'Cracking down on crime'.

I was close.

^Spam.

D:

So... you'll make a new thread with the same name as the one that has all the spam in it?? Because I'm not getting this =/

Scruff Mcgruff, spam hound. =[

Not really as technically spam = infraction making it a FF Crime.

Ha.

Take a bite out of cyber crime!(spamming)

LMAO

Yeah, I kinda felt like some people were just posting stuff to increase post count, at least it seemed like since there post just said what others had already said but without any personal opinion

Going off topic counts as spam too.

But, isn't going off topic what makes this forum so fun?

Thats what MoS is for! You can go off topic all you want on there ^^

When will a topic be moved to the MoS. I mean after how many pages of spam?

Or how is this really gonna work. Would necroposting also be considered spam?!

Mods have the ability to yoink posts from a thread and move them to another thread. When we move them, we have the option to make a new thread, or move them to an existing thread.
As for necroposting, we just close the thread.

Oh okay. Cool.

Hey... this is only seen as good in my eyes!

At least you are keeping the thread open for discussion, just moving the location.

Not like those crazy CL's on the offical forums! They just up and close the thread if they don't like what you said.

We try not to close threads unless it is necro'ed or in direct violation to ToS or our rules. If it is something that we can edit and let the conversation continue, we prefer to do that.

We're not moving the entire thread. We're just taking out the posts that have nothing to do with the thread.

Like.. for instance, lets say we're discussing Giant Goblin King, and how he always pwns our butts. Then someone comes in and asks how to buy a new colored house.

Hm...
