  • A Sticky - Contact Mods to Kill Spam

Hello everyone,

Though these forums arnt very big, Im sure they will begin to grow as the game does, and once they do, theres going to be more places for spammed threads to live

I have an idea for a way we can help the mods deal with threads like these

In the General Forum there should be a sticky called (or something along the lines)
"Forum Spam"

In here you will write posts of a spammy thread with the following :
1) Thread title
2) Sub Forum Location
3) Reason

The Mods can then use this sticky as a means of finding the spam as fast as possible since all they have to do is view this sticky to find exactly where they are.

And after dealing with the situation (or right before they do), they can simply hide/delete the post in which they replied to

Anyways, give me your thoughts

I find it ironic how you say you dont find much spam in these forums yet you call a thread such as mine spam. If you go with that sort of mindset, then you would soon find that many threads are spam in your opinion

As for the mods, im new so I assumed that the mods here had the power to do what my suggestion suggested

Also, it seems to become a growing popularity to gain the lead in these forums where people are beginning to classify everything (other then their own) threads as spam

I have one. First, the responsibility of recognising and acting upon a spam thread is the mods and the mods alone. I for one am quite sure they are up to the tast as soon as TNF gives the mods most on the forums the power to do this. Unfortunately, the mods most on the forums are trail mods, I haven't seen the other expert mods that much lately. The thing to do therefore seems to upgrade the trail mods.

As for spam. First, I believe the problem of spam on this forum to be overrated. I have seen only a few spam threads. Secondly, I think the problem of spam will go away when people realise they make themselves ridiculous by doing it.

In short, I don't think a thread for ratting on spam is necessary. Furthermore, stop spamming the suggestions forum!
