What's not nice is that sometimes people don't remove the first set of tags when they correct their sig and then that creates some problems. At least for me it does because I end up not being able to see anything in a thread past that person's post and then I have to go back in and edit it again.Quote:

The type of spam I don't tolerate is when two or three members talk back and forth about nothing in particular, as if it were a private conversation. Spam is good, but when people are doing it all the time it loses its charm quickly. The best spammers are the ones who don't draw attention to themselves, but that is just personal opinion. :D
Hey Del, how's it going?
If the staff want to delete spammy posts made by me, I'm not especially bothered anymore to be honest. The fun comes from making the posts, not keeping them there for all eternity.
Although as a preventative measure I don't think it's very effective as it would probably just want to make people spam more, perhaps motivated by a sense of competition with the staff. So yeah, I think that unless it's being done for aesthetic reasons rather than preventative reasons, it's not a good idea.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go make a 500 post spam topic in the FF:CC forum.
way to suck, Yams. See why you are the worst knight? You probably don't you stupid moron. Take it to PM.
PMs are for suckas. :monster: eest, did you see that post I made in staff telling Del to shut it? :D
I did just now. nice work.
I like it when the CKs leave the post but put little messeges in them. The more creative the better.
Sometimes we still do leave little messages in the deletion notices, but only we can see those so you guys miss the jokes. :( Sometimes it's better that way though.
Psy: We have banned people for spam before. You can see it as competition but it's, well, not. It's more aesthetic than preventative for the most part, but it's still preventative overall. If people want to break rules and think it's competition, they'll end up like HOORJ or mlp.
then leave a message to them to make sure they don't remove the end tag. Or get the admins to work in a pair of comment tags immediately after people's signatures, which should automatically end that problem once and for all.Quote:

man, if you're lazier than I am that makes you really goddamn lazy, seeing as my laziness is a running joke at Fool's Gold. But whatever.
I don't see it as competition! I may have used to (I still haven't forgiven Proto for the MAPS incident :p) but I said I figured a lot of people may see it that way. But maybe they won't, it's just how I see it.Quote:
