Spam?!

I'm actually pretty sure this has been done before, but...

Answer honestly: Would you like EoFF to have a "SPAM!!" forum, or no?

My answer: No. I can't stand the thought of EoFF having a grody little gutter forum. I like that it's mostly nice and clean here. If I want to spam, there are other, smaller, and more manageble message boards that allow it, so I'll go there.

Disclaimer: The EoFF staff is not considering adding a spam forum. It's nice to know what the members think, but most (if not all) of the staff is violently against the implimentation of a spam forum.

No.

I prefer indy EoFF spam boards.

Eww. No thanks. EoFF just wouldn't be the same with a spam forum. The last time such a forum existed, it was a disaster! Don't ever bring back the b forum.

General Disscussion is already full of it.

its silly. :] but neat.

Spam forums are not sophisticated. And that is what we are, man.

Against it. The interwebz is serious business. Not the place for your little Word Association threads and ^ < V threads. Hmph.


Besides, we have user notes.

I don't care much either way, because I can go other places to spam. Also, assuming the same language restrictions would apply in the spam forum, that would take some of the fun out of it. But I don't think having a spam forum would necessarily degrade EoFF as a whole. It may or may not cause less spam in other parts of the forum. I haven't had enough experience with boards with a dedicated spam forum to make much of an educated statement on the matter.

Yes, I'm for abortions. I mean, what?

Haha! So far I'm the only one who voted "yes."

I've seen one board that had a spam forum, and it looked really fun. It looked like a great way to vent your frustration when you just feel like being goofy.

It is as terrible as having another EoEo.

EDIT: I just learned the beauty of the x-quote button.

User notes fulfill my spam desires well enough.

Hell freakin' no.

YES! It should, though then again general chat is pretty spammy.

Change General Chat to General Spam Chat.

No.

We had one, but then they closed FeedBack.

And if you ever put up a spam forum I would have to slap you with my pimp hand until you get rid of it. This would become a breeding ground for annoying people who will do nothing but spam up the rest of my threads, with spam far worse than the most horridly done of spam we have now. There would be no more good spam, and that would sadden me so.

My spam needs are fulfilled by General Chat. What would be the point of a spam forum? It seems like a rather foolish idea.

I think a compromise should be made. Instead of an all out spam forum we should just lift the spam restrictions on EoEO. That would make this place a whole hell of a lot better.

Or, you know, bring back the Feedback Forum.

xD, just kidding!

If you make a spam forum, I'm coming to your houses with napalm.

I'd threaten to leave if a spam forum was made, but I don't want to encourage anyone.

No. I don’t think EoFF is above having a spam forum, but I also don’t think a spam forum will do EoFF any justice.

I am voting ‘Yes.’, because I think ‘No.’ may be a little too bold for my poll tastes.

And then what, oh merciful one?

Wait? You mean General Chat already wasn't a spam forum?

What a silly question. Of course the answer is No to a Spam Forum for EoFF. :)

I would have liked a spam forum before I found out about user notes, and it still might be fun.

BUT, Spam is a corruptor of decent writing, and it is an absolute absence of thought, and it demeans the entire purpose of coming to a place like this.

In truth, spam is an atrocity. It is an addictive atrocirty that spreads like AIDS, and has been the death of some forums I've seen. Legalizing it with an entir forum could cause the death of this one here.

General chat is enough. You can see the effects of general chat spamminess permeate the other forums. Imagine the shock waves from a truly SPAM forum.

general chat is enough fun and not out of control. a spam forum would give EoFF a bad name if the language rescrictions weren't in place and overall i just dont like it. there are other places where people can waste time spamming.

the trick is to make your spam look like meaningful posts. then you cna spam in every forum.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

Having a Spam Forum is an absolutely terrible idea because low quality Spam is for absolute thicko's and unfunny people. People who willingly and openly Spam do so because THEY think is highly amusing and witty when the vast majority of people do not.

If you want to do Spam then the 'art' of it is to disguise it as an educated opinion on a certain topic while not really expressing an opinion well at all, something Quin N Tonic does to great effect.

And there is a 'Spam sub-Forum' of sorts for every Member anyway. Their UserNotes. The staff almost never complain what it is said in UsernNotes (unless it is posting rude links or harrassing a member) and anything often goes in UserNotes.

Having a Spam Forum is a dreadful idea and would reduce the overall quality of EoFF Forum as a whole. Please never introduce such a thing. You will lose far too many 'good' members and instead have a deluge of ignoramuses from other Forums intent on posting random idiocy.

I said yes, because I'm a prick.

I said yes because I am currently posting in the spam forum. It is just a :skull::skull::skull::skull:ty spam forum.

It would be horrible, and General Chat would turn into something aweful.

No. :bigsmile:

I dont think that much spam can do any harm, but it might cover the true wonder of this forum if it was alwwed, so i vote NO!

There is so much spam in general now, I don't see what the need would be.

No, too many people attempt who aren't actually funny try to be funny by making rubbish spam posts. Spam posts are only good when they're by somebody who is actually funny. :heart:

also that! :jess:

Yes. That way, all the rubbish spammers will go in the Spam forum, which I can avoid. I won't have to see any more posts from that silly Yamaneko person. :)

um no duh, *quotes everything that's already been said against a spam forum*

No, because there are no more good spammers left. ;o

Did Rye just insult me? :confused:

I'm not voting but I'll go ahead and say no. I agree with the points made on usernotes.

No, because EoFF already has user notes amd PM's.

If EoFF had a spam forum no one would go anywhere else.

I'll say yes, but with a caveat. It's have to still be moderated...just not as stringently. Random is cool, but offensive is not.

Not really. This forum is all nice and fancy, and a spam thread would just screw that up. However, it would become another victory for this one friend I have that says every place has a ghetto.

No

>>> Spam deserve a thread or two not a whole forum..

The mindless spam (something like this: iouq36b8oqc83bx34bquqbft4boq3tyuxfxxtnf3tnx3fqxfoqx3utnf3otftt3qtyu3tyu47477834786346783467467367834 678346784367834678) is the best..
