    Default Usernotes

    Is it just me or have usernotes become a useless outlet for spam?

    I don't really like 'em much, Yams I believe is openly against them, but overall I guess they aren't doing any real harm. At least I don't think they are.

    HURRAY HURRAY ANOTHER USER NOTE BASHING THREAD! My favourite!

    If the spam doesn't go in user notes, it'll go elsewhere, ruining good discussion topics and even bad discussion topics. If it upsets you or offends you, then don't go on them and be thankful that they are the floodgates protecting your humble and fragile little world from a tidal wave of spam.

    If the usernotes do get removed, I assure you, we will be no more (or less) tolerant of in-thread spam.

    It doesn't matter how tolerant you are, because people are always going to break rules regardless. And if the tolerance levels won't change, does this mean that there will be no punishment for spamming as the current punishment for spamming is a user note banning?

    Please remove them, it'll save a lot of db space and *snip* saving even more db space! Sean'll be rich before we know it!

    A martyr for the cause indeed.

    EDIT: Also with the VB 3.5, I noticed I couldn't give myself a usernote

    PiP, keep vB3.5 stuff to the vB3.5 test forum - that's why I have that forum at all.

    The thing that makes usernote spam not as bad as thread spam is the usernote spam is much easier to avoid. Simply don't click on usernotes.

    Let him cry, usernotes suck. Such a waste of band-width and Cids paycheck.
