    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Did Rye just insult me?

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

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