I'd like to point out that it's really annoying when people post in spam threads, can we please have a policy of deleting the whole thread to discourage this?

Once again. How much more annoying is it than a spam topic started by a "legitimate" member?Xylthixlm wrote:I'd like to point out that it's really annoying when people post in spam threads, can we please have a policy of deleting the whole thread to discourage this?
Given the drama that hangs around GD, the moychandising is relatively safe.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- shaft.ed

There's a difference between spamming in spam threads and posting in spam threads. So what if spam starts a topic of discussion?Xylthixlm wrote:I'd like to point out that it's really annoying when people post in spam threads, can we please have a policy of deleting the whole thread to discourage this?

You're confusing "spam" as in threads that have a lot of posts, with "spam" as in unsolicited commercial messages. Posting in the latter sort of threadVi wrote:Once again. How much more annoying is it than a spam topic started by a "legitimate" member?bumps it up to the top of the forum, thus making it incredibly more annyoing for people who do not come to mafiascum to see advertisements for fraudulent products. Every post you make in such a thread is aiding and abetting the original spammer in their attempt to draw attention they have no right to.

I don't come to ms to see advertisements for fraudulent drama either, but that doesn't stop those topics from going around.Xylthixlm wrote:

Let the links be deleted by a mod and let us continue making fun of the obviously fraudulent products. It's not like we're under a bot invasion.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- Vi

Two problems with this.The problem is posting in spam threads. It's not that you're spamming yourself, it's that you're aggravating the spam by bumping it to the top of the forum. If you want to have a real discussion about it,make a new thread.
One, we clearly don't want real discussion (at least at first) to come from bot topics. That's... kind of the point of making fun of them.
Two, making a new thread defeats the purpose because you're taking away the reason the discussion is occurring in the first place (namely, the bot attempting to advertise here).Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- shaft.ed

bumping that spam thread is the nested GD meme. Please do not delete that thread, I really enjoy it. It adds beauty and joy to my life.- Nuwen

You don't delete threads based on how interesting it is. If that was the case, I'm sure half the threads in GD would have been deleted. But seriously, I agree with Xyl. Ads for products on a site's forum is spam, and the person should be IP banned right away.Nuwen wrote:The spambot's thread is more interesting than xXXxxxXReckonerXxxxXxX's thread. We should delete that one instead.- Nuwen

On a more serious note. I do not care much. Mith will probably delete it and the whole thread. Thus making conversation deleted, problem solved.Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.- PokerFace
