And not post when you've been banned. Have a bit of integrity.
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?
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?

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:You're confusing "spam" as in threads that have a lot of posts, with "spam" as in unsolicited commercial messages.

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.
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.

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.
