End of the Spamfest
Posted: 23 Nov 2009, 22:25
There's too much spamming going on the [FGS] boards lately which makes many people end up not giving a damn about what's going on anymore.
My requests are the following;
- Stop posting topics that even the author knows are completely pointless
- Stop reviving old topics unless you have a very good reason to do so like updating it with useful information. Don't revive them if all you have to say is spam or completely irrelevant
- Stop using the forum for real time chatting, we've got quite a few chat softwares out there for doing that
- Stop spamming topics that are not in the spam section
- Stop posting just to increase your post count
While I do realise that even I spammed a lot lately, I believe it has crossed a line, we should stop now.
I suggest limiting the number of spam topics to 5/day (Including OBC material). Should we face more topics of such than 5, the older topics get locked. For instance if there are 6 active topics in the spam section the oldest topic gets locked so the other 5 can go on.
With the permission of a forum administrator I recommend this new system to start by tomorrow.
