DO NOT BUMP SPAM

[p1ngpong]

As many regular visitors of the site know we are forever waging a war against spam bots here. We are generally quick to exterminate them and their threads thanks to quick reporting by our members and vigilance by the moderating team and I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to bring spambots to our attention.

However tonight something happened that genuinely made me both angry and disappointed at the same time and also made me question the common sense of some of our most prolific and well known members.

A porn spambot made a thread on the forum with graphic images and links in its opening post. People proceeded to post in this thread not once or twice, but nine times.

So this thread was bumped to the top of the latest discussion tab and given more views nine times with idiotic posts ranging from the usual "reported" to people just thinking they are funny.

Let me make it clear:

DO NOT BUMP OBVIOUS SPAM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS PORNOGRAPHIC!

Just report it!

Thanks.

I am going to take a few hours out to calm down before I take any action if any on the people who bumped that last thread, my immediate reaction being to suspend you all for your stupidity.

There was some dude just now, who spamed something on the Introduction Section, but Mods were pretty quick. Respect!

Guys stop bumping margen's spam threads. We don't want that showing up in the recent content list.

We should seriously just outright suspend people for bumping spam threads. Because it's pretty clear people just ignore stickies and will just keep bumping spam.

Its about time we get serious about this, I used to love coming to the temp but staff really need to get a little happy with the ban hammer.
The front page at the moment is ridiculous, literally have some guy sign up to spam, I don't think username bans will do the job, it bans need to be in effect.
Noon questions need to stop when the answer already exists. This all seriously need to stop and that won't happen unless someone man's up a little

They're not margen's threads.
And don't assume they are, it's really rude.

Agreed. Is it so hard to just report it?

Don't assume that the person very recently banned and clearly angry about it would come back to spam the forums like it happens very often? How rude!

What if people never saw this sticky before because they didn't even knewd this thread existed?

I do report, but I think mods need to get a little serious as well. Go a little no mercy on it

Guy's If it is indeed margin is is most likely using tor. Prepare for a long night guys!

It's still extermely rude to jump to conclusions like that.

The first @john joe account was made before @Margen67 was banned.

 

[BurningDesire]
