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.

Great, people are now bumping that petermary imitator.

What did I just say? xD

Right, NO ONE bump their next thread, nor give any attention (Only talk about it when a mod is in the shoutbox, or you REALLY have to announce something about it.) Just report and go.

They'll stop eventually this way. If you are bumping, you are only feeding their greed for attention.

People that bump this shit deserve to be warned.

Why not ? If anything it's gonna help the mods find the thread and take it down.

Neh, reported it already. You two have good points, but if more people notice it, the more reports the mods will receive.

bumping spam increases visibility which is what you don't want.

That's not true. the mods have a report system for a reason, the reports will lead them to the post/thread in question.
