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.

Bump. Some people still aren't getting it.

Bump. Some people still aren't getting it.

Maybe it would help to put some kind of a notice on the front page?

How about a weekly article on the front page that is a "Best of Spammers" with screenshots of the idiots in action spam? Have a poll inside of the article to vote for our favorite and archive the polls in a separate section called the EoS (End of Stupid/Spam)

What about all the people who replied to this thread though?

Well... we're helping to get the message across

I think you are severely underestimating the stupidity of those people. I mean, I never would have thought it was even remotely necessary to create a thread to tell people to use a wee bit of common sense.

I love my Brian, but I don't like random adverts :3

Thread title. I know you're new here, but just saying.

Quick question, was the "Brian" intentional?

Were you referring to the thread that was deleted just now?

All of them. In the past, present, and the future.

Don't think you can manipulate me just easily like that. I'll ask the question wherever I want to. It's a free world, and unless I'm threatened with a suspension, I will be more than happy to ask just one question to Tomato Hentai, personally, in a spam thread that's gonna be deleted anyway.

Don't bump spam threads. "Asking a question" is still making a reply and bumping the thread. Do not post in spam threads, do not increase the visibility of spam threads. Report and move on.

Just a note, the world might be a free place, sure, but GBAtemp is a closed society. You abide by the rules set here, or you don't continue to exist here.

It was tempting to bump it myself as well . Good thing it was only some shitty health product and not pornographic.

There was one selling illegal drugs once. I mean hard stuff too.

I was temped to bump it as well but didn't want to be on the DEA watch list. Or p1ng's watch list which is worse.

You're new so you have somewhat of an excuse. The others though ...
