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.

What do you mean with gore?
I don't even know why i am tagged here!
You bumped a gore/porn thread.
If you idk read the op you would see bumping porn/gorn can get you a warning. Tagging you is to make sure you remember this rule and don't fuck up and get a warning.

(cough)

When we see spam, the correct choice of action is to:
A. Report it
B. Reply to it or the myriad of replies already there
C. Do nothing

The best answer is A, but C is the next best choice. I feel people shouldn't need to be reminded of this.

Right, not going to say any names, but Never bump a thread to shitpost, have a causal conversation, or to tag a mod.

First off, A is already against the rules outside of the EoF, so nobody should be shitposting.

B, Why? Just why? If you want to talk, go somewhere else. Is it that hard? And if it is gore or can crash browsers (Like the current one can) DON'T BUMP WHATSOEVER! It'll cause more attention from the users just having a regular and nice time.

And C there is NO excuse of why you would do this. A report button exists, y'know? USE IT!

Thank you.

tfw people act like bumping spam is one of the worst things you could do on this site
It can be depending on the spam.

Honestly, depending on the thread being bumped, it actually can be. The problem is that a lot of the offenders think it is of utmost importance to shitpost the same overused corny joke for e-peen even if it means bumping NSFW spam. On a forum which is open to people of all ages. Just because stupidity isn't against the rules doesn't mean we all have to exude it, no?
