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.

@hii915 saying "dont bump" doesn't help

This thread is just 48 pages of tagging people who've bumped spam. Just stop.

That's kind of the point of this thread

No, the point of the thread was to remind members not to bump spam. Not @'ing each other back and fourth for almost 50 pages.

Each ping serves as a reminder

May I ask what kind of a reminder it is if no one ever sees it?

lmao sorry about the Chinese message I sent in normal characters, but it's not even about that, it's about replying the thread ofcourse, which is useless, sorry lol.

How are those bots coming through though?

Cease the pointless bickering, eh? There's no need for multiple replies like this about responding to a spam thread. If you see one of those threads, do as the title here says, don't bump it. Report it, move on. Simple.

@SimonMKWii Don't bump the spambots!

 

[Dionicio3]

You too @gman666

@asnka Please don't spambot threads

I suggest reducing spam by preventing members with less than 10 posts from including Chinese characters in their posts and thread title to avoid more posts like this. This has been going on for a while now.
