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.

19 pages for a simple rule? I thought this should go without saying.

Should we replace the "Post Reply" button with the "I'm 100% Sure This Isn't Spam and I Want to Post Reply" button? Maybe then people will get it.

Because we shouldn't bump spams, even with "funny memes" or "punny lines". Just, NO.

I'll have you know, Meme's are for everything. You have the opportunity, then take it !

On a serious note, it was 2 spam posts I bumped. Not the end of the world.

Unless it's spam. Then your reply is spam by association.

Yes it is. You helped spam be more visible. Shame on you

Sorry, wasn't my intention to "Bump Spam".
It was a new post and just wanted to answer to it... because I can.

Can someone do something...?

 

[XavyrrVaati]

Oh right, I probs shouldn't reply to it lol. Thanks for this bump.

So who's the angry crybaby who keeps on coming back for more? Margen? And what did they do not just to get themselves banned in the first place, but to be so salty about it?

Margen would be more creative about it.

 

[Thomas83Lin]

Maybe this needs to be stickied in all categories, so many unaware people bumping

Maybe. I'll admit I don't pay attention to the larger goings-on of the 'temp; I just can't remember any other user being banned recently who'd actually spent enough time here to get so butthurt about it. It's not like Margen didn't have a penchant for spamming, although it was more about likes than shitposting.

Don't smack talk to these spammers, guys. It's just giving them the attention they want. Unless they're bots in which...still don't reply to them.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I just reported my second spam. This happens often?

 

[Justinde75]

Guys i'm just saying, if you keep talking on this thread it is going to be locked. Use the Shoutbox please.

 

[Arubaro]

There are people that really don't know how to grow up

 

[p1ngpong]

I just suspended eight really helpful people that were bumping spam tonight, thanks to those who reported them.

It would have been locked already. This thread serves a pretty damn good purpose.
