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.

When I first came across spam on here, I didn't know if it was normal or not... turns out it was a normal thing, only to be served with a severe scolding and a side of DO NOT BUMP SPAM!!!! in my notifications box. :P

I don't think even the saltiest of banned users want to sell us testosterone supplements and garcinia cambogia capsules.

A few years ago when I was running my own Minecraft server, I had a forum set up as well, had no more than ten people (that I knew in person) signed up on it... no CAPTCHA or anything to sign up, and holy hell the amount of spam that I got there was incredible.

Before I discovered the existence of this thread I never got pm'd or warned for bumping spam.

Well not the first ever time you do it anyway... usually, the first or second time round, the mods will just send you automated alerts that say "your post has been removed for the following reason: DO NOT BUMP SPAM!" or something along those lines.

If you are known to be a common repeat-offender, that's when they'll probably start to PM/warn/suspend you.
