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.

We used to have something called the "EOF bunker" for the noob floods after pokemon releases. Maybe we need something similar for spam attacks.

They'll have to answer a randomly generated question about temporal physics.

Then sadly I would not be here.

We just tag people who bump spam. But why are you criticising us? You are doing exact same

I'm joking, but it does seem as if people just kinda flock here when people are spamming, whether people are bumping spam or not.
I'm just here because I get notifications for this thread ;O;

I don't really see where this argument is going. But thanks for tagging me for the news. Never really noticed these posts going on, apart in the EOF with werid posts about unuo what . Don't judge I'm not that person, I just find it enjoyable to laugh at sometimes .

Reguardless I am glad they are taking this into consideration trying to fix the issue. I don't really get why you guys are arguing over a problem that has already been fixed by saying "This is a spam post" "This is not a spam post." But that's just the Internet I'm not going to judge. Either that or I am missing something here in the picture.


Once again the users whom are trying to stop this "shit posting" so to speak from the bots, and from us. Are doing there job which is why GBATemp is popular as of today to some people's POV's like mine. It's a place where you discuss video games for heck sake.

I would just avoid this thread by now. It will probably be tagged in the rules soon lol.

Well you can continue bumping threads, but that might lead to the suspendation of your account.

Hey >, I wanna be called 'gay' and 'dumb' too!

No you're not cool enough.
Well i'm not cool enough as well

Also to add to it.
If you report someone, there is no need to post something like "I reported you".
Just report them, move on and let the staff take care of it. ESPECIALLY if it's spam.
Because this is essentially bumping spam.

Isn't stuff like that against the rules anyways?

I'm not spamming anyone. I just wanted to help you, and that you won't be suspended

We're under attack! Raise the shields, deploy the drones and jump to hyper-space!

I know I was just joking when I had said "aren't you spamming?" lel.

But I see what the OP of the thread means by "Spam Posts" (Grabs popcorn and movie, slowly waits for spammers to come back.)
