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.

Yeah, I know Chary can only lock threads, but I have seen other reporters delete threads

None of the mag staff besides T-hug can delete threads, period. We can only lock threads.

No idea why and how that happened but as it is right now, none of the regular mag staff can delete threads

I believe it's cuz his entire account was deleted, so it appears as if it was him.

No, he did this before it was deleted

 

[Boogieboo6]

He got a rank before his account was deleted, didn't he? It was like RIGHT before he was deleted though. Also, do you think he requested his account be deleted because of his blog describing his job? Even in the entry it said something like he wasn't allowed to, but he didn't really care. I think his job got wind of his blog and forced him to close his account because the staff don't just delete accounts without a very good reason.

"Holy fuck, someone posted gore/porn on the forums? Better report it and then also say 'reported' so they know that I reported it!"

Weird, as both Chavo (as a reporter) and I have deleted threads in the scene news section before... I even have the delete thread prompt for any of the threads in the scene news section right now. Wouldn't want to dare click it to see if it still works, but...

I think we can delete recent threads in that section, if you go back like 4 or 5 pages the option is gone.
