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.

It is spam, simple as that. Others doing it doesn't make it acceptable to do so.

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.

Yes, it will reduce Chinese spambots a lot.
But the door is always open for English spambots.

How is the door even open for bots anyway?

A noob who posted in site discussion and suggestion with some English text saying shit about deplomas and universities? Sure

That doesn't make it ok. And yes, it's still bumping spam. See a spam post? Report it, move on.

Right click, translate to English. I've never seen a noob try to sell diplomas on any website I've been on in my entire life.

Most of the time those posts are created by bots or people with malicious intent, so I don't think that would do much, to be honest.

After the translation, the spam makes even less sense somehow.

Must be some sort of subliminal advertising technique. I'm afraid.

Its always been an okay thing to bump pinned posts

Plus, its actually encouraged to bump this thread

true, but it's kinda ironic /shrug

 

[Seriel]

The whole point of this thread is that its bumped when theres spam being bumped so people actually realise that its not okay

No not really
