Spam/Report Posts
Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:37 am
Since everyone checks out the Suggestions for Admin I have a few Suggestions for members.
1. Spam is NOT ALLOWED! Do not do it, if you see spam REPORT IT. That's why we have the report post button now. Reported posts will be looked at by usually all of us including SHAdmin himself. Don't report the same people more than once, if he is spamming just indicate he has other posts we don't mind doing a little snooping around.
Reason for the report post is none of the 3 Moderation Guys or SHAdmin really has the time to go through every post, every day to find spam/rule breakers. I have already gotten 5 people taken care of due to these report posts and reporting direct events straight to SHAdmin's PM Box. So keep reporting and it will make our job easier.
2. USE THE F'N REPLY BUTTON! Jesus there are 2... not 1 but TWO buttons on a topic page. One to the left says NEW TOPIC and the one on the right says REPLY. Stupidity will not keep you from getting your account erased. For those who havn't witnessed here are some examples of what we have done to people in the past.
1. Removed Accounts for Spam. One guy found it out the hard way.
2. Deducted Points for Spam, you will lose more points spamming than if you take your time and actually write something DECENT. ( "Yeah", "Alright", "It's ok" are not posts, it's spam! Add something to the conversation, don't just say"It's cool" or "I like it" WHY IS IT COOL? and WHY DO YOU LIKE IT? Doesn't take 1 minute to write a decent post.
3. I, and God do I love doing it, will take your post and make it retarded. I have done it and check through some of the posts if you spam I will either embarass you or make you sound stupid. I don't get in trouble for it and most the time you will HATE what I write. DONT SPAM!
3. Old posts: Easy thing to do DONT POST IN THEM. They are old, meaning no one wants to talk about it anymore. You comment something someone said a year ago and you look dumb. Look at the dates if they are over 3 Months old REPORT THE POST and simply state"Old Post"
Which brings me to Report Post comments. Don't write "spam spam spam" here is a list of items you can write.
1. "username" has spammed. or This is a Spam Post
2. Advertizements: Advertizing "put what they are advertizing here"
( For Advertizing not everything is against the rules use your better judgement. )
3. Offensive Language: "username" is being offensive.
Write thier name and offence, yes you report thier post but just help us out a bit.
If I didn't post it above DO NOT REPORT SOMEONE MORE THAN ONCE! Just say they have done it and tell us what post. Report as many things in one report if possible.
The ammount of spam is starting to rize and I am a firm hater of spam, I am going to be hitting very hard on spammers this is your only warning if I catch you. Don't take me as an agressive person but if you can't post something decent and earn your points like the rest of the members then you don't need to be here. Thats how I see it and if anyone has anything against it, just send me a PM. I don't care what you say in the PM I won't report it or get you in trouble for it. Spam is my least favorite thing and my Number 1 rule I love to enforce.
ShAdmin if you find this post helpful Sticky plz lol. Everyone should be able to tell who caused this post. Just keep our forums from spam and everything will be alright.
