Spamming is just basically, saying nonsense stuff. But, you are not the only one spamming. ~

For everyones info, it is not worth spamming. But, I am pretty sure that at least 70% of people have spammed on the boards, but spamming just to get a higher rank is not worth it.

actually, I've thought you've been doing a much better job recently.

your percentage is correct. the other 50% are people who haven't posted.

spamming is adding nothing to the thread. good spam is making funny comments.

increasing post count FTW.

Also what is it with the green warning signs on MasterKChief and SomeKittens?

they got into a little argument in the Open Discussion thread, which ended badly, and as a result of their behavior, they have been warned. if they continue this behavior, it's quite possible that they will be banned.

SomeKittens getting banned...right. I never would have thought he could even be warned...

The M · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2010, 06:54:44 PM »

oh.
I thought they were warning me about spamming.
is there a "whew" smiley face?

We all make mistakes, no matter what. King David was an adulterer, and King Solomon married foreign wives, which lead to his worship of idols. The key is to change yourself to the better.

I'm glad to see you're asking questions like this, M. It shows you want to do better and contribute to the forums.

Glad to hear that. I thought I'd never be warned either. Guess we both know what happens before a fall!

I've gotten multiple accounts deleted, and I've been banned for a few days. Never warned/moderated though because I'm well behaved and abide by the rules.*

***Except I am, so now I have two things to confess for.****

Then, when you spam enough and actually make your spam comments funny, you can't possibly be accused ever again. I mean, Sauce can post ANYTHING and he'll get

. You get to be liked on the forums (or not) and it's basically impossible to recover from that status.

Sauce is more of a troll than a spammer. the spam he does is always related to something somebody said.
