The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Right, this is for all of you, Newbies, Regulars nintys, all of you. Stop spamming this flaming forum!!
Its getting really out of hand, there is no longer a topic here that does not include spam, all the time topics turn to chat and this should not be the place to do that. Its a disscusions forum, not chat. If you want to chat, go to FOG Chat, or get MSN.
Im not just focussing on a few here, there are quite a few people who do this, but again im not going to mention names. All i ask you to do is one thing, before posting, ask yourself, Is this post really worth the bother? That way, half the crap that is posted here daily will disapear, and we might get back to what the forum is suppose to be about, disscussions.
If you really feel the need to chat here, then go to the longest thread and chat there, but still dont spam to the extent that has happened today, and the past few days, with lots of posts that are just one word long. To any newbies out there, your reputation aint gonna dramticly improve because of your new regular status, because we will remember you for how you got that status.
This problem has been around for ages, and the way things were going, it may not have been able to be fixed. I have been doing some 'tests' recently by doing some gaming topics in this forum, all a fairly long posts. Out of say, 20 regular posters here, there must have been only 2 decent replies to these topics, and the rest just spam leaning away from the topic. Some of you may think this is a load of rubbish, and there is no problem with the forum, but there is, and i know im not the only one who thinks this. If only you had been in this forum and a year or more ago, or when just the PS1 was about, there were some excellent posts here.
The people who posted then, many have gone and been replaced by a new generation of posters who sadly dont take the place as serious as they use to. And this can be seen as some of the more respected posters no longer spend much time here as they use to, people such as Wookiee, ssxpro, resi and more. Its even starting to drive me away.
All im asking is that it stops, or dramaticly decreases from now on. Lets have some good topics and disscusions in here, and try and keep them from spam longer after they were started, if not at all. The fact is, this topic may make me as popular as a Ninty, but i dont care, the forum is a spam heaven, and its up to you to change it.
Still, having said that, there are some good posters in here too, who deserve some credit for what they post, its just a shame that more crap posts than good ones over shadow these people.

that is not how it happened you put this topic then went on to the FOG forumer having ago at me but it's all been sorted look on the FOG chat forum and on the *URGENT* topic
Aim of the post:
To try and make the forum a better place. Get rid of large amounts of spam and get the old quality discussion topics back.
The outcome of the post:
The so called 'accused' took the post too personal and for some reason thought they were plotted against. Arguement broke out and even went to FOG when it should have stayed here. I have been accussed of thinking that i 'own' the forum when that was really never my intention.
Conclusion:
Never try and do anything for the good of others.

is that it? i thought i did that already
Right, here is a simple way of what i have been saying.
Every topic in here that is ever made recently gets some form of spam. Any decent discussion that is tried to be created is spoiled by spam.
What i am saying is keep it in the longest thread.

A little?? Where have you been the past few weeks? There is loads of it now, look in all the topics here and everyone has some in.
Now im not saying come here and dont chat at all as then there would be no real point in here, but when i say chat, i dont mean 1 word posts, or posts off the subject of the topic.
Thats what the longest thread is for. But then why should you listen to me?........
