The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
It's you trying to make things better by complaining in the wrong places.
If someone posts something deemed as spam, you that think you're helping, are doing the opposite.
Here's an example:
Post 1: Y R Gamecube so gay?
Post 2: This is spam, stop it.
Post 3: Yeah, try to come up with a decent post, idiot.
Post 4: Yet another rubbish newbie post
and so it goes on, this post has a few replies, people think it must be interesting, read it, and reply with something that doesn't help.
Meanwhile, a decent post, more than a few paragraphs long is slowly slipping down the page as you tell each other that a spade is a spade.
So here's a suggestion, don't reply to rubbish posts.
If someone writes something, and no one replies, maybe they'll see why, and benefit from it more than if you attack them.

No-one's going to do this, so why bother. Wish they would though.
But the urge to put people down to make themselves look big... ooh, it's pretty strong in a lot of members.

Exactly, I never do that so I'm excused. :0)

Sometimes though, a topic is so utterly devoid of upright thought that you have to make a comment, otherwise they'll just grow up not knowing any different and end up having stupid children.
It's a cycle.

Hmmm... and then we'll get the "Why dos no1 reply 2 my topix?!!!1" topics.
I say chase them through the village with burning torches until they reach the windmill.

It doesn't mean that half a dozen other people also have to tell them that they're retarded too though, does it?
And I don't think we can stop them from having stupid children. I wait for the day that my kids come home from school and tell me that someone said this to them "You think you're special coz you can write your own name"
I just know that's going to happen one day.
