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.

Yup, and then he got a copied version off the net instead.

Damn straight.

4 reviews for it, and they're all good. Shame Goaty and Totoro didn't win for theirs. Everyone on these forums seems to get what Battle Royale is about now. Remember Shaneo prancing around yelling "I wannaaaa see, it's blud"?

Dare I say it, a popup rules list when you first register?

I suppose that's all you could do, just make it short and snappy and people will read it. I hope that takes off actually AliBoy it's a nice idea, get into the Customer Service Forum now!

Nice review, Grixy boy. First time I've ever seen two GAD reviews back-to-back. Must be sheer quality.. ;-)

Someone respected should just draw a line under a Spam post, having insulted the offending and stupid poster. That way you get the best of both worlds: Goatboy gets to break the cycle of stupidity and no-one replies.

Anyone who does reply after the line should be made to listen to steps for 24 hours of continuous torture.

Go on just try :-)
