They annoy and annoy and wreck topics.oh yeah and spam.
and they think they can pull the wall over our eyes and imagine nothing ever happened. and when they get banned, they come back and do it again. only the rare few learn their lesson. however going through today's events, around 2pm in the playstation longest thread, i realised spammers or newbies bring a special something to this website.
or 2 things to be accurate so here it gos.

1)They spam. i thought this was a bad thing. well yes but not if they bump up your topic number of replys.
obviously this is only good for topics like longest threads
(and how many newbies have made them again and again!)
otherwise their abilities are useless and unwanted

2)They amuse us with their indirect knowledge of how to make good posts or such things. Just today at around 2pm in the playstation longest thread, we had a newbie called Gorefest who was going around insulting everyone in the forum. Then he thought he could hide from us by changing his name to Cuboid. and he would have got away with it, if he wasn't so stupid as to keep his unique tagline.
and he tryed denying he was Gorefest for 15 minutes until he realised his tagline gave him away.
Current status: sure to be banned
Another newbie called Matless was continuously swearing at other regulars. So we threaten him with the banning buttons and watching him grovel for forgiveness was as funny as hell. he looks like he's changing his ways so
Current status: saved by the grin of his teeth.

so there you go. Although no-one likes spammers/newbies they can provide hours of fun. But the bottom line is some newbies deserve a second chance. sadly most of them don't
*cough cough alex+daxter*

so if you have any newbies/spammers you want to embarass greatly, do it here.

Nah, there just useless, good for a laugh maybe, but not much good for anything else :o)

Although, we do get the few odd crackers, like, RM18, he won like 5 times in about 50-odd says or something quite silly. So, hey, he has to be good, right?

Spammers annoy me.

I hate spammers who will go on and on about pointless topics just for the sake of it and never seem to learn their lesson and wouldn't know a comma or a fullstop if it waged a war of terrorism against them who have nothing interesting to say whatsoever please don't hate me ok I'm done...now.

By the way, I think you meant 'pull the wool over your eyes' but, hey, wall works too. I certainly wouldn't like a wall over me. And nor would Sheldon.

How about Allardini, spamming in the Nintendo forum, saying that only 3 people on the board have any intelligence and complaining about spammers....Ironic ain't it?
