"Spamming must stop"

I've been alerted to the amount of spamming going on in these forums, and I'd like it to stop, immediately. It really is quite pointless posting meaningless words over and over again, and people who replay, just quoting the message are just as bad. I know the Longest Thread is just a bit of fun, but people have complained that the spamming is getting too much, so quit it.

People like KR, big_slow and Timmy have all boosted their word count significantly in this manner, while other people work hard writing good posts and don't even get on the list because it's filled with spammers. If it continues, we won't hesitate in banning the offending spammer, as it just wastes our time, your time and everyone elses time too.

Stop it. Thanks.

Ali

I used to spam there quite a bit.

Now I'm a good boy.

;-)

Well, really, I have dropped to 19th in the Top Posters list.

no doubt he will go straight to the WLT and post his five to ten welcome messages he will then notice this topic :D

oh and Pro, now you are out of the PS2 Crew do you want to be killed off in my half completed story or just leave the crew?

Well that thing never worked anyway, and i though Three Lions was better.

So how long before Big Slow comes on? Be interesting to see what he says.

well said ali- finally someone is trying to do something about this problem.

my opinion is that the longest thread is a good thing. It stops people spamming in other peoples topic-well should anyway. But the root of the problem is a few people-most people who reside in this forum play by the "rules" but i remember when i did a thread ages ago big-slow wrote 17 unneccessary messages. thats the problem. also i agree with natbuc-red and yellow cards is a great idea.

LOL this one was a coincedence i assure you, i thought you had
"three lions on a shirt" after tom sent you that thing which allowed 25 letters in a tag, i was listening to baddiel and skinners old Euro '96 song and decided to change it.

And do you actually copy my Tags on purpose KR?

yes but no one reads past a few pages on the WLT im just unlucky ;)
nah i have admittedly spammed occasionally but the reason my post count is high is because of conversations i have in there. I know i could have answered certain questions in one big post but i will now.

I must admit, I don't think KR really spams that much. The reason why he is at the top is not because he spams, he has convesations in the WLT. But doesn't spam, like I did.

If you are critising someone, it should be me or bigslow. But not KR, I don't think he really did much wrong. He was trying to stop me and Big Slow at one point yesterday.

The Yellow and Red Card rule is a brilliant idea and i hope that SR will take notice of it if you go and do a post about it.

You shall see soon enough that the post count will go down by a lot but i cant gurantee that i wont go down from top spot. not because i will spam but it might just mean that i will post normally but just a bit more then 2nd place, i expect my post count to drop soon any way.
