spam forum.

What happend to it?
Its full of little kids posting pictures and making loads of stupid threads like
"ROFL"
"LMAO"
-post picture-
"ROFL!!!!!!"

I think something should be done as the spam forum used to be pretty popular and now its full off this.

I thought there is a rule which says you cannot just make stupid random threads such as:

ROFL
HI
LOL
KBYE

Sorry but the 'rofl, lol, omgz' images with no other content is a total waste and to me is pointless even in the spam forum surly they should get warned?

Spesh when its just threads full of them, there pointless, stupid and annoying. Even the spam forum has limits...

This was only discussed in full a few weeks ago. :)

The images actually break the forum rules. This rule states they dont want simple answers, adding just images is actually getting around the charcater limit thus pointless.

C2. Don't post short or meaningless messages - We don't want replies like "i dono" or "why" or "yeah". We have set the forum so that any message must contain at least 9 characters, do not try to get around this by adding meaningless characters.

Well its quite normal for people to post short messages in Spam and has always been okay. As I said this was discussed a few weeks ago and the spam rules clarified. The spam section is a place where you post pointless messages. Check the description.
Use this forum for your pointless posts and threads that dont have a real purpose.
Post counts do not increase

Also in that case these replies break the rules as they are less than 9 charactors

I dont think my post was of any use, i mean posting just images in a thread on stop is annoying and does spam it up all the time, though i guess addign the user to ignore, and it doesnt always happen does it?

Just a hyper over it i guess.

But that's just it?
If you just ban them, it'll stop. I don't much care for the spam forum, I just get abuse, but I still wouldn't do that. It's just stupid and immature. A warning isn't going to stop them... :rolleyes:

You can pointless post in the spam section as much as you like. Aslong as you don't make say 10 threads with something like 'Orly' 'kk' 'yarly' Which is just annoying!

Well I am not sure that you understand the spam section -
LOL:D I remember the days when most of the Smods used to do that all the time - it was new then though :)

I think the spam forum needs a rule change.
People shouldnt be allowed to post random crap. Make it so the threads make sense, and arent just utter rubbish. There are some threads which are full of images.

If all the threads made sense then surely they'd fit into other forum categories?

But that's clearly spam because its easily something that could be put in a PM

I didn't mean like. Made sense but like.. had meaningful content in it.
All these people who are complaining about it pretty much expect it to have a discussion within it, but if thats how it was then it'd fit.

Besides, that could probably fit into technology somewhere :P lol

But you don't have to read it Saurav. A spam forum is just that. Only read what interests you :)

Yep.

Although every forum is still looked after by a mod(s)

Unless the mods cant do their job. (:

But the spam forum has 'died' down again now, so it was just a hyper active random time really. (:

Perhaps it could be renamed the Chat Forum or something.

No the Spam forum isn't for meaningless threads, its for threads that you wouldn't consider valuable content, but which are still a legit discussion. Sort of like the forum-style of a shoutbox.
