Cutting down on spam

MIG · 05-05-2003, 01:49 PM

okay well i've been going to this forum for for a while and there always seems to be loads of spam with people making topics like "who's the best character" etc. and of cource you'll all say that this is spam and go and post this in the topic which makes you a spammer as well...so i just think that it's a good idea for whenever somebody creates a spem topic on the forum for everybody just to completely ignore it and wait for a mod to delete it instead of making spam posts calling the guy an idiot, #### etc. so i was just wanting to know if anybody else thinks that this is a good idea and dont even bother trying to flame me or anything cos i'll just close this topic if you do.

Why not just make a meaningful post which will hopefully enlighten the unenlightened one :biggrin:

Or you could just PM them..

It IS a good idea . . . but we all know it won't happen. And I appreciate your attempt too! But . . . it's impossible to control all of the members of the forum.
