I agree 3 or 4 threads is great, but the explosion of the spam causes some concern. Mabey some type of rule about that could help.

Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
I wholeheartedly argree with the lot in here. Spam has become overexcessive and it makes it a real pain to sift through all the rubbish people can come up with (I feel for the moderators). To most of the posts there is not even a point to it, it's simply to be...well, stupid. There are countless polls that defy any logic and reason.
I am not talking about the 'One Word Story'. That actually makes some sense but many threads started over the last couple of weeks are just beyond reason. Some people really don't seem to have much of a life.
Anyway, I would be most glad if something were done about it.

Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
I have to agree, I have spammed these boards in the past, but even I never took it this far, it is getting out of hand in the frontroom especially.
Maybe the time between posts should be upped to a minute like it was before? That might help.

Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
GAH! Even though I rarely agree with you, JAG, and you have the highest post count at the Org, I never recall i to have seen you really spamming. Your posts have been numerous, yes, but they always made sense, even when they were comprised out of only one sentence.Originally Posted by JAG
This spam issue has gotten out of control. Spammer's good fortune that more tolerant people run this site, I would install a far longer flood control than only a minute.

Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
I honestly don't know how anyone can get a post count of 2000 in a couple of months - its not healthy

Yes, me too. What on earth is Drisos trying to do? With things like pointless polls and "Doy you think Drisos exits?". It's just stupid.

Actually there are others.
One calls himself spammer wannabe with a postcount of 8.5 per day.
That's twice as much as drisos has.

Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
Myabe a special place could be made in the tavern, called 'the spam room' where you can spam to you're hearts content. Then, we tell all the spammers to gothere and spam, so we can quite easily just forget about them and bring the frontroom back to some degree of normalness?
Not a certain banned member!!
Re: a bit too much spam in the Frontroom ?
Yes, we should definitely cut down the spamming to a less annoying level ... and while we're at it we should probably also weed secondary accounts of banned patrons...
