No spamming to get your post up

klaxon12 · 12-19-2007, 03:21 PM

Just out of curiosity, and this may have already been asked/answered, but do your no-spamming rules apply to the DL threads that require a reply in order to reach the links? Because if so, it's a bit of a stretch to require people to come up with an informed and compelling response when all they really want is to download something. Plus, most of those threads already have like 5+ pages of "Thank you!" responses.

Guys and girls, This was just a broad idea for those who are known to be spammers, if it doesn't concern you, don't even bother with it!! just enjoy your stay here =]

P.S. I am not deleted no ones post nor anything. I've just restricted so these spammers , and they know who they are, could at least show a little appreciation, if they want something, they have to earn it the right way.

~ klaxon12 Don't make it too complicated, you need reps in order to access the restricted sections, that is all. How to get reps, you must earn them.

As sandwitch said, I usually don't have anything else to say but "thanks" :)

I understand the decision and agree with it (but this limits our form to show gratitude), maybe a little solution is to have a check box to let the user to mark it when the message is irrelevant :) (and do not increase the posts of the user)

ps: the reputation thing is a great idea, but I'm not sure about the success rate of the system, usually people forget to vote, hope I'm wrong this time

I'm torn. I believe every post I made has thought put into it (I'm not fond of one liners myself) but while I posted constructive comments, I did so over the course of a day, with the intent of getting an avatar and accessing other areas. My point being, is it wrong to do it for the obvious reason, despite the fact that I'm technically not spamming?

In any case, thanks for providing a wonderful free forum. I frankly wish other forums I browse had the RPG implemented and such, it's quite fun to use ^_^

Oh and I recommend everyone tries the "element blue" skin. It's easy on the eye <3

This decision doesn't limit anyone, most of the forum is free. Only the HQ section isn't , I mean there must be some kind of give and take at certain point but the overall I think is really good concerning everything else is free and high quality. I don't think this is a big issue. Just like the rule says, you have to earn what you want.

So if you want to earn something extra , then try to go for it. And 10 points for reputation isn't bad, it is required 20 rep points to access those section. Any new member stars with 10 points as a default reputation. So really all you need is 2-3 uploading thread to get the extra 10 points = 20 rep point. Not that hard to do.

And to tell you the truth , that helps with limiting the bandwidth limit a little and reaching max queries . Which this forum suffers from it a lot. Some time you wonder why we get data base error ? That is because many users are browsing many sections. And I can't afford an expensive server right now. So I mean i had to do something to satisfy everyone.

I was just trying to understand whether or not I was considered a spammer despite the fact that my posts have thought put into them, even though they were mostly done in a day ^_^'

I'm a psp game uploader in a psp forum, so I'll make a thread. Thanks arika :)

Note Guys and girls the email I send, i send it to all members. It does not concern you in particular, I was talking in general. So spammers in general, I am not directing this particularly to anyone.

Sorry to keep hassling, one final question: How do I gain rep power? So far my reps have been null.

You have a point Arika :)

without those limited sections, there are lot of things to see in this forum :)

More than enough to spend half of any life surfing the threads :)

I don't have any special interest on them, but I'm just curious... with a "paid suscription" can one user access to them?
