I have been disturbed at the amount of spammers since I returned to the board last month, since then I have seen such examples as Jaden Yuki, chaotix7, and others. I think that from what I have seen out of people like that is just nothing. People such as myself, Kagome_sakura, Morphman, Shadow.exe, and other respectable members, mods and admins have been cleaning up after these people for to long spammers are becoming more and more irritating and I do not want to see other people being annoyed and scared to join the boards. That is why I am hereby petitioning the ban of current spammers such as the previously mentioned ones, because this board has just been overrun with them. Example today Jaden Yuki posted a topic about Star Wars episode 3 and even though someone told him that we had another one of them he refused to have it locked and in doing so viciously attacked several board members who agreed at locking the topiic and using the old one. in doing so Jaden Yuki said he would be rather banned than watching one of his topics die. These are the kinds of people the board does no needs.

I think the last time something like this happened, everybody put it in their signatures. I\'d suggest you do that if you must do something.

But also, I will mention that the last \"petition\" turned into a flame war and ended up with three pages at least of respectable members posting only to mention what this one guy did wrong, which I will remind you is spam.

Here is the topic that he made. (if he doesn\'t delete it).

It is annoying to have to tell someone to read the rules when the obviously should before they join. Also, I feel like spamming when I have to tell them that. Jaden was to lazy to use the search today so I had to do that for him. You know how much time that takes out of my day! XP :P. But, seriously they need to stop. I asked politely if they would use better spelling and they either refuse or ignore. ;;>__>

Yes people no wars this time. I\'ve had enough spam for one day.

Black Dranzer, your right. This must end as soon as possible, it seems to be growing and I just hope and pray it will soon die out. But of course that is something that will not happen, but we must controll the matter. We must ban and harp on those responsible. I only ask those who are spammers to please red the rules and respect them as well as the mods and members. This must end topics are popping up everywhere witch is not a bad thing but they are spam, such as Django\'s topics. He oviusly desided to make a topic about him joining the boards and it was in the same area as \"Who are you?\" He refused to post there witch is unacceptible. There are questoins aswell like how to change your writing , please ask the mods or admins in a pm. If thee are followed we might just see a happier tomarrow.

Mr.Cossack I am a patent man. I know things are not done over night, but please do something. Anything to know that you have acknowleged this comment.

Thank you for making a point and for those who think this is a bit extreme it\'s not. It\'s just my way of saying read the rules or get banned and I really don\'t want to see people be blasted I just want for people to listen, read the rules, meet people etc. here I myself used to spam when I first joined. but I could change however I took the first chance others just rejected reformation and simply stayed with their ways. I don\'t want to see people banned until they are given ONE chance to reform. If they don\'t accept that chance then it is their own downfall. It is that simple.

There have been SPAMmers here ever since; well for a long time. And people make topics about it all the time, but usually people don\'t get banned unless they viciously inslult people over and over again. Dr. Cossack I think likes to give people a second chance, and also, as someone else already sort-of said, sometimes what other people view as \"SPAM\" he doens\'t view as \"SPAM.\" If there is a specific member you want banned, petition for it in your sig or maybe in a topic if it is bad enough, but a topic like this usually just gets everyone disobeying the rules, because they don\'t see themselves as doing so but Dr. Cossack does.

I have to agree that it\'s really not for us to petition to get members kicked off this way. The spammers annoy the crap out of me, but at least I don\'t really mind letting them have it for doing so! :P In the defense of some, I think they really can change if the right person tells them the right way. I\'m afraid that yes, we usually have to wait for someone to get really bad before they\'re banned. It\'s a fact of life. At least our board is better than most I\'ve visted.

Seriously you know what really bugs me?
When people have outrageously high expectations.

Think about it.
We have some exceptionably smart people here, and by that I mean a hand few. There\'s the Doc, the Mods, people like Wind, MegaX, Match Gutter, and some important others. But aside from that most of the members here are still in puberty, assuming they\'ve even gotten that far.

This is a Megaman message board.
Kids play Megaman games.
Logic follows that you are going to get alot of immature young kids here.

Now I\'m not saying all the kids here are immature. We\'ve had some \"noobs\" who have been amazing members. I think we decided to give HJ a plaque or something for being the best noobie ever. The real point is that people who just don\'t get it, either because they\'re too dense, or just too young to have the necessary brain capacity to decide \"Is my thread cool enough to not be Spam?\" will always be around. And I think the Doc understands that, and is the real reason he doesn\'t ban every \"Jaden Yuki\" that sign up. Most the people in this thread started out as silly noobs.


My point is.
If you want a message board to chat at with mature people, find someplace for mature people. Not a Megaman board.

Do I have a say in this? I know I\'ve caused many problems and I just wanted to say that I\'m sorry. I never meant to cause problems and I just wanted to make new friends and have fun here. I do care about everyone here and I am sorry for upsetting everyone. I promise you though, I will change.

Someone call the whaaa-mbulence.

I gotta agree with bluesilver.
Majority of the members on this board ARE children.
When I was 10 I couldn\'t spell worth crap, let alone type.
Besides, what makes you so high and mighty Mr. N00b hunter?


Stop complaining and share the love!

Agreed with the Burrito and BlueSilver.

Man, you people complain too much. It\'s one or two stupid n00bs, who cares? Do like I do and be conniving..they\'ll get themselves banned if they truly are n00bs.

Now I\'m going over to Hollow\'s, Burrito\'s, and Silver\'s side. Serisously, I need to learn to quit complaining. I forgive Jaden since he says he wants to change. Now we have to watch, wait, and see if he holds up to his word. The Doc gave me a second chance so I\'ll give him one. ^^

I think the main points have been said. Simply saying \"please stop the spam, it\'s out of hand!\" doesn\'t get things very far, because not everyone sees things in the same way. Besides, naming specific people will often get those to come, post angrily and start a flame war. Can we please avoid that?
