As we\'ve seen, Spammers have grown, and many promising boards have been overrun with this epidemic.

Therefore, I propose we go to these boards and \"Clean out\" this muck and grime.

In this thread, post links to spammed boards.

I (as well as anyone who will help) will do whatever I can.

i hate spammers too but i unfortunetly do not know any other mboards.

The only way to clean out spammy messageboards is to deprive the spam of the source.

In other words, shutting down areas that is highly prone to spam.

...or the extreme: Shutting down the board itself.

Exactly, I deleted two of my message boards, because there was wwaaayyy too much spam, so it got deleted....

if you want to know the message boards name a lot of people here will recognize gohancharge.hyperboards.....but a long time ago invincible.hyperboards got deleted......damn spammers.:madgo:

the adult swim board, sorry to say, I spammed there until they brought futurama back:devil:well maybe not spammed, strongly petition.

^ Could tell there.
but really, you can\'t free those 3 boards.

On SONICTEAM\'s Japanese boards the people has more IQ. (As seeing there\'s not many spammers or actually none.)

I can\'t handle those type of boards...the system is too awkward.

Of course ridding the world of spam is possible. If you only believe, anything can happe......*cough*

Sorry. [I\'m not really here....you don\'t see me posting this >.-]

What I\'m really gonna say is:
While it may very well be possible to completely rid our place of spam, it would take several manhours...and a lot of time...and cooperation. Furthermore, only more spam would show up to take it\'s place. It\'s yin and yang here MX. You can\'t have one thing without the other. In this case: Non-Spam, and Spam. You can\'t truly destroy spam, because it will always be there. Maybe not in the spiritual sense I\'m talking about, but something is bound to happen. In order to truly destroy it, you have to create severe rules, to stop it from happening. But it\'s gonna happen anyway, so you have to quash it again. It\'s a never ending cycle...but...I still try and do it....because I believe.

We didn\'t have much spam until -you- people joined.

Well, that\'s kinda true..back when this board first started we only had a few really dumb spammers. Megawes, legacy..and Fred. And they were all annoying.

I think the Battle Network forum brings in alot of spammers. And the spammers tell their spammer friends to come, and they tell their friends, and they tell their friends...and so on..and so on...

You can only rid the board of spam by banning a whole slew of members, in my opinion.

I\'m more suggesting that we help those boards keep the Spamming under control.

this is one of the most spammed messageboards : Lamb-of-god.com and then click on messageboard at the top but it is still one of the ebst messageboards out there even tho its spam worped. i like it b\\c u can say anything u want in there and post any pictures you want and there are no administrators to get on ur case about cussing and stuff like that.

That will be a hard one. Do you have an idea of how we could fix that board?

I don\'t like spam, it\'s spammy

That\'s why we\'re stopping it.

You\'re doing a wonderful thing Mega X. You\'ll be faced with a difficult task though. Busting spam is hard work, especially on the less strict boards...:(

Remember guys, clean out your home before you clean anothers. We need to keep this board as spam free as possible first. I know this isn\'t a very big problem here (I think) but we can\'t just worry about other boards. We need to keep at least one eye on the homefront.

Trust me, what I am doing is making the admins aware of the problem and be able to supress it. The doc has a good plan about stopping it.

Don\'t you think they ALREADY know about this problem?

Spam is pretty damn hard to ignore!

There is no way to get rid of spam it will always be there.:cry: Though we all want it gone, I\'ve seen boards that allow it. and though I hate spam, I\'ve spamed on boards allowing it. the one board I can say I\'ve spammed on is go-gaia. And I liked every bit of it.


I\'m such a hipocirte

We can [try and] reduce it

You know, not all boards care about spam. I know someone who\'s friend has a board and he does\'t care about spam at all! Most of the board is spam.

Exactly. It makes your life interesting while doing something worthwhile.

I am not about to let this one sink into the abyss. I think this topic deserves one more chance to breathe fresh air. We\'re gonna do this the right way this time.


I\'ll need voulenteer\'s, and links

You are free to go to any board that is posted here. I want all kinds, personally, I will not be going to any ones like Zupp posted.Why? They...scare...me

Like I\'ve said before:
\"A board full of Non-spammers? Good luck on that.\"
Couldn\'t Cossack put in something that forces you to have a minimum requirement of words per post. If not, someone should create a program like that.

well that would be a hell of a lot of work. I mean it would probly take some posts as spam and deleat it or soemthing.
