Who here remembers Mega Master Cutman? Apparently, he hasn\'t been around lately. However, I think that it would be a good idea if we referred some of our more proficient spammers to the art of MMCing....

Just an opinion. But, I thought, that maybe we should refer spammers to MMC\'s posts...so that they can see the light.

In any event, it probably won\'t happen.

However, I have realized that a new person, a new spammer, Johny something, has arisen. I\'ve already reported him twice...I hope he listens.

But, does anyone think that Spam is really a problem at S.S. Calmwaters? I don\'t...but I like to keep it Spam free...


Are you not? What? You don't understand me?

Well, ?ƒ?†¥?§©ç??§´ƒß? to you too!

I dare you to ban me Dr.Cossack!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Spam shouldn\'t be a problem so long as ?\"zealots\"? like you and other people here keep their actions up.

Is zealot a word?

What I think is that the best way to get rid of spammers is one at a time. If each one member made sure he or she wasn\'t one, we wouldn\'t have any!
If that doesn\'t work and the person spams consistently all day, just ban them and get on with it. Furthermore, warn people the FIRST time they spam.

I highly doubt that will work. I know that many of the memebers on this board aren\'t active that often or have left completely, but I really don\'t think that going through the list of <The number of members we have> people is appropriate.

I think if we find the reason(s) for the spamming, we can stop or at least reduce it. There\'s usually more than one reason for these types of problems so we might need several different solutions.

Just a thought. :)

Um, yeah, that\'s what I meant. And what didja mean by Take it away?

Maybe a timer could help... I\'ll think about it.

Cool, For through the efforts of my posting a topic, and through the efforts of my great ally Windrider~, and through the thoughts of my friends, I have started the Doctor to think about a method to halt spam!!!

Cool.



....Do I really seem like a terrorist against spam here?


Are you not? What? You don't understand me?

Well, ?ƒ?†¥?§©ç??§´ƒß? to you too!

I dare you to ban me Dr.Cossack!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Bingo.
How does a regular member go about stopping spam? There\'s nothing we can ACTUALLY do about it, other than tell the spammer that he\'s spamming. And half the time, spammers don\'t care what you say. Only mods and admins have any REAL effect on spammers...

Off topic: What happened to Kei? He go inactive, or break a rule? Maybe the doc took him up on that dare... o_o

Have you tought sending a PM to the doc and/or a mod or an admin?


Have you thought that megaman 9 might be the last one (where Zero is revealed) why? well the first games used Roman numbers I II III IV V
So maybe the megaman X we know is actually megaman 10!!

What I\'m saying is, we can\'t do anything DIRECTLY. Sure, we can PM an MOD or ADMIN, but in essence, that isn\'t really doing anything on our own. That just makes us messengers. I want to have a direct impact!!! We should be able to help keep our forum clean...

Yeah, I would like to be somethig like a covered mod who can warm them and/or delete their spam, NOT to have all the rights of a true mod, something like a spam deleter

This reminds me of a webcomic I started reading called \"Simpleton High\" I think. I stopped reading it just a while ago. Anyways, in one of the plots, the teachers all set notice how bad the condition of the school is. They want to raise funds, but all the kids in the school are punks and wouldn\'t donate anyway. So, they start an \"Insurance Fund\" and set up all these \"accidents\" around the school to make kids donate to their protection. Once they get the money, though, they use it to buy suits and guns so they can form a sort of Italian-mob style protection system, it\'s kinda wierd...
Anyways, I\'m definitely not suggesting this, since it\'s crazy and doesn\'t even work in the comic. The idea of having to have a direct method of stopping spam among members just reminded me of this.
