I know. I know. This is probably against the rules, and if it is, I accept full responsibilty. But...I must know. Am I a Spammer?

My story is simple. As a child of 9, I joined 1 message board. A pokémon one. I was a terrible SPAMmer. Somehow, my computer evaded the bans they gave me. Until I wised up, knew I wasn\'t wanted, and left. A few years passed, my wisdom had grown immensely and I joined this board. Although my first few days were rocky, I adjusted fairly well. School became time-consuming and I soon forgot this board.

During the following summer, I remembered this place and started posting again, at this point I started my post rise to which I became the top poster.

This past summer, Kiryu came about. His SPAMming was unintentional, yet it was there.

It disturbed me for two reasons. 1. It was my situation all over again, except I was on the side of the board. 2. I saw, for the first time, the way that board had seen me. Although, I had long since made amends with that admin, the past plagued me. After overcoming this, I thought I would never be troubled by this again. I was wrong.

This morning, Huff PMed me. Despite the chance that he may have preferred to keep it private, If I really am as bad as he claims then I must be exposed here and now.

Nah, You\'re a really good guy and you rarely spam at all, I dont know what Mr puff n stuff is saying.

Past is past, Kiryu might show up somewhere as a fine guy someday for all we know.. Thus, you were a spammer but now your not. I was one too, now I\'m not.. infact quite afew good people here were. *cough*

In my honest opinion You are not a spammer.Who ever called you a spammer and is making fun of you,That means they\'re hiding the fact they\'re spammers.

Well he\'s sorta spamming in the birthday thread. If you\'re just going to say \"Happy Birthday to <everyone who has a birthday today regardless of if their accounts are active or banned>\" it seems to be a useless gesture. So the post isn\'t short but it isn\'t \'useful\' either.

I think too much emphasis has been put into protocol and getting things right that people begin to fear their actions, and rightly so. When someone makes a double post (accidentally or otherwise), 15 of the newest members who have recently learned the rules will immediately say something like \"HEY YOU CAN\'T DOUBLE POST!!! :mad::madgo: I\"M GOING TO REPORT YOU!!!!!\" I\'m all for a good thread free of gibberish and spam but at what cost?

I think the rules should be bendable in certain situations but some people don\'t see it that way.

I think this topic itself is abit unneccessary and bordering on spam itself. Self-centered topics are rarely appreciated. And you know, if they were, there just might be a topic out there where I dictate to the board how great I am. But you know, it\'s not gonna fly.

I\'m not going to close this thread yet, however. While it\'s true that you could have simply put a request in your signature whether board members find you to be a spammer, I also realize that had you done as such, it\'s possible you might not get any answers. For that reason alone, I\'ll leave this open for now. I will likely close it after you get enough answers though if someone doesn\'t beat me to it.

Please, try not to be so fragile in the future. You haven\'t much to worry unless you get a PM from Break, Doc or I calling you a spammer.

huff lied i watch your posts when i am on.you have not once spammed.
i thought you had faith in yourself.
you need to delete any PM calling you a spammer unless it is from Break, Doc or Necro

Thanks guys. I\'m fine now. I\'m glad to know all of this.

It affected me the way it did, because it was the one thing I prided myself on. My greatest accomplishment. My own personal vow. Besides, I\'m a little vulnerable at the moment anyways.

I feel really stupid though, I really shouldn\'t have listened when he sent 19 other PMs that said exactly the same thing.

any time.i don\'t like people that send pm\'s like that.when they do that they are spamming.

God damn it... I\'m always late, therefore people have already said all my thoughts. Now when I post I sound like a poser.

Anyway, Mega you are so worried that you might be a spammer, you go and start a thread about it. Hmm, smart. I\'ll tell you straight Mega, you might not spam, but a lot of the time you really don\'t take in others thoughts before you do things. Remember the little spam-o-rama with all the news articles? Well it was nice factual mumbo, all good, but nobody really cared. I know you cared, but come on Mega, it\'s a bloody Megaman board. The average member age is around 14 or so. Start one topic and see if the fish bite, but don\'t go and make 9 different topics.

Also another thing; I recall more than once when you dropped into chat. Yeah, we\'d love to have you, but then again, you don\'t think of others. You started posting a horrendously long story and even after continually being yelled at to stop, you continued to flood the chat room. That to me is spam.

You asked for an answer and I gave it to you, I wasn\'t gunna lie. You are a good member, but you really don\'t take into consideration others. It ain\'t all you on this site Mega. Again, your a good member, just a lot of the time you can be self-centered. To me at least that’s how you come off.....

I\'m...self-centered? Odd. No one perceives me that way offline. Must be some deep-set psychological thing. Never understood that mumbo-jumbo.

Point is, I never intended to come across as that. I found the articles interesting, and I genuinely thought someone else would feel the same way.

As for the chat, I was on one of those flu/cold/lack-of-sleep/sugar things. I apologize for that.

EDIT: No pual, he\'s right. THis way, I can start the changing.

Heh. I help people plenty. Anyway, Mega asked for opinions, I gave him mine. I know he would rather have that than a candy-coated answer comforting him with false answers.


Huff doesn\'t even post here anymore, I really don\'t see what\'s the whole big deal. Mega should know that if he was a spammer Doc would have booted him long ago.


EDIT: *Cough* That\'s like the 5th time I\'ve been out posted in this thread. Can\'t keep up with you youngans with your \'homerow\', whatever that is.

Anyway, see Mega took it the right way, if he truley wanted to get better he would face the things he doesn\'t like about himself- the things he wishes to improve on. I\'m the one helping him I would think.

\'Tis true Gutter, I\'d rather face a cold hard reality than a warm fuzzy lie. No matter how much it hurts...

I\'m really the only one it\'d be a big deal to, as I mentioned it was sort of a personal vow to me. The thought of me failing it, along with my other failures, was driving me crazy.

As for the Doc, I suppose he would have. Then again, I\'ve had experiences with an admin trying to ban me, but my computer evading it on its own.

For the love of God, how do you guys post and edit so fast?!! @.@


Anyway, see Pual, although I see your just sticking up for Mega, he wants to get better. There isn\'t much for him to improve on in my book, I was just simply pointing out the flaws in him I saw. Everybody has flaws, he just asked us to tell him his own.

EDIT: Jesus Christ, first a Mega post, then Pual, then another Mega followed by two edits @.@ Anyway, one word to that Mega: Rightcious. I\'m done in this thread, hopefully I helped you out Mega.
