SPAMMING!!!!!!!!!
« on: May 25, 2007, 09:19:15 AM »
I think these notifications are an awesome thing. I've been a member of other forums who would just kill your account, sometimes just bc they didn't like you.... but the kind, caring folks here at CH are a bit more sensible (btw, for those of you with a warped sense of sarcasm... this isn't sarcasm.) ... i voted anyway ;D

Think this would get more views and participation if it was in the Off topic section, moving this thread there..

Personally, I don't think I've ever spammed a forum.
Having had it done to me, I know it's not nice and just results in extra work.
I've never had a spam notification or a warning of any kind on any forum so far.
I'm a good boy . . .

I'm a good boy too.  Mostly.  I've been banned from plenty of chat rooms, but I can't think of any forums I was banned from.  Well, I was banned from the Spawn message board for about a week for making a banner of Steve Hamady (a McFarlane employee) with the caption "Got BC?" (BC = Birth Control)  He took offense because he thought I was referring to his children.  When I explained to him that I actually meant that his parents should've used birth control, he unbanned me.  And that's my story.

Heh, I'm really not so bad these days.  But I could quite troublesome when I was younger.  I remember when one girl was on 50/50 or 60 Minutes because she was abused or something and she made a teen community site (it had "goose" or "duck" in the name, I believe).  This was back before even Friendster.  For some reason, it really upset me, so I found her site and trolled the chat rooms until they banned the *censored* out of me.

    I have never spammed a forum but,I have been a
    little looney at times and posted spam.

    This caused an administrator friend of mine to swat
    me like a fly but,he is still my friend.

    So....... ;D

He must of posted 25 diffrent threads in my forum and he actually got replys from my members which was anoying because they had joined , under the impression it was a safe site , now i cnt do anything with my site untill i know hes out the picture.
