Guest Magdalena Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Instead of trashing or closing threads, why not make a spam section, a lot of forums have them, and they work reasonably well, keeping spam only in that section. Just a thought..
James Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 [color=#707875]Basically, we made a conscious decision not to allow any kind of spam on OtakuBoards. Whether it's in Otaku Lounge, or in a Spam Forum of some kind, we don't want to allow it at all. I've always felt that if people have a desire to spam, there are plenty of places on the Internet where it can be done without a problem. There are various boards out there who offer a "Spam Forum" type arrangement. I'm sure that members of OtakuBoards can and do visit such places if they want to mess around or something. I have no problem with that. But obviously, OtakuBoards itself is a place that I want to keep free of spam as much as possible. [/color]
Xyandar Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Also if you get too much spam on the boards it can really slow the boards down and may be shut down for a day or two to delete them all. It has happened with quite a few forums i have been on before.
