I am a spammer????

Post by GoneWacko »

You admins and mods think I SPAM??? I don´t have a clue what makes you think that, and I find the 6 posts per day ABSOLUTELY rediculous... Nobody posts 6 or less posts per day...

plz gimme an example of me spamming...

and is it forbidden to have some good laughs on this board? if so, I won´t just be away because of my new HD, but forever...

I knew this time would come... my days are always getting miserable at a certain point, and it seems the point for today is 2 minutes ago... X(

What the hell gave you that idea??

You were posting a few pointless messages. But your doing OK now.

Spam is like saying ´lol´ after every post of something. Things that aren´t needed. Or advertising your web site. In a signiture thats fine, if its to do with ttd or it related to a subject thats been discussed.

today was the first day I saw I had Private Messages... ©ombatGold1 send me 2 messages (with the same stuff in it) with the title ´spamming´.

Here´s what it sayd:

Hi mate.

The admins and I have noticed you fave a high post count and also noticed some of it is spam. We think that it would be best if you don´t post as often. I´m not saying don´t post at all, thats not what we want. We want all members to partisipate but just maybe not post too often.

That´s what gave me that idea...

BTW let me get this strait: If someone makes a joke or something like that, I am forbidden to say lol? if so, I guess all the other members of this board have received tons of the same messages as I did, right? Because EVERYBODY says things like LOL when someone says something funny... and that is to make it FUN on a board. and there are 3 things why ppl are on a board:

1. for FUN

2. for problems that need fixin

3. for questions about things in the game itself.

seems there is something to fix here
have a beer mates

i agree , posting with only lol in it is spamming, when you put lol in it and more , trying to explain or adding usefull comments , then that´s not spamming

but hey, im a only your humble servant :D

mod: btw i don´t think you´re a spammer

Err, I haven´t noticed anything about spamming? If you have been spamming, what about Combat? :)

I wondered if I should count the posts where combat have said Wicked, lol or haha and nothing else in the post, but I´m afraid the universe would collapse if I found the right number :D

Keep on posting!
