amok: Let me ask you this - at which point did that thread become spam? At the 3d re-posting? The 5th? The 10th? The 50th?

Breja: It always was. It was whining about deletion of his previous spam. He posted multiple threads saying nothing but "soon" that got reported as spam, and then, against that "abuse" started his current string of spam, and it was always set up to be posted again, and again, and again.

It is spam, it always was spam, and it could hardly be more obvious.
And when did you start reporting my posts and threads as spam?
When I said ''Hello'' or ''Nice weather,today'' or..........According to you all,everytime I post it's spam.
avatar
Alaric.us: A thread that says Soon doesn't violate any of the forum rules, is not offensive and should not be deleted. Period.

If you would like to see some posts that do in fact violate the rules, look no further than this thread.

My JerkMuter thread did not violate any rules either. It was deleted. Same for JerkMuter 2.0 six months later.
Neither does a Korean bot that posts about Bamwar really, but we deleted those too, because they were spam.
Maybe deleting the thread was a little much, but are you going to claim it had a point?

There are many posts that violate the rules, some get deleted, some don't. That's probably largely down to the reputation of the people who post them.

But it wasn't deleted because of that. It was deleted because of Tauto and Kleetus spamming, and using it as a platform for spamming.
Your attitude certainly didn't help matters, but I don't think it was the contributing factor.
I'm not sure about the second one, I can't say I noticed it.

The forum is broken. We all know that. We've always known that.
Gog do not have the resources to fix it. I've offered my help to them, as I'm sure others have, but it's not a priority to fix.
As far as I can tell, the people who built it are gone and no one knows how it works properly any more so it will be a pretty big task to fix it up or replace it.
We can complain as much as we like, spam as many threads as we like. Nothing is going to happen.
I trust fables when they say they are trying, but it's down to programmer man hours and Gog doesn't have enough of them.
All your thread has done is deepen divisions between the community, and let anyone who didn't already know that is was possible to delete threads and how to do it.

amok: Rather I think that previous posts should not impact on the current. A thread is spam if it is spam, not because the poster have spammed before.
Precisely. Here is another example:

I could not care less about Alric, but I definitely do not want to be in a forum where an unpopular member can get deleted by a group of users (or even by a single user with many alts). Even if that member "spammed" or "trolled" before.
avatar
amok: so therefore all posts he makes is spam?
No, he makes them spam. He's free to post something that isn't spam. Not that he tries. He's "proof" was apparently a thread there a known spammer, who publicly declared on more then one occasion that he is going to outright brake the forum unless he gets what he wants, offering to "help fix it". Basically a "nice forum you have here, would be a shame if it burned down" racket. Gee, I wonder why people downvoted it.

avatar
amok: and what does it make the downreppers? If they left it alone, it would have died at #1 - they kept it alive. They made that thread into spam.
No, as I already explained to you. Your logic is insane, as I already explained, and it was always spam, as I already explained. Please, read my posts again, they are rather short, clear and to the point.

I can certainly see where you are coming from, but I disagree; if someone makes 100 spam threads and then asks a legitimate question should we just ignore the spam threads and pretend they are a decent regular user?
On any normal forum they would have been banned before ever getting to make the legitimate thread.

you should delete the 100 spam threads, but keep the legitimate question.... and why not?

*shrugs*
I guess we just have a different viewpoint then. I can't ever see a user like ciomalu or cyberchief becoming a proper member of the community and don't think they should be treated as one.
Never mind poor put upon little Tauto...

Tauto: ''HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS'' is silent:)
That's because he died in 1977 moron. :P

Alaric.us: It's ok though. I'll turn off the script tonight, hand over my list of vulnerabilities to GOG, and wait 3 months as promised.
Wow, they even gave you a deadline? 3 months as in "by then everything should be fixed" or "and then we'll start looking into it"?

I can see where you are coming from too, and I'd agree in cases like Tauto, ciomalau and similar, who as you said would have been banned before ever getting to make the legitimate thread. However Alaric's case was different, his posts started getting deleted way before he started his "Soon" spam. This spam was only an experiment to draw attention to that.

Something will happen one way or another. See my post #146 in this thread.

Pretending something is not an issue because it doesn't affect you personally, is not very conducive to community building either. You dislike me, but are civil. That is fine. TinyE dislikes me and throws fits of uncontrolled rage, curses in profane ways, threatens, etc. That is also fine. I mean it does technically go against the rules, but so far as I am concerned it's fine because it's just a harmless anonymous man-child on the Internet — there is no real life consequence to anything he says or does.

What's not fine, is that some people abuse the broken forum but it is ignored because of who the abuse is directed towards.

In any event, the forum will either be fixed or EVERYONE will have direct access to the same means of abuse. It will be level. Hopefully via fixes.

That last sentence will work.
