Sexy No Jutsu Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 ^ No, that's not what we're consider SPAM. Those are annoying posts, but they should NOT be reported. We consider it SPAM if it's a blatant advertisement for another site, ie: links to porn, prescription drugs, travel deals, etc. etc. Oops, didn't notice we had it differnet. Thanks.
Nrthwnd Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Take note: two of them things are right below this BUMP here... Lock - lock - lock - locka - way.
ParkTrips Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I am bumping this thread because I think a lot of people need a refresher. There have been probably 10 people in the past few days replying to spam threads... DON'T DO IT!!
krouvi Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 My offic runs few forums and spam is a massive probelm. The best solution at the moment is relied ont he coporation of users/members that report the spam ASAP. just use the Report OPTION
MisterP Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I'll step up and admit, one of those was me. Absolutely will not happen again. Sorry!
robbalvey Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 And just to reiterate so people understand why we have this rule.... by responding to a spam thread then all you are doing is bumping it up to the top and pushing some really good threads our members have created to the bottom. We want to promote our users threads, NOT SPAM! Also, each time you post eats up bandwidth. While it's a very small amount, true, we still do not want our bandwidth going to promote spam. Really, it's a very simple rule. If you see a spam thread and want to help us out click the "report post" button, and let us know it's there. Otherwise, just leave it alone! Chances are it will be GONE before most people ever see it! Thanks to everyone for their help! --Robb
robbalvey Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 I'm going to bump this again because I just had to give a 24 hour ban to two people today for responding to Spam. One of them was a very frequent poster too. I just don't understand it. It's such a simple rule.... If you see a spam thread DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!
TPDave Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I've reported a few, but i'm not even sure i need to that because they all seem to disappear with in a couple of hours max. Nice one admin guys for deleting all the crappy threads...
rollermonkey Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 ^^ Hmm... Who could Robb be talking about? I wonder...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Just saw a reply on a spam thread so *BUMP!* If you see a spam thread DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!
jten11 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Well I guess this thread is going to get bumped and bumped frequently until everyone gets it.....Which will NEVER happen. Ignoring does seem the best way to counter-act it, but lets face it. As many times this get bumped, who's to say that everyone that comes on here actually read this? (or any rules thread) So yall mods bacially have a full-time job ahead of you. Dummies are like roaches; its damn near impossible to get rid of all of them, no matter how much 'Raid' you spray on them!
Wes Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I just had to give someone a 24 hour ban for replying. Don't make me do this! Spam messages may stick around a little longer for the next couple weeks, as half of the TPR staff is in Spain. We'll try to get to the offending messages as fast as we can, but PLEASE do your part: 1) Use the "Spam" button the left hand side of the post to report it to us. 2) DON'T RESPOND TO IT!! We will get to it as fast as we can, but posting funny replies doesn't help the situation! So, to repeat. If you see Spam: Use the "Spam" button to report it, and then LEAVE IT ALONE!
Ccron10 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 It might be helpful to make this a sticky thread. Just my opinion. I replied to a spam thread along time ago, but that's back in my new member years and I did the time and now I've learned my lesson.
coasterJunkie94 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Huh.. Never seen a Spam Thread but if i see one i'll forget about it
KrakenKing Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Spam alert And 25 people have already looked at it. Ya'll should be ashamed.
CoasterCrazy Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I'm bumping this thread since people are responding to spam threads!
spaceace12 Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 that includes the one below this thread. Anyone read this?
Wes Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 ^ Sorry we're not 24/7 chained to the forums. Some of us have lives outside of here, too. Remember that Robb, Elissa, Joe, and Lou are all in Europe right now, leaving just Erik, Reed, Ted, and myself. It's the weekend and it's also summer, it's nice to get out and enjoy the sunshine every now and again. Yeah, there was quite a bit of spam today. It sucks, but it's part of having a popular forum. I've had to give a 24 hour ban to THREE ACCOUNTS on here today for responding to them. If it wasn't abundantly clear by now... DO NOT RESPOND TO SPAM. DON'T MAKE CUTE COMMENTS OR JOKES! IT'S NOT FUNNY AND ONLY MAKES MORE WORK FOR US! IF YOU SEE SPAM, USE THE "REPORT" TOOL AND WE WILL GET TO IT AS SOON AS FEASIBLE! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM! DON'T RESPOND TO SPAM!

It is amazing how much you have to do around here, especially with half of the staff out in europe.
Chris Benvenuto Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 As someon who's been banned before, DO NOT RESPOND! NO MATTER HOW BIG THE URGE IS, DO NOT DO IT!! I did it and payed for it, and trust me. You don't see me posting to these Spam Bots any more. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE MODS WHEN THEY SAY DON'T RESPOND. IT'S WORTH HEEDING DAMN IT!!
