Thats why u dont see the spammy posts
So dont judge if u dont know what was going on

------------------------------


Ok.. hmm i havent read the whole thread but i read the first posts...
See.. in the old days, when there was not such a big ammount of users, the GCC forum had quite a few spammy threads, and they werent moved mainly because there were not many replies to them.
Now theres a different situation, there are lots of spammers out there waiting for these kind of thread..
i used to move these 'spammy'-'silly'-'not useful' threads instantly to T&T when i read them..
but one day u complained that there were threads being moved to T&T that werent really spam..
So i changed my mind, and i was like 'ok, lets see what happens and then ill see if i move it/close it'... then again, u complained that there were spammy thread in GCC..
There will always be people who wont like my job, i know that
But im asking u for a bit of cooperation
We can do a great job if we work together, u know there is this "report" button in every post and u know u can use it
There are some guys who spend a lot of time here but never use it...
I have been spending lots of time here lately, so im reading almost every thread... But u know that when u are a mod sometimes is difficult to take the decision if the thread is just spam or not, cause if u take a wrong decision, there will be lots of guys asking 'why did u close / delete it?'
I was trying to let these surelly-will-be-spammed thread in GCC, and keeping an eye on them.
If u think that there's too much spam, then i can be more strict about it, i have no probs with that.
I need suggestions so i can do my job in a better way
Just remember to report a spammy post when u find it, cause its the best way to get rid of spam quickly (cause sometimes when im busy, i just log in to read the reported posts and then i leave)

Ok enough blah blah, i want to read ur comments

EDITED: I read the whole thread (:P) and i agree with some of cookie and dom's comments.


Hmm... again, I was a bit caught by your 'blah blah', so I haven't read much else. :P

Firstly (setting aside the fact that you ALWAYS misspell my name :P), I don't see why threads need to be pruned and locked... one or the other maybe, but not both. It just makes people like me realise that a seemingly innocent thread has been locked for no reason. :P Putting it into perspective, 20 spammy posts is a lot, but if that's just from one user/group then ban them and delete the posts, don't mark the thread as unkosher and immediately quarantine it by locking it, assuming that if you don't more spam will come and spread. :P

About the report bit, doesn't this kinda contradict what you're saying? In fact, it seems kind of irrelevant too, and maybe you misunderstood. I can understand deleting posts or locking threads, but when every third post is locked or shoved in T&T, it gets kind of annoying. I want you to be LESS strict with spam! :P

As for WDZ's idea, I have a slightly more complicated idea on the same theme (naturally), and if he'd like to hear it, I'd be happy to post it... but it means it's slightly more fair on those who aren't elite and up, and also slightly less of a hassle for those who are.

Blah... had to remove most of your emoticons, Chrono, sorry - too many images. :P
