The following question is to moderators only (especially Jakanadin and NitroAnon) so if you are not a moderator, please do not respond to this post. If any moderator reads this, could you please close this thread to prevent excessive posting?


Dear moderators,

I would be happy to know what you see as spam on these forums, since there has been some misunderstandings about the meaning of spam a few days ago. Furthermore I would like to receive some info on how to report spammers.

All the best,

Spamming:
( In my eyes )

1 to 3 words only.
Example:
Lol good luck
Lol have fun
Have fun
Good luck
Nice clan

You actually don't need to report them..

If you still want to report them, Just pm the link with the username to the super mods or moderators, IF THEY DON'T MIND TO GET PM'D FOR THAT!

But I won't care so you can always send it to me

1-3 words and simply the post that are not related to the topic.

And you do not have to pm anyone, just report the post, it's located next to the "Thanks" button and we'll look at it asap.

Spam to me is posting alot in a small matter of time, if the posts are actually usefull it doesn't matter to me.
but let's take Xemgin, he just posts stuff like "good luck" "yes that title is true!" in alot of threads in a small matter of time.
and that's simply spam to me, leaving a message that isn't actually a "message".

but whatever, everyone has his own meaning of spam, if you would like to report someone for spamming do so, it's your own call.
we'll look into it and see if it's valid or not.

hope this clears it up for you, and the rest of the community who were wondering the same thing.

Still it's faster if he PM's a mod.
But probably i'm the only one who agree to receive a pm/report..

If they don't agree they can gtfo the mod team.
If you wanna know what spam is go look at following user's posts,

I see spam as generic posts, useless posts, annoying/troll posts, porn, idiotic posts, and anything not aimed to helping or relative to the thread.

Its not if you post three words your getting into trouble, if thoes words are authentic its fine.

Ex: A thread is made about a new clan and you post "Good luck" thats spam.
Reason: Its generic, if you wish them luck you could at least put effort into actually Good lucking them.
Solution: "Good luck Mutual on your clan and I would love to see some replays"

Taking about 30 seconds to make an authentic post goes along way. Not only does it make the person feel better but it also makes you not look like a random. Anyone can post Good luck to up their count but how many people truly mean it? By making a post as show in the solution can truly show you mean what you say.
