Spammers have rights too!!

25-05-2004, 03:45
I'm fed up hearing that all the server problems are due to spam. Word games are harmless fun. A little diversion.

I quite agree that multiple threads and real spam is annoying, but cummon word games?

Get a grip folks.

The RP guys tie up band width too, don't we have rights too.
Gays have rights, Bush supporters have rights etc etc etc What about us harmless spammers who "just want to hang out" the intro to General says?
Spend a few bucks and get a better server, or something whatever happened to this Jolt I heard about?
or
Give the rp guys a hard time too! quit picking on up harmless spammers!

Spammers of the world unite!

Speak up for you rights!

Yeah, look at the topic/posts ratio on II and then the topic/post ratio on General. All the unused threads.
25-05-2004, 03:52
They delete and delete and the problem persists.

stubtle spamming is much more fun. because the mods suspect that its spam, but cant do anything about it because its defendable.
25-05-2004, 04:04
Most of it is harmless fun. Some multiple threads and stuff is hard to take but word games????

Get a grip!

Personally, I think this Jolt thing was just to placate us. I'm not sure it even really exists.
25-05-2004, 04:12
I would gladly give up tons of posts if it meant something, anything.
It has NOT! Pick on someone else for once!

My spamming harms no one. I have made some cool friends here.

Spammers have rights too!

Do a purge in NS or II and see if THAT helps!

I wouldnt compare General to the RP forums, that is what this site was made for, Role Playing. And I'm saying this objectivly, I've never role played in my life. Go make your own forum for word games, or join the unmentionable forum.

Jolt is a fairytale mods tell people who complain about the server. :(

The reason I went to "forum unknown," was for that reason. I still try to visit here, but I am a ghost among a sea of people.

You know you wanna come back. ;)

Bah....I like NS to that place. Too many angsty outcasts of NS there that complain about stuff that happend a long time ago on the internet...not even in real life. Holding grudges and hate towards the mods that did it to them.

Not the sorta people I'd like to be around...

Not saying that everyone on there is like that. Like you, for example. But the ones that are just...spoil it.

I like spammers (so long as they stay in thier own threads) and I like spamm topics. I love word games and temples, bars and coffee shops. I think a little random sillyness makes everyone happy. Heck, even the mods were playing along for a while, when they were posting in the temples and such.
Spamm is the bite size, chocolate covered candies that makes the heavy meals of roleplay and political discussion bearable. Even to those of use who participate in both.
I know that I come over and play word games when I need a break to think about a RP story line or to recover form the latest political verb war.
