Spam?

I know this is mild, but what is up with repeatedly spamming with images of Hoff.

I believe he was already asked once to discontinue.

Y'know, if anyone were going to complain about that, I figured it'd be you. :rolleyes:

And for the record, I was told not to post a particularly annoying Hoff gif, and I haven't posted it since.

Glad I could help you out. If you knew you'd get complaints about the spam, here's a thought - don't spam.

And as more evidence -

To be fair, to a lot of people, half of what goes on in General could be labled 'spam'. If you really want to get that anal about things, have it relabled 'Politics & Current Events Only' and ship the rest to the Spam forum. Or are you suggesting every inane comment, picture response, smiley post, cheap one-liner, 'hello' post, and all the rest of those things that don't get harped on and reported every single instance they happen (which would not doubt keep the Mods horribly busy given the frequency), are any less what you reported here? If so, you've been falling down on the job, Jocabia - there's a whole lot of it out there still.

Take this observation for what it's worth - an observation. *shrugs*

You spend an awful lot of time on me. You should probably try to find a hobby -- preferrably one that doesn't involve me.

Personal vendetta. I suspect you spent much more time on spamming with Hasselhoff images, so I might give you the same advice.

Fixed for accuracy.

EDIT: Bleedin' timewarps.

I didn't go looking for it. I saw enter a couple of threads I was participating in simply to add Hoff pictures. When he acted like I was being unreasonable, I posted more of the links to show a pattern. I'd agree with you there are likely many more people doing it, but it doesn't change whether or not it's within the rules of the site.

Search function. I suspect you spent much more time on spamming with Hasselhoff images, so I might give you the same advice. The difference being, of course, that "the Hoff" doesn't continually interrupt threads you're involved to post inane images, so my few second post on you is hardly less justified than your spam. Meanwhile, I'm not really interested in bickering with you. I presented the case to the mods, they are welcome to handle it as they will. I don't see how personal attacks on me are helping your cause.

Now fellas, there is no reason to argue in Moderation. Just let the mods come and do their job.

Justice will be served.

Cluich, Jocabia is well within his (assuming on the gender) right to report something to Moderation if he (again...) feels it is necessary. You, however, are not within your right to spam images, nor are you allowed to go after someone for reporting something. Defend your case, yes, but do not fued with Jocabia, especially here of all places. I'd suggest you adjust your conduct accordingly before the Mods do. Their warnings hold a bit more weight than mine.

There's a bit of history of which you aren't aware, SB. And you'll notice that I stopped replying to Jocabia's posts.

We have a history? Hehe. I didn't know that. Something new everyday, I suppose. I guess that explains the claims of the personal vendetta, that I found nonsensical. I think you'll find you're not nearly as important to me as you think. I was annoyed by the constant spamming. No more. No less. I don't have little pictures of Cluichstan on my dartboard, believe as you might.

Let's not turn this into one of those crappy forums where posting pictures is a substitute for thought. Once may be funny, but come on... quit spamming. The next step is to ban pictures completely, and nobody wants that.

Jokes are one thing, posting a picture because "this thread doesn't have Hoff yet" is spam.

Thanks for keeping it clean, Hack (for both threads).

So does anyone know what is going on in Sudan at all???

So does anyone have a clue what that has to do with this thread?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw that Beckley's decided it'd be smart to spam the mod forum. :rolleyes:

..it clearly says "spam?" on the top as a title..Now I took that to mean spam or talk about anything on here.Maybe it was just my misinterpretation... No need for the attitude. Thanks

In this forum. The Moderation forum. You report people breaking rules. Just cause the title says "spam?" doesn't mean you can spam here. It means someone is reporting another person for spamming up a thread somewhere in the NS Section of Jolt.


Please go read the rules. They are located HERE (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023)
