    You're missing the point, Jake.

    It is not about spamming. It's about spamming 1100 posts in 3 months.

    It is about what the purpose of doing so is.

    And more importantly, it is about what benefit (if any!) it brings to this Forum. Would it make the other discussions more valuable? I don't think so.

    It's not a healthy practice. If one has a lot of trashes to spit out, he should do so with his/her real friends in the real world, or do it thru the appropriate channels.

    Swamping the threads with pointless replies is in no way appropriate.

    Besides no one is telling IGT to get out. He said himself he might be leaving (which I doubt he'll actually do so). No one forces him to do such and such things.

    Relatively, he can't force people to like him or do such and such things.

    Oh here we go...

    Try thinking "giving DVD news". The one single reason why my count is high.

    I was very much considering it...

    Gee, that's a good idea. Now why don't I just start a thread called 'Upcoming DVDs from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de & Amazon.ca'? I'm sure the entire Forum, no, the entire world would benefit from my 'contibutions' of round-the-clock updates of what's coming on DVDs, since I assume the other Forum members won't check the sites themselves, nor the other websites like Davis DVD, Coming Soon.com etc. Plus I'll cover every freakin' genre, from Disney to soft porn.

    And you know what? Maybe starting from today I'll just reply to every single thread, asking moronic questions and throwing in crap comments. Surely even the MODs will call me a spam, but who cares? If someone argues with me I'll just pick the words from his/her replies and reply it the way I like, or with 'LOL. Funny Funny Funny'.

    I'll also post half-a** info the Movie News. Hey I heard from the kid down the block Sigorney Weaver will be on AvP. Cool Stuff. I'll post it to the Forum. Hey it's just talks on the net - cheap and irresponsible, who cares if it's not true?

    Hell I'll even ask JP to change my screen name to I Got Trash.

    After all, I wasn't doing anything wrong.

    (MODs. if I were you. I'll close this thread asap so spams like me won't write moronic replies like this.)

    Use the ignore button peple. I've seen much wosrse spammers tha I Got trailers, and you know what. Spam is something that happens with forums, every forum. Now if you want to go off at I Got Trailers then remember that at least he's not posing as a girl and cybering with you all. Atleast he's not one of those who comes and never goes ever after being banned 50 times. I believe he genuinely wasn't to be a member of this forum, he has made a few posts that I've enjoyed reading and he hasn't attacked anyone, so just back off. This thread is useless, and the ones who are attacking an individual are the ones who are out of order!!!

    My concern is always this: how would you know if he's who he claims he is?

    He never come back after being banned 50 times because he hasn't been banned yet.

    So was discostu.

    So was GermanFinne/Matrix

    Now how do we know if they won't do the same if the big B falls on them?

    If there's only one or two members picking on the same guy, they're bullying. But even the MODs has by now claimed he's spamming. Are you saying all of us, including the MODs, are out of order?

    Above all, you still don't see the point: it's not about personal preference of one certain member, (BTW Ignore List is being utiltised to do just that.) it's about the unhealthy trends the forum is being led into. Sure there's spammers in most Forums. But why can't this Forum be an exception instead of conforming to the norm? Why can't this Forum be a difference?

    I didn't vote on this topic because I agree with Editman. Who cares? Now you people cannot tell me that it doesn't get on your nerves when someone makes a huge hype over their own post counts.

    IGT, i gotta tell ya. Your sig is dumb. Now you're calling yourself a spammer. That's even worse than acting like one.

    And the thing is, why do most of ya'll make a HUGE deal about spam? Aren't we allowed to say what we want? I've talked about what spam is and that's stupid and annoying. BUT- we make a big deal out of it. We argue about it, we make up threads and polls about it, and heck we can get banned over it!

    Three things I wish:
    1) Discostu to go away forever and never to be seen again.
    2) To be banned so I can never come back again.
    3) The Rock in my bed

    Sorry, I feel better now. And I totally agree w/ asidz. We need to make love with each other, not make war... okey doke?

    I Got Trailers, hello again, you know what? if you were seriously considering leaving, then just GO! save us all this frickin drama! i'm gettin so sick of it. And I don't wanna see your sig again! I might as well have you join discostu on my ignore list. You're acting like such a child! I bet you were only threatening to leave because just like most people here that have done before, to make you stay and make us feel bad about how we have been treating you. Oh for God's sake, JUST GO!!!!!!! you can even get a different name and act different, i don't care! i'm getting quite used to that! and you'll still be on my ignore list. *sighs* it feels great to let it all out.

    Editman- my buddy, i love ya, but you have stated your point quite enough! Lay off IGT's back, just for a couple of days. Then you can do b*tch at him. It's because of you, IGT's whining like a baby. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's tired of it! I STILL WUV YA!!!!!

    Carl- I agree with you there. It isn't like we haven't been thru this before. But we get new peeps and we just gonna have to go thru something like this every now and then.

    Note to myself- you need a vacation.......

    For you, my dear, I'll do anything*.

    And so I rest my case on this spamming saga.

    After all, this whole thing is beyond my control and in fact none of my business.

    (Hmmm... but what happened to #4 on the wish list:

    bouncing like aS!Dz's avatar?

    corresponding to my wish list item #4:

    going to Texas just to watch Stef demonstrating her bouncing for me

    :big grin: )

    LOL, very well put, I know it's not a big deal but this is where we spend some time every day and I'd like to see actual info, gossip, or opinions or whatever, NOT THRASH that is spam

    Yes but until we reach a point where we find out for sure that's he's not who he claims to be then I say innocent until proven guilty. One of the few American sayings I abide by. Besides which, has JP attacked I Got Trailers, insulted him and started threads flaming him? Not to my knowledge, and since this is JP, and Blancboy's forum, then even if a mod was to do these things it would be out of order, and I wouldn't be afraid of pointing this out. It's one thing to point out that he's spamming, it's another to ignore the fact that you are ignoring him and start flaming. Remember that he is not a computer program designed to spam this forum, he is actually a person sitting at his computer, and I for one wont accept that we're allowed to just annoint him as the forum whipping boy. Leave him be, ignore him if you like, but if you do that then ignore him. I ignore someone in this forum, you probably all know who it is, but when was the last time I left a comment with this member, I didn't pull a Radstar did I? That's what the ignore list is for, it is not there to hang over every member in the forum as a threat to force them o conform by your standards.

    Oh, and yes. This is a forum, and it is innerant in the internet that there can be no real law. Ban someone and they can still come back, so there will always be spam in every forum, and flaming any member is just going to cause them to spam a lot more!!!

    Sorry to ask, but why?
    Oh for God's sake, JUST GO!!!!!!!
    Because I feel that I make up to you lot.

    Well said! I was too polite to ask.

    Another stupid pointless thread.
    Let's get back to good stuff...

    Types of good threads:

    Movie News.
    Movie Reviews.
    Trailer talk.
    Hot or Not.
    What kind of transformer am I?

    Not-so-good threads:

    Is so-and-so a loser?
    Why do we spam so much?
    Yet another pointless spam thread.

    Points taken, carl. No hard feelings.

    What kind of transformer am I?
    Hehe. Good one, JPB.

    I think I'm an Inferno... (cos that's the only name of a transformer I can remember and spell out without looking up... besides AC-DC of course. )
