Spamming is just basically, saying nonsense stuff. But, you are not the only one spamming. ~


For everyones  info, it is not worth spamming. But, I am pretty sure that at least 70% of people have spammed on the boards, but spamming just to get a higher rank is not worth it.

your percentage is correct. the other 50% are people who haven't posted.

spamming is adding nothing to the thread. good spam is making funny comments.

increasing post count FTW.

they got into a little argument in the Open Discussion thread, which ended badly, and as a result of their behavior, they have been warned. if they continue this behavior, it's quite possible that they will be banned.

SomeKittens getting banned...right. I never would have thought he could even be warned...

We all make mistakes, no matter what.  King David was an adulterer, and King Solomon married foreign wives, which lead to his worship of idols.  The key is to change yourself to the better.

I'm glad to see you're asking questions like this, M.  It shows you want to do better and contribute to the forums.

Glad to hear that.  I thought I'd never be warned either.  Guess we both know what happens before a fall!

Then, when you spam enough and actually make your spam comments funny, you can't possibly be accused ever again. I mean, Sauce can post ANYTHING and he'll get +1. You get to be liked on the forums (or not) and it's basically impossible to recover from that status.  ;D

Sauce is more of a troll than a spammer. the spam he does is always related to something somebody said.

I'm just proud to see TKP all growed up and pwning trollz :tear:
Sig steal!

*Tips hat* We took trolling to an art. We now use our trolling skills to pwn wanna-be trollz, though some we let alone due to thier level of troll skillz(Sauce, I'm looking at you.). Anyways, our past was a bunch of kids just having fun, and despite our diversities, meshing and becoming friends. We all grew exponentially from it. My screenname is still a tip of the hat at our old group. Look at the capitals in my name and you'll see (My Initials from the old board were RR).

TKP was the biggest bunch of troublemakers ever. The other members and I probably would have been banned (at least temporarily) under the current standards (and some of us actually were, though never permanently). But we were a lot more skilled than the wanna-be trollers we have running around today and rarely (if ever) were malicious about our spamming/trolling.

Now, we're still fun-loving and indulge in an occasional really really good troll/spam, but we're not troublemakers anymore. Our reputation has gone from "oh no, them again, plz assist needs ban," to fairly well-respected (I think...;D). So while you have a reputation as an annoying spammer now, you're not stuck with that stigma (although it will take a while). Good use of the English language including punctuation and grammar is a HUGE plus.

my reputation changed a bit, I think. I went from a little King Jo kid who spammed but didn't know what spam was, and my reason for playing redemption over magic was because it's Christian, to a slightly older Ring Wraith guy who spams (sometimes....okay, well a lot, but I don't really troll...) but now knows what spam is, and my reason is now because it's fun. I also have better spelling than I used to...

And notice that his posts still have bad grammar and improper English? It is impossible to shake a bad reputation without intelligent-looking English. Not perfect or even high-school-paper acceptable, but you'll always be treated as a nubcake when your posts have no punctuation or capitalization.

I did. I didn't support anyone there, I just hate when people call the name of Jesus and say they are a Christian only to judge others and then when someone points anything about them out yell at them. I'm not saying that they are right, I'm just saying you need to work on turning the other cheek. It is just words, yes they hurt but just ignore them. Truthfully your spelling and grammar would be easier to read if they were proper but that is aside the point.

Well, "turn the other cheek" doesn't mean what we think it means, but I agree with the sentiment behind that post.

If you truly don't care what other people think about you, why do you make a scene when we tell you that if you use your native language better, people will respect you more?

If you do care what people think of you, why don't you just fix the major thing that causes people to view you as a noob?
