But why do WE get int trouble?

No one's forcing you to post.

Why do retards keep bitching about that they're going to get punished? Don't reply to spam, it's not hard. Plus, the majority of users that do reply to spam are just whoring points anyway.

What the fuck? Why are we being punished for spammers?
were being punished for replying to spammers.  If you don't reply to them, it'll stop them from posting pretty much because they only want attention, and well, if we don't reply they'll stop spamming.

How do we know if they're really spamming or they're just being complete and utter idiots with a topic? It's hard to tell idiots from spammers =\


Well, I'm sure he won't punish you if you go into a topic thats stupid, but not spam and say something about it. But if you just write some sort of spam to go along with it, yu should loose points.  I think he's mainly trying to stop the spam outbreaks., that are topics that just say "spam' or "aotheaoejlae" in it.  If you reply to them, you obviously know its spam.  He wouldn't do it for a stupid, but not spam topic.  Take it up with him though to be sure.

So why aren't all those people that replied warned and/or got 25 points deducted?

That's actually a good idea.  
 Hope everyone reads this topic.

It's an announcement.
Everyone will read it.

Or, we think they will. Some people never read them. Sucks to be them, I guess.

Eh, I'm pretty sure it'll only be applied to absolutely obvious situations where a user is posting a stream of constant shit, like now.

I'm not going to use this in grey areas.

I'm talking about when it's blatantly obvious, such as what is going on right now.

The only reason I did this is because it was the same people replying to all of spamfuck's topics, getting points while everyone else was actually doing the right thing and reporting it/ staying not involved.

It's not like I get the points that I take from you.  I'm not going to be a jerk and steal everyones points.  I just want the forums to be conducted fairly and with integrity.

Um, I'm pretty sure that if you do not reply, it will actually encourage the creation of more TOPICS.

no. Personally I don't think.  Because it'll be easier to sort out, by just banning the topic creator, and deleting the topic.  We probably got to wait until the next spamfest to find out though.

I also don't see the problem in posting something humorous to lighten the offensive tone of some of the said topics.

I believe that the spam is being dealt with well enough, and we don't need to go punishing members for replies that clearly do not break the guidelines. The topics just need to be deleted faster, that's all.

And as I said, if nobody replies, you may just have to delete more topics.

But you see, to me, that topic "Literacy is overrated" is spam, but technically it isn't. The OP is just a complete dumbass who needs to be banned for being one.
