Ooh, I like this rule. Kudos and things.

Geez, people, you will know it's spam when you see it. Usernames like 'Spamfuck' and 'sirmcspamalots' are usually red lights. You'll notice series of topics in Caps Lock. It's pretty easy.

And now I'm going to ask a really stupid question out of curiosity...

If the points don't go to Pengy, where do they go? Is there like an Island of Misfit Points? Or are they just like virtually blown up? I never though about this before.

Pengy explained. If it's a first post that sounds almost serious, like "OMG! can i lyk get pregnant if....[insert something stupid here]", it won't be a problem. Pengy speaks of the obvious spam, and members who reply to every Spam-topic (spopic?) they see in order to get points. If it's obvious spam, like porn or something, and you don't know it's spam, then you have a problem.

(And everyone will read the announcement, it blinks! There is no excuse for ignoring the announcement blink.)

I hardly think deducting points is going to halt spammers. They don't do it for points. They do it to be fucking annoying.

If it really is so much work for the mods to delete it all, surely the obvious answer is to hire more mods?

So in theory, if I were to report a post that was spam, and post in it to say that people need to stop posting in it, I would get 25 penalty points and a warning, because I posted to tell other people to stop.  

Somehow this new policy feels more born of blind frustration than careful planning...



How would posting in a topic saying "please stop posting" be beneficial anyway?

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.

When it says "during an all out spam attack" does that mean when we're getting lots of spammy topics or when one topic is nothing but spam?
