 		See, this is what happens when you don't follow very good advice from the admins:

jamesi wrote:
The better question: Why do we reply to spam? If we don't reply to spam threads, then spam threads can be deleted. Once people reply to spam threads, deleting them makes the subsequent posts look out-of-place.

Instead of replying to spam, simply PM an admin or moderator and let them know where the spam is.

Topic *sigh* locked.

Note: If you think that eliminating guests posts will eliminate spam, please think again. Take it from someone who personally takes care of spam posts.


I'm guessing that a Guest made a spam post, it was deleted by a mod/admin, but not before phoenix made his post. Now it kinda looks like phoenix5 made the spam post. And of course, now with everyone else responding to it - instead of just ignoring it and/or reporting it to a mod/admin - I have to come in and make a whole big reply.

Remember kids - if you don't respond to the bad posts, they just go away instead of being a sad reminder about not following the rules.

 		Really.


Unnecessary.


If you guys (again! I know we've said this before) merely left it alone for maybe 5 hours until we woke up and deleted the spam, I wouldn't have this ugly thread left behind of y'all waving flags and screaming "SPAM". But now I do and you all have the joy of knowing that someday, someone's going to search for your posts, and discover this fine, fine example of your brilliance.

CONGRATS!
