Thread: Do you report spam?

Well, thank god this is in Senseless Banter, seriously, i don't even class it as a question, more of a "look at me and what i can do!" moment.

Depends on what you class spam as. I think most of senseless banter is now spam. Just look at the post above me.

Sure do... there was this sketchy looking thread in Philosophy this morning (which I usually just lurk at) about Freddie Mercury, and there were like 20 links about random Freddie Mercury stuff, but looking at the actual link names they looked shady as hell, so i reported it.

NeAvO, I'm glad that you're back but pleeease don't add to the people that misunderstand what spam is!
*angry leer type face*

Spam is an advertisment. Strictly. Unsolicited online advertising to be precise.
Flooding, on the other hand, is unnecessary and meaningless content posted in large amounts. And flaming is harsh and hostile content aimed at specific people, simply put: insults, personal harsh rivalry, etc.

And yes, I report spam.

You're getting the hang of this.

I report advertising spam. I leave Jdea's posts alone.

I did not mean it as an insult, or spam, but it was just my immediate reaction to this thread thats all. I would not post things like this outside of the senseless banter forum, i'm not like some people on here.

So please don't judge me harshly, i got the impression people are doing so.

No, I think there are quite a few who would agree with you. We'll save the judgement.

You can't intend spam unless you intend to place a random annoying advertisement in your post!

Spam is advertising people! Is that so hard to grasp!?

Spam is a food-product people! Is that so hard to grasp!?

I understand, i just thought people were referring to me as a spammer

I understand you though, no doubt about that.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Though I do also report spam. And occasionally the absolutely retarded let's-put-it-out-of-its-misery kind of topics.

It is kinda slippery...

I even reported one of my own threads once.

The real Mark75?

Oh, that reminds me...

I always report advertisement spam as soon as I see it. If it is at the top of a forum, I post something really negative about it. I despise that rude schmuckery.

Yes.

You know that whoever made the spam will never see it don't you?

Yes, and I always type in "Spam!"

I try and type in witty comments.

I'm weired like that.

Maybe there is a one in a trillion chance somebody who knows somebody at the company will. That's enough reason for me. So is the possibility of messing up their sales by a few dollars.

I don't report spam. I DESTROY it! mwahahaha
