#33  They do go a long away, but they're not enough for this junkie to get his spammy fix.  But alternatively you could say that some people, fed up by all of the spammy posts, would look out for on-topic posts and read them all the more eagerly. This board does indeed have boards for non-spam discussion, so why is anyone against spam when there are spam-free havens elsewhere on the board? I don't have a problem with any 'stuck up' folks stopping spam, but it does irritate me that people treat them with less worth than any other types of post here. I don't have a problem with the current EoFF spam levels, however I would have a problem if there was a mass anti-spam campaign by the staff. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but from the way some people react to it... Correct. Not everyone gets joy or amusement from reading pages and pages of spam. But there are still an awful lot who do. Last edited by Psychotic; 05-14-2005 at 06:29 AM. |

| Former Staff | But through the spam, that would be hard to find, and if the thread holds more spam over non-spam posts, they would not even bother. Also, instead of posting single examples for that "Jesus H. Christ." One could have listed several examples all into one post.  |

| Banned  | Question! Psy, why do you think you're so friggen entitled? This isn't your forum, it's not for spam and it's not going to change because you find it fun. The people in charge don't like it. So it's not allowed.  Correction. No one enjoys reading it, except for the people doing it, at the exact momment they're doing it. Then they just look at the ammount of posts they made later on. |

| Cid's Knight | I don't think I'm entitled. I don't recall stating that I was entitled...friggen or otherwise. But I'm not the only one who finds it fun, Kane, otherwise I'd be the only one who does it but I'm not. If they want to ban all spam from here, then let them, I'm not going to say my constitutional rights are being infringed or whatever, I'll just pack up and play somewhere else. But while I'm here, I'm going to express my opinion on the forums, and my opinion on the forums is that spam is good. Whoever wishes to read my opinions can take it or leave it. Correction. That's a generalisation. |

| Recognized Member  | Because there are places elsewhere specifically for spam. A little spam in the other places is good... but that's all those places are for. A little. For fun. Pages and pages of it isnt accepted here, and it's annoying when people make threads in ANY forum on this board and that's what they turn into. I dont have a problem with the current levels either, I just dont see why running a board a certain way means the people dont know how to have fun. Different people, different fun. And yes, there are an awful lot. There's an awful lot of people who enjoy porn, and there's boards out there for them, right? Im not comparing spam to porn by any means. But it does get quite annoying when someone makes a thread outside EotW or EoEo and gets it spammed six ways to hell, and it ends up closed. That's when it becomes a problem, I think. When people actually want a thread answered, serious topic or not, they more than likely have to put it in EotW or EoEo to get anything aside from 10 real answers an 50 spams. Spam is fine, in moderation, as the admins have accepted. |

| Cid's Knight | I didn't say banning spam meant that people don't know how to have fun. I said that losing the art of pacing oneself was "Better than losing the art of having fun". I would rather have fun than pace myself, I was mainly speaking for myself rather than others on that occasion. I accept everyone has different ideas of what constitutes as fun, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to stand up for what I believe is fun too. Correct, porn cannot be compared to spam, as the staff have always been extremely anti-porn, but more moderate on the spam, and I think their approach is fair. If I was enthusiastic about porn, I'd post it at EoFF and I'd be doing what I am now: Defending it in a thread specifically about it. (Well, I wouldn't, as I'd be banned, but oh well ) Anyway, I could understand if there was a spam epidemic, and people couldn't make a thread without it being spammed...well...six ways to hell...but that isn't the case at EoFF. Even General Chat has a large number of open threads that have not been spammed beyond all repair, and as far as I am aware, that is the only forum where spam occurs...other than this one, of course. I think the "10 real answers and 50 spams" claim is a gross exaggeration. Even in General Chat, you'd be more likely to get 50 "real" answers and 10 spams rather than the other way around. |

| Recognized Member | Well if they're pacing themselves in regards to spam, isnt that the same thing? And from what I've noticed, that pretty much is the situation in GC. It may not look that way to you, but it certainly does to me, though granted we of course have different ideas of that. The thread that spawned this discussion is a perfect example. edit: We're arguing? |
