Spammers Ho

[NejinOniwa]

Are our mods being lenient, or just missing stuff?
Anyways, someone rid us of this guy. Four posts, two of each "Call for Papers" shit. Aurora, Tsubashi, someone. Anyways.

Bring us the hammer, already, would you? Pleez.

Kill it with fire.

Oh Admins, where art thou!

[Aurora Borealis]

Action taken! I deleted three of those four threads, letting one remain to let the author know although his/her posts were for a good cause, this forum is not a proper place to put it as it is completely irrelevant to us (besides, none of us would be able to participate)! I warned that he/she should post it in a much more suitable place, that is... I decided to let him/her off with a warning this time. Bans should only be used for the worst of offenders.

Good call and thanks for the swift justice, Aurora-dono! ^^

[Tsubashi]

Thank you Aurora-dono, you fill your duties well. I'm sorry for not catching those.
I think I accidentally offended Captain-san, and so I'm not sure if she still checks the forums. Gomen nasai. I will try to do a better job in the future

Good job aroura, it seems my faith and trust was well placed. However, I would thusly saggest that the user who has not posted anything relevant to the ostans and seems to be here simply to advertise something else (tho impressivly, NOT porn) be removed and the topic deleted, just as we do for the porn spam bots. If there is a real user behind the posts, they would have posted again by now.

who hates spammer.....?

Don't know if this fits in here but,
a user with the name "cybercuate" is posting 2letter "spam messages" to several threads...

So if anyone reads this message, do check him and do your conclusions.

[NejinOniwa]

I say it definitely does. And spotted. Makes me wants to choke a bitch.
Trying to track this guy, but can't find anything else than various spanish shit. I say swat the hammer on him, but that's mainly 'cause I'm pissed.
There also is the possibility of a bot somehow taking over his account, in the case we should permanently delete it; however, how this would work I have little knowledge of - still, his messages don't exactly scream of "sentient" behavior. Well, except that one Spanish post - which is basically all I've been able to deduct that he is.
Also, someone's gotta do SOMETHING about this massive newcomer influx, it's breaking up into chaos! >_< For example there's some guy with his own TWO one-post pseudo-intro-threads...

Caught this one, as well. Clearly does not belong.

In the light of these events, the question is whether to live and let live and let interest fade, or to remake our policies and take more action around these things...

Added after 1 minutes:

Policy question, again. Yep, we definitely need revision.

Yeah, this site really needs some staff remodelling.

So many threads that needs to be deleted and things that needs to be done, still, the staff seems to be too busy with something else.

Hmmm, somehow, this starts to look like the politics over here...

[NejinOniwa]

Politics...? Moar liek, DELETICS!!!  ;006

Politics...? Moar liek, DELETICS!!!  ;006

Yes, if you mean gun ownerships in finland.

[NejinOniwa]

Sad story, that. We're next up over here, I guess.
