If i found a funny picture on the internet i posted it in the spam thread to share with others. but I gues with these rules you applied to the spam thread, people are going to spam outside of the spamthread again but we'll see how this turns out. other question: - 4. do the color tags still work ?

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.     Garner    Posted 21st Jun 2005 10:46am Post 911 / 4125 Quoting Mostertman owkee a couple of questions bout spam thread: - 1. why doesn't you postcount show any more in the spamthread? Because any thread marked as spam causes everyone that posts in there to not increase their postcount. If someone starts a topic which later gets marked as spam the postcounts of everyone who already posted in there are reduced accordingly as well. Quote - 2. why isn't the spamthread a sticky anymore? Its not an important thread. Quote - 3. and why does your postcount go down with 2 when posting there? It doesn't... the -2 that was showing briefly is the internal code that tells the forum script that the thread in question is a spam thread. Its got nothing to do with your post count... although I do like the idea of reducing post counts with spam. That would seriously cut down on the amount we get Quote If i found a funny picture on the internet i posted it in the spam thread to share with others. but I gues with these rules you applied to the spam thread, people are going to spam outside of the spamthread again but we'll see how this turns out. If they do they'll find out very quickly what its like to have their ability to post in the forums removed. The obsession some people have with increasing their post count is stupid. "Science is this extraordinary transnational, transcultural, trans-everything language which is the only way to discover Truth and its regrettable that billions are still stuck in the Middle Ages believing the crap propagated by Popes and priests..." - Peter Atkins
