Poll:- Should Stolen Be Banned from Competitions for Spamming the Forum?

mikeydavies · 11-27-2008, 07:51 AM

Hi all, Right i'm sure you'll agree when I say that spamming in any shape or form is not good for the forum, now i've noticed that Stolen is making a lot of pointless posts and generally just not making any sense a lot of the times and has had a few choice words said to him like 'I see you're posting crap in peoples threads, thanks for doing it to mine!' Also, as he's just won the 'Top poster of the week award' I don't think it's fair on any of us fellow, genuine members to be beaten in a competition by somebody that has won pretty much on spam posts alone, I'm willing to bet that if his post count was looked at in depth that most of the posts would be scrapped cos they're full of crap!
Therefore, i've started this thread for us all to have a voice and let him know that it's not nice and won't be tolerated and ban/suspend him from competitions regarding posts until he proves that he can learn from his mistakes and start contributing to the community properly and not treat the site as a quick money maker by posting rubbish most of the time to get his post count up!
The poll above is anonymous, no names etc are held but are counted, anyone who wants to say something please do so below!
The mods have enough to do every day without filtering hard to find spam as well so lets all give them a hand and keep CLH's as spam free as possible

Stolen should be banned a few days I think.
He spams and annoys another members, discouraging the new ones...

Anybody with me?

I AM!

He posted a ridiculous reply to a thread earlier that was totally off topic.

Its like if you're not here to be encouraging and to help everyone then simply F*CK OFF!

Alright like i said before.... Gwerzal, Triple, 28th, STOLEN and I shouldn't be allowed in the post count competition

Thing is though Fades is that really until that/those people ask for themselves not to be included in a certain competition then they won't be excluded from it, not unless one of the mods makes it so really! Anyway, youl, 28ight and Triple still bring something to the community, whereas I haven't seen many (if any) useful posts come from Stolen, Gwerzal is different again as he's admin, it'd be like winning your own competitions! I personally think that he should be banned from competitions for a while at least and give him the chance to prove that he's here for the good of the community and not just for himself and to annoy other members and that this forum isn't just another of those to mess around on and upset people! I have noticed this evening that at least a few of his posts have been reasonable today and not just a load of crap but then Turncoat mentions that Stolen was back to his normal self again earlier so if he has read this thread atall then he hasn't taken much notice of it! At the end of the day it's up to the mods/admin to decide what to do in the long run and i'm glad i'm not the only one to notice the wierd and wacky comments that Stolen makes!
I see the poll is going quite well though, I wonder who voted no? that we'll never know as it's anonymous but I bet I could put £100 on who voted! Anyway, 10 to 1 majority so far so I think that's proved a point so far!

He has made a few good posts today. I'll give him that!

whats the poll status?

mikeydavies · 11-28-2008, 08:30 AM

Poll status is 10 yes and 1 no so far! I agree that i've seen a couple of his posts from yesterday and they weren't the same drivel that he's posted in the past! The only thing that riled me was the fact that he won the comp through spam and every thread/area you go to he seems to be there, it's like a cockroach running around trying to find a nice dark corner somewhere! (not a nice comparison I know but you get the point!) it's just been a bit too much really considering he only joined 9 days ago and has 288 posts to his name so far(that's without the ones that have most likely been wiped as spam!) so that works out at nearly 29 posts per day which is all good and easily possible but still excessive really! especially when most of the posts he makes don't really make any sense to anyone or asks questions that are clearly mentioned in the context of the thread itself!

Bump, so the tea time crew can see it and vote if needed!
