Title: Should people be allowed to spam for potential activity?
Post by: Robertt on February 07, 2016, 07:06:43 AM
I mean sure, you can do it slowly with high quality posts but damn..
I'm sick of seeing this shit posts that are so noticeable, and then when I look into it I realise that my suspicions were right. Accounts spamming for potential activity. I've found like four in the past two hours without looking in to it, and spammed posts are getting annoying.

The problem is that once they reach senior/hero they are most likely used to scam or basically alts to farm money off of signature campaigns which is a problem because most of them don't allow alts & scammers are just a problem them self..

you posted this on the wrong section. it should be in meta.

spamming, for any reason and in any form, is not allowed. if you feel that they have a lot of low quality posts you can report them to the mods by using the "Report to the Moderators" button.

You can report them if you notice this behaviour but his posts don't seem that bad really. Usually people just start quickly spamming off topic threads with short answers to rank up and they will get banned if it's noticed.

I've seen a lot o these and tried my best to just ignore them. Well I think they should all be deleted and when the pot. activity spammers noticed that it got deleted he will be surprised that the activity he's farming is not showing because his posts got deleted. :D There are tons of it in the off tolic boars mate, you should go check the all in there ;D
