[Q] Is this ok?

I will not blame those members because there's no set rules for such type of posting, it's not ethically right approach and I believe everyone should fix such mistakes and do not repeat such type of posting again.

You know I try to imagine such type of posting by more users, and forum starts looking like a spam fest — this is deffo not right, and if there should be a 'rule' to restrict users from such type of posting, then it should be made.

I have posted a topic about it but there is no positivity that something good will come out of the thread.

This is the thread

Maybe if an established member like LoyceV, Lovesmayfamiles or Nutildah can create a thread about it, it will be better because the admin may listen to them. At least 7 days ban or 30 days signature ban will be good for such people.

I was aware of the thread, but it kinda went over my head, so being unsure I didn't mention it.

There might be other members doing such thing, some might do it intentionally some might by mistake. The ones who're doing such a thing regularly are the ones increasing spam on the forum. The ones who regularly post on gambling boards know better that there are many spam posts at those boards but still there's no such rules against that type of spam, and I believe it's not possible to set such rules.

I would say that the best a user could do is to report such posts if he/she finds such posts, the report will let moderators do their job, it's on them to either merge such posts or delete the posts. That will increase the work load of moderators but at least that'll help to reduce such type of spam on the forum. Another option is to ignore the members who do such type of posting but that's someone's personal decision.

Why not? Create a rule about such types of posts (I don't think rule 32 is exactly for such type of posting, is it?), and when such posts are reported, mods give user temp ban and with each repeated offense the duration of ban increases.

That will increase the work load of moderators but at least that'll help to reduce such type of spam on the forum.

I don't think it'll increase workload significantly. Getting punishment in form of temp bans, either user will learn to not repeat it or they'll keep getting elaborated bans, profit?


By the way, what should rule look like!?

— Posts that are there prior to post you are making must be responded in single post!?
