As many of you may know, there have been a lot of spam posts at DHB, especially recently. The staff at DHB hasn't been strict about it and we don't want to be. We want everybody to have fun and we don't mind some detail-lacking posts here and there. However, recently things have gotten out of hand and we finally have to take some action regarding it. We are asking that all of you please try to cut down on the spam posts... this is directed to everyone so don't make excuses saying that you have seen staff members spam as well. When I say spam, I am talking about posts that bring absolutely no contributions to the board. This isn't the kind of spam where people go crazy posting random things. We are talking about consistently making posts lacking any sort of quality. This includes smiley only replies, 2 words posts, posts completely off topic and so on. Here are some examples of spam: 1. :lol: 2. I like it 3. yeah I agree, he is good. 4. oh snap! Those are all posts that will not be accepted from here on out on this board. When we see them, we are going to take some sort of action. First, we will simply warn you or maybe one of us will talk to you about it. If it continues, your punishment could result in a suspension or possibly even ban. Again, we don't want to go there and ban you... we aren't trying to be power hungry. It's just come to our attention that the spam-like posts on this board have gotten out of control. Here are some ways to help correctly reply to a topic (using the examples from above) 1. :lol: - Please don't just reply to a topic with a single smiley. If you think somethings funny, please reply with a normal sentence. 2. I like it - This is referring to someone commenting on anothers work on a sig/graphic in the GFX department. If you don't have anything to say that may possibly help the poster of the graphic, please hold your comments to yourself. If you wish to complement the poster, include what you liked about the graphic. 3. yeah I agree, he is good - Go into more detail. That reply helps absolutley nothing except your post count. Explain why you think this person is good... basically post something that could contribute something to the thread. 4. oh snap! - Lets work on not saying this as often. This new rule with especially be enforced in baseball-related forums but we are trying to improve the spam across the whole board. This includes the General Discussion forum as well. We like to have fun in there but try to post with more quality in there. Anyways, this shouldn't affect your experience on the board as we want you to have a good time here and an enjoyable posting environment. Please help us by cutting down on the non-quality posts, it will greatly be appreciated. Again, we don't want to go around looking to catch you making bad posts... that is not why we're doing this. We are trying to improve the overall quality of the board. Thanks for the understanding, mpic92 If you have any questions regarding this topic, please feel free to send me a PM |
