hall of shame (single, members, myspace, quote, band)

If someones come on here to advertise something then there's very little chance of them staying around and contributing if their links or whatever are taken down. In the end it's a lot easier than having to trudge around editing threads and signatures.

Or, at least, electronically force them to read the rules before they can register. You might be talking about the really obnoxious ones--I don't know. But, I think some people just don't know in the beginning....

Yesterday when I came online here I had to delete 6 accounts and all their posts and about about 12 threads , and deal with 2 members queries which meant spending approx 15 mins doing this before I could even begin to post anything myself.

If I was to edit all the posts individually and then start PMing reminders to people telling them to read the rules, then you could add about another half hour to that.

And the thing is only a small minority of these spammers bother coming back once they've got their spam posted to read these PMs.

Instead of spammers the Hall Of Shame should include the best of the worst. WendyCal, Cobe Kai, RockGuitar101 etc.

Ok, got it. Seems like there could be an electronic mechanism to save you time though--e.g., forced terms of agreement before people sign up, or a way of preventing adding links until members have 25 posts. But, you've been at this longer then me, so...

i think that it is a matter of courtesy to inform people why their posts are being deleted. i made two dozen posts today. they are all gone, and i have no idea why.

i did not post any links.
i did not break any rules.

it's a very strange feeling, trying to become part of a online community, only to be pushed away with such vehemence...

Your welcome here.
If your posts were deleted, then I'm sure there was a good reason.

Re-read the rules if you're unsure of something.

Strange. I didn't see anything wrong with your previous posts.
