I think that we should make a spam section, where you can spam all you want, yet the post count will not change. This will make the spam alot less, because now, people cannot spam for more post counts. If some one is spamming outside of the 'Spam' section, then we will give that person a 'warning', this 'warning' will be in red color, located under your Username, this will be seen by everyone, and everyone will acknowlege that you are a spammer. Once someone gets five warnings, they will be banned from this site ( may be IP or Account Ban ).
And that's my Anti-Spam guide. ^^
no flames please
I am well aware of all the spammers and I frown opun these spammers. I also agree that people who spam, just do it to gain post counts and shouldn't be allowed. I understand your point of view as well and I agree no doubt, but I fear alot of members would leave this community and shoot down overall population. I know Lord Silver seeks this community to be the most famous and losing population is not making this true. I hate spammers and I see what you are trying to achieve but we should just deal with them another way. Don't mark them as spammers and dont seperate them from our world. We must find another way. The warning system works well, but labeling them is not the best approach. That is all no harm.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
Still, I think we should have a specific section where all these 'spam' messages can go into, ( section is specially edited so that the posts inside that section does not increase your post count), sound good?
and take away the warning things
alot of spam is cleaned up by myself and elfen....When we see mulipke post in a row we merge them together...making 3 post into 1...This does decrease their post count as well
a warning system could work like u stated As elfen and i have the authority on this site to issue out warnings and such.
not sure if making it so your post total doesnt go up can be done, but an area for spammage threads can be done, ill talk to Umaro and see what can be done.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
