Warnings.

[Blu]

Following the recent incident with gekogoth009's protest against the suspension of the 'shaddowspinner' account; may I suggest a "Warnings" section of some sort.

Uptil now, I believe we've been rather discrete about our dealings with problematic members behind the scenes (a lot of the time). And a p[roblem with this is that no-one sees the actions we take in order to enforce our anti-SPAM.

My suggestion will highlight people who are SPAMMING and the actions we have taken against them. In order to warn other members about things that "may" seem like spamming.

Please add any further thoughts or ideas or even questions about this system.

((was that too formal sounding... ;D))

hmm.. that's true. A lot of things were done behind the scenes, through PM. Therefore I have given 'titles' of spam warning for specific members who have been spamming a lot. They are warnings, not only to that member, but also to other members so they know. However, when someone randomly posts a word or two response in about 20% of their total post, what else can we do- except delete them?

Yes, what I refering to in particular was how in the latest case, gekogoth009 was particularly self-centred and saying how of everything "he'd seen"* from her posts was not spam.

Why not just have a solid section where we record SPAM-like actions; and warn people by posting up their name? It should lessen the misunderstandings such as in the last case.

*probably mostly likely limited to his writing section.

Spamming shouldn't be a huge issue, as most members don't do it, apart from the few mentioned.

I don't really like the idea of posting up people's name who spam like that, cause thats kinda like name pointing, if you know what I mean o.o
