ATTN: Killer please read

[Memnoch]

Killer, over the past few weeks I have posted you numerous requests, pleas and entreaties to stop regularly spamming in the BG2 Bar thread (as well as other threads). Other forum members have also asked you to stop spamming on that thread. I have received complaints from a number of people about your spamming.

You may think this is all a big joke, but it isn't. I draw your attention to the following posts made by you:

i love spam!(sorry i am late)

ahhh i will spam youlaternow i have to get backto the bar

what do you mean outside the topicke? lets say i have to get out more of you i now where you live

All posted AFTER I have given you numerous warnings (in some cases you have posted spam IMMEDIATELY after the warnings!). I have also had to edit out some of your more extreme forms of spam which elongated the forum pages.

I am no longer asking you, I am TELLING you that all this ends RIGHT NOW. Constant and regular spamming is a violation of our Terms of Service. I am no longer going to give you warnings, failure to stop spamming will result in you and your IP subnet being banned.

I'm sorry that it's come to this, I hate being a hardass, but I refuse to keep repeating myself.

I await your reply here that you will stop spamming.

BUMPing fo rkiller. Come on, mate, you don't really want to be deleted do you? A joke's a joke, but this is serious now

Unfortunately Killer's IP and IP subnet have been banned after his post in the BG1 forum. Certainly not something we enjoy doing, but Ironworks has guidelines that must be respected to protect everyone here.

Is this a trick question?

Here's the FOLDOC definition for you.

spam
1. (From the Monty Python "Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to one or more Usenet newsgroups or mailing lists in deliberate or accidental violation of netiquette.


JUST FOR THE RECORD: Killer wasn't banned for his spamming, though that did contribute to it. It was for posting a deliberate and malicious unmarked spoiler in the BG1 forum. Doing THAT will get you banned immediately, no questions asked.

Memnoch - your 'ATTN:please read' threads are the Ironworks equivalent of being 'summoned to Rome' by Caligula or having your homework marked 'SEE ME' by the headmaster.

REALLY? I'm not that scary, am I?

On a more serious note, I hate having to do it - but I will if I have to.

They had to be. Mnemoch gave Killer LOADS of warnings/polite requests and he followed each one with 2 or 3 spams immediately after

Spot on. He had been warned far more then he needed to be. The spam was bad. You did a good job, Memnoch. At least you didn't put this one's eye out doing it ... You hate to have to do it, but we do have to keep the integrity of the forum as a fun place to be at optimal levels. This is the by-product of it. You did the right thing.

Later
