If you try to "fight" spammers by flaming them, you're just as bad as them.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Making threads complaining about spammers is just as bad.

I can't PM everyone telling them to stop paying attention to spammers. I'm not complaining, here, all I'm saying is that responding to spammers is every bit as bad as being one. This is all I'm going to say on the subject, you'll see no more posts from me on it.

Sorry to the mods in advance for my actions tonight. I felt, and still feel that my best course of action was to tell people that they shouldn't be replying to him. I guess I'm a hypocrite.

Actually, I think this is a hugely relevant thread. People who think they own this Forum try to combat spammers by saying they're going to get angry, and acting like they actually have some authority to stop spam.

The thread's concept was right, but my execution and the way I behaved on the forums in general tonight just wasn't in anyone's best interest.

Hardly -- compared to a host of users who were acting like they control the Flood earlier.

Just because some may have been worse than me doesn't give me an excuse to be a jerk.

Nah you weren't being a jerk, I felt pretty much the same way, I'm sure a few people did

So people agreeing with me makes me.. not a jerk? What? It was misconduct. That's it. Not saying anything more.

* Don't reply to spammers
* Don't flame
* Don't piss me off

Those three things should save you.
