Please do not reply to spam/stupid topics. Do not feed the trolls. Also do not start threads about spam and the people who spam. If you see a thread that violates the forum rules please alert one of the moderators:

stosh, shishka, yoozel.

Thanks. Spam is not tolerated and users who spam will be banned.

Subject: SPAM

-S

Do's:

1. IGNORE THE SPAMMER
2. Message SketchFactor, Achronos, Frankie, or one of the mods. Be sure to include a link to the problem post!
3. Wait patiently for the mods to come and clean up the mess.

Don'ts:

1. Reply to the spam in any way shape or form.
2. Start new posts or polls that have anything to do with the spammer.
3. Message the admins and moderators more than once. Keep in mind: You're not the only one to notice the spammer!

You'll note I put "Ignore the spammer" in bold. This is because of what a spammer is. A spammer's entire sense of purpose lies in angering the forum members and moderators. So, by replying to them with demands, empty threats, or even polite requests, you're confirming that the Spammer's goals are being achieved, and encouraging the spammer to continue. The same goes for starting a new post, such as "Do you hate this guy?" "This guy should be banned," or "Petition to get this guy to stfu." Not only are you telling the spammer "Hey, you're doing a good job, keep it up!" you're also contributing to the spam by posting more off topic threads to the forums.

Keep all this in mind the next (inevitable) time some immature brat comes across the forums. And for those of you that did attempt to alert the mods, thanks. =)

I created a database called "Report" over at HFCS. Use this database to report any spam/nasty topics to all the mods at once. You may continue to pm us if you wish. This database is just another way for you to contact us.
