The problem is, we are not taking the many opportunities to educate the flamers and spammers. I am almost positive that half of these "stupid" people are new members who havent learned the proper eitquette or rules, and never will because we simply decide to scoff at them. For instance, last night a member came onto my thread and filled a whole page with spam. I informed him that his actions could result in him getting banned, but that I wasn't mad at him. He apologized, editted all his posts, and promised to read the code of conduct more closely. Thats all the people need: a helpful reminder. I know this because, I too was once a spammer, and if it was not for the help of an older member, I would probably still be up to my old tricks. Give them a chance, and The Flood will be saved.
