I got banned from BBS for disencouraging spam...?

Posted by OMGx - August 22nd, 2009


I would link you to the thread but it got deleted.

How can telling someone not to post spam threads constitute encouraging spam? Nice one, Newgrounds. Oh and also, thanks to DeadClever23 who I can only assume that their younger sibling (?) was logged in and decided to be an idiot or they just had a fit of idiocy themselves.

Somehow I think the ban system needs some thinking about and not just being a faceless totalitarian blanet.

If the thread were still in existence, I could probably shed some light on the situation. Seeing as you only have 100 posts, you really don't have much of a say in this and best trust the experienced moderators.

This is true.

People post spam for the sole purpose of getting a reaction out of you, regardless of what that reaction is. The act of replying encourages the behavior. Also, saying "don't post spam" could be considered backseat modding, also against the BBS rules.

This is also true.
