Ba moved a thread from Boardania to the Dungeon Dimensions. The poster calls itself Thunderzeee. It might be a good idea to terminate this waste of bits from the boards.

I got rid of that all together. I think that kind of spam needs to be deleted instead of moved. As its main purpose is to get a free link it doesn't matter to them if we move it to another forum... or I suppose I could have just removed the link, what do you think?

In general, removing the link and citing why would be best. In the case of posts/posters that are only here for spam though, delete away. We hardly need a history reference of one-post topics that just have links in them. What on earth are we supposed to do with them, if the poster isn't going to post again anyway?

Ben, it was clearly a spambot post, nothing more, nothing less, which is why I reported it... Spambots are a menace, first time I've seen one manage to post here though, did anything change when the board upgraded that would favour that Mal ?

Another spammer. The thread was deleted.

Opinions on this post?
On the one hand, clearly spam, but, on the other, relevant and probably of interest. The Garner who cares. |

I think it's spam, especially as they haven't posted anything else and it sounds like an advertising spiel. I don't mind someone saying, "The DVD's coming out on <date>, I can't wait to see it as I've heard it's x, y and z!", but that post was obviously just marketing blurb.
I can't remember if someone has posted the release date before - but maybe we could do that afterwards, or delete the extraneous parts of that post, leaving a explanatory warning for the poster? Ella: Is it a giraffe? Me (stops drawing): No Ella: Star Trek? Me: Yes! |
