Eggspam

DragonFireOKN · Jul 20, 2008 5:03 PM

I have noticed that members that are new to dragcave have begun to post topics about their eggs and asking members to click them.

If you are one of these people, we already have a place for you to allow members to click your eggs.

It is rather annoying when I come on and see two topics refering to one person's eggs.

If this isn't already in the rules, could someone add it in the next update?

I did clarify that when I was a Mod. I also said it is legal to do it in SPAM.

On the plus side, I see a guest coming to post every now and then on the Dragon Eggs thread. It looks like a bonus to attract guests.

Keep all eggs in the dragon eggs thread.

Yes I agree.

yah, i've seen people on every post they post they put "please click my eggs", not on!

This is because the signature space is insufficient.

[sub]What, you want signatures big enough for ten eggs?

I haven't seen any of these threads yet, except for in spam. Examples?

Adding it to the rules wouldn't be such a bad idea, though, even if it's not a huge problem, and even if it is just a temporary fad. If Spyrorocks doesn't mind, I've been wanting to write a new set of rules; I don't really like the current one I wrote so long ago. .__.

For now, just report the threads as they come up.[/sub]

I think we should also move the dragon egg thread to spam. People are getting their post counts up by saying "Click my eggs" over and over again.

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 3:27 PM

[sub]Exactly. I already suggested that on the thread. =/

You do realize that you're increasing your own gem count by putting the eggs on every post, don't you? =P[/sub]

If you'd like to take the time to write new rules, id appreciate it.

DragonFireOKN · Jul 21, 2008 4:27 PM

Stormy, there have been several incidents where people make a new thread asking members to post their eggs. I've seen around 4 or 5.

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 4:38 PM

[sub]@DFOKN: I believe you; I just hadn't seen them myself. smile

@Spyrorocks: I'm emailing you my version of the revised set of rules. Let me know if there's anything you want me to add/remove/edit.[/sub]

Spyrorocks · Jul 21, 2008 5:08 PM

Rules updated: http://www.spyroforum.com/rules.php

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 6:39 PM

[sub]Great. big_smile Now if only people would notice them. [/sub]

A Guy · Jul 21, 2008 7:02 PM

I don't see the rule against creating all these unnecessary topics about eggs...

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 7:04 PM

[sub]There isn't one. It's under "Don't Spam," which I think just about covers it. It's too trivial to need its own rule.

I swear I had something about it in there, but Spyrorocks probably took it out; he edited it a little.[/sub]

A Guy · Jul 21, 2008 7:17 PM

The rules say nothing about multiple threads on the same topic.

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 7:18 PM

[sub]I didn't think of that. It should be fairly obvious, though. [/sub]

I don't care about gems. You want all mine? I'll give them to you. I just want the eggs that don't fit in my signature to get views too. roll

Stormy · Jul 21, 2008 10:19 PM

[sub]Whatever. Arguing over the internet ftw?

Anyway, I should have added something in the rules about not replying to spam threads. I'm mad at myself for not doing that now. >__>[/sub]

Yes but mods a have right to remove topics they deem unneccesary, which includes multiple threads on the same topic.

Hail The Ice Dragon · Jul 27, 2008 1:13 AM

We should keep all of the dragon egg chat in the dragon cave thread. Oh they have a new look too! 8D A guy your post on the first page. EGGSPAM! Spam and spam is against the rules what do you want the spamming to persist or no?

Totally agreed! :-|

Hail, please quit digging up old threads. This has pretty much been discussed and dealt with.

Hail The Ice Dragon · Jul 27, 2008 1:17 AM

Well its still been going on and come on its not that old. >_< Why do you keep following me and getting so freaking mad at me? Quit following me on the forums. Would you please? I still have the right to post a message! <_<
