Can something be done about the spamming of the BB6 forum, please? I appreciate that it's not viable to lock old threads routinely. However, when people insist on dredging-up ancient threads, there's no reason for it other than to deliberately irritate the members that still want to post there. It makes it difficult to see what current topics are being discussed, and can only serve to deter members from browsing that forum at all. This has been pointed out to the member concerned on numerous occasions, both via U2U's and on the forum itself. It just goes on and on, spoiling things for the rest of the membership. Yet nothing has been done to stop it. Why?

Signed. I can't believe this hasn't already been taken care of.

lilmissnaughty · 04-09-2005, 05:35 PM

Does that mean you've signed, then?

GlitterEyes · 04-09-2005, 05:46 PM

Sure is confusing! Especially when they post one word which is normally "lol" which isnt needed at all...people seem to only do it to boost up there post numbers anyway

Fangz · 04-09-2005, 05:49 PM

If you need to boost your post numbers, go on countdown, or any of the other billion game-threads. This is done purely to annoy, IMO.

Yeah it does!

I've signed too. It's really annoying when old threads keep being resurrected.

Corkie · 04-09-2005, 05:55 PM

signed

Corkie · 04-09-2005, 05:59 PM

we should make all the links of what people have done (this is mostly orligh rules)

BigSister · 04-09-2005, 06:01 PM

i agree with what people have said over this, it is annoying

Mark · 04-09-2005, 06:22 PM

Thanks for bringing this up,

I think the best option is to create a sub forum in the BB6 forum called 'Archived posts'. Then whenever a thread in the BB6 forum hasn't been replied to in X days, to have it automatically moved into the archived area.

I'll have a word with James, and see if we can work something out,

Wouldn't it just be a lot easier to take action against those responsible?

CharlotteSometimes · 04-09-2005, 06:34 PM

Apparently not.

Get well soon, Red Moon!

I second that. This forum needs him!
(Plus he needs to get well anyway, cos he's a nice guy.

)

Corkie · 04-09-2005, 07:13 PM

oh yeah he hasnt been on for a while has he

Dan_ · 04-09-2005, 07:23 PM

Signed, the person need's warning's or if that does not work banning. It's annoying rubbish.

GlitterEyes · 04-09-2005, 10:32 PM

I think banning would make it more of an "issue" than it is plus then whats to stop several names being used again and again. The archive idea sounds good to me

CharlotteSometimes · 04-09-2005, 11:16 PM

Is the thread entitled 'let's demand that people we don't like very much are banned'? I think not. The point is that this has been going on for weeks, and those that are able to stop it ... haven't.

Fangz · 04-09-2005, 11:52 PM

Something does need to be done about it. It's made the main section of this forum useless, and discouraged people from posting in it.
There were several good threads going until they were swallowed up by a load of old ones.
And to be perfectly honest, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if Orlaith_Rules was banned. I can't actually remember him/her/it contributing anything useful (or coherent) to this forum.
