Spamming something new won't stop dragons, it'll make it all worse. | |||||||

Ok, I give up. I’m not going to post dragons anymore. It’s not worth the hell I get from people over it. That being said: I posted them because people got bumhurt over them. Spamming new crap like bottles, books, or porn isn’t going to stop it, it’s just going to make people spam dragons more. The only reason this ****es me off is I go on FWZ at work, something I can no longer do if people spam porn. So I’m up for one of two things.
1. Ban ALL spam, ALL of it.
2. Just ignore dragons, they’re NOT that big a deal.
Use adblock if need be, but just shut up. Whinning about something isn’t going to get people to stop, this is FWZ you should know this by now. Just ignore people and eventually it will go away. |

So, wait… When you spam something that ****es people off you sit back and laugh, but when someone else spams something that ****es you off you get all serious and tell them to stop? If you’re going to troll have some conviction, or don’t do it at all. |

Read the OP. I’m not going to spam anymore. I used to do it because people got bumhurt. Now I’m advocating change as I won’t be able to go on fwz if it’s blanketed in spam.
That catch you up?
Also dragons isn’t really trolling, it’s just people are too stupid to use adblock, or just ignore dragon spammers. |

DesdiPhoenix Posted: Hahahaha, gotcha!
Sure they are, especially when losers spam funny threads with that dragon garbage.
I use Adblock, but still… I doubt that this dragon stupidity will go away.
P.S. You should Adblock my porn ;-) |

Then you’re not being affected by dragon spam. Seriously, most of the people that are raging about this, don’t even SEE it. They’re causing more bumhurt than people that actually have to scroll past it. |

Exactly. Whenever I see a blank post I’m like: “Damn, another dragon poster… ” Also, it’s not about bumhurt, it’s about funny threads and good posters. I’m not mad if you ruin unfunny threads with dragons. |

Umm, that is exactly what I said. The. same. exact. thing. You spam dragons because people don’t like it. People start spamming things you don’t like(because you couldn’t come here during work anymore with porn spam). You start whistling a new tune right after to stop it.
DesdiPhoenix Posted:
How is doing something specifically to annoy people not trolling? You just said it yourself…
DesdiPhoenix Posted:
Whatever it is you’re doing, if it’s only to annoy people, it’s trolling. |

The porn spam does make surfing this site at work a very risky proposition. Draginz weren’t so bad, really, as it was mostly just a harmless little rickroll kinda thing. But the porn, now that could get someone fired.
You could stick to GD or the srsly forums. They don’t have porn spam. |

Well, all RP forums are NSFW by default, if you’re worried about getting in trouble you shouldn’t go there during work at all. |

This is getting ridiculous… Here’s a simple solution: stop posting on Flamebate from your workplace and do something productive… Like WORKING! |

I have a job where 80% of the time, I have nothing to do. I’m IT support for a small company, and when there aren’t problems to fix, I have nothing to do. I’m not only posting this for me, I’m talking about people in general posting new spam. It’s not going make anything better. You can never win fighting fire with fire. |

This.
That’s why there are rules against nudity in non-RP, avatars, etc. |

There’s a difference between that and spamming it in threads. |

Yes, it makes something you should have expected and planned for and makes it more visible when you go there when you aren’t supposed to, other than that it’s no different from any SFW spam. I haven’t seen anyone spamming porn in non-RP, only in places where porn is allowed in the first place. |

Ok, fine. Drop the work thing. That STILL has nothing to do with the fact that people are trying to “teach” dragon spammers a lesson by spamming other ****. It doesn’t make any sense, because it’s just shows the dragon spammers that they’re getting to people, thus making them spam more. |

People were spamming porn long before dragons. Then they got bored doing it and it stopped. Now it’s started up again. At some point it will drop again.
There were plenty of other things spammed too, at various points in time. As the community changes, the things people spam changes. Don’t bumume it’s due to dragons. |

it’s like war:
people are fighting with dragons, and so then people start fighting back with other crap..
its the same cycle over, and over, and over again.
if you really want it to stop, it’s your problem. fight it yourself in how you want to fight it, but posting other crap will just make the dragon spammers spam more draginz… Jarwain edited this message on 02/11/2009 11:42AM |
