once banned...

It all depends on the thread. If a poster flames/spams/trolls in a good thread with many replies, we definitely would not close that good thread because of that 1 flame post.
 
well like my hair color thread poll. it was my friend who spammed it up, and others that reacted to it. I belive I went through the motions with him, here they are:

well then delete the posts
>that'd take too much work
well then let me delete the posts
>only mods can delete posts
well then let posters delete thier own posts
>that'd mean destructive ones could delete entire threads
well then make me a mod
>you arent trustworthy enough to be a mod
then why dout YOU delete them
>as I said, too much work
its your job!
>no it isent
so your telling me that because you dont want to put in the extra work into it, that threads must be closed because of spam that has grown in them, and since you cant re-start locked thread, spamming a thread will thereby end the discussion on it, ALL just because no mod wants to put the work into it?
>yes
then why not hire mods that WILL put the work into it
>cause there are none
I am one
>we cant trust you enough


than thats where it ended...
 
Who is that conversation with?????

And whoever it was was right, no mod wants to go through and delete tons of posts unless they are extremely offensive.

Have you been warming up your car with the garage door closed again?

I thought we agreed that was a BAD idea?
 
You can't even keep your own lies straight Pellaken...why do you insist on complaining about things that no one in their right mind would? Open a new freakin thread and stop the complaining!
 
"according to the rules, I cannot re-open a closed thread, PH."

Did he say you had to re-open the same thread??

Oh yeah, if the thread is closed for that reason pm a mod and ask for permission to start another one. It's not that hard. ;)

That is if the thread was closed because of the topic. I believe this thread was closed because of the spam. If in doubt, contact one of the forum mods for OT like gonzo said.
 
Then don't reopen it! Case closed. Great, let's get on with something else now.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
this is more of what I mean. is it or is it not against the rules to re-open a thread that was closed because of spam. I havent heard a straight or clear answer. you say dont open it, but I want to open it. all I want is a striaght answer, and all I'm getting are fuzzy ones.
 
Here is the answer: Ask the mod that closed it!I said this 4 posts ago. That is not fuzzy. The mod will then tell you yes or get lost you whinner.
 
I normally close threads based on topics getting to heated, or general spam, or unacceptable content.

If you feel the closed topic is valid, you can PM me and I will allow another if I agree with you.
 
umm right this is probably really obvious and everyone will know it but what is spam? cos u lot keep talkin about it and that its bad so i dont really want to do it but i cant be sure im doing it if i dont know what it is
 
Spam is a computer term for messages that lack real content.
