Does this qualify as spamming?

15 threads created from 2:00 to 6:15 by the same "person". All cut-n-paste and most with no commentary by the OP.

It's definitely not kosher.

 

I hadn't bothered to do the math, but certainly was noticing the mass production of threads.

 

I think they are all interesting. It doesn't bother me if one person can come up with several interesting threads.

 

Does not qualify as spamming.

A few don't meet minimum thread requirements, since they have no commentary from the OP, but overall, nothing wrong with it.

 

Looks like someone is going on a crusade... if you know what I mean.

 

There should be a limit of 2-3 threads a day. Any more than that is just bogging down the servers.

 

And would get people to actually check if a thread on the topic had already been made.

It won't happen, though. It's been suggested numerous times, and the Mods said no.

Shame, though.

 

Or a limit period, even if not just 2-3 threads. Because there's no reason anyone needs to be creating 30 threads a day - it does nothing but bog down the servers.

 

I have been a moderator on a couple of other web forums for years.

My experience has led me to a few conclusions regarding spam.

Whenever a new member registers,
somehow makes it past the filters,
possesses a forum name like, "woodhzpp", "pyncplody", or "stilakisp",
has a registration email address like, "qcpdu@bocav.com", "roarehawamari@gmail.com", or "a.i.fjl.a.i.jfie398@gmail.com",
and upon entry into the boards, immediately begins posting threads advertising erectile dysfunction medications, discount shoes, easy loans, and low-rent porn,
that is spam.


Whenever an established member posts a great number of partisan-political threads,
in a very short period of time,
and all of those threads either celebrate one political party and its members,
or denigrate the hated 'other' political party and its members,
that is business as usual on the modern internet.

Sad, predictable, and in the end, bad form,
but still, it is business as usual.

 

Can't imagine what the gripe is about. Surely even the intellectually challenged lefties prefer new topics to 500 post threads about Chick-Fil-A or Trayvon Martin?

If you don't like new topics springing up... don't open 'em. If you think they're getting a partisan edge... post your own Obama-loving threads.

Whatever you do, please quit asking for rule changes to satisfy your lil whims. You're not the only ones reading the site and most people prefer a little variety.

 

hahahahaha...busy little critter ain't he?

 

Today's round, I'll post the OP's commentary below the link:

http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...194-simple-reason-why-democcrats-racists.html

" Black people and all other minorities are PEOPLE, and they have the same concerns as everyone else: Jobs, the future of their children, etc.

Democrats try to divide America by dividing us into color groups that need government help.

Republicans do not do that. We treat all with diginity by recognizing they are no differentt than anyone else, and that they are capable of being successful without special help.

Thus, the Democrat looks down on the abilities of minorities, and Repulican sees that they are as capable as anyyone else.

So who is the real racist? The Democrat."

A complete joke. Where are the mods? I guess since they didn't put "white male" and a crime in the title those threads won't get deleted. At least we are getting a clearer picture of how things work around here.

By the way I think you missed a couple...

http://www.politicalforum.com/political-opinions-beliefs/260219-religious-freedom-jeopardy-under-obama.html

No commentary.

http://www.politicalforum.com/political-opinions-beliefs/260218-obama-favors-culture-dependency.html

Again no commentary.

Sure wish the mods would explain why some people are given free reign and other threads that meet the thread creation requirements are routinely deleted.

 

Fringe-right thought in action -- win by gathering a mob to out-shout the other side.

More rational people would prefer a different policy. Sure, I could post 50 liberal threads a day that didn't meet the definition of spamming, but that would be a sleazy thing to do, so I wouldn't do it. It's that absolute morality thing that we liberals are known for.

Board policy encourages spamming-lite, so we get spamming-lite. It encourages racists to gather here, so we get the Stormfront crowd. It encourages group-trolling ("You liberals/conservatives are all child molesters!"), so we get that, endlessly, especially since it's kind of forbidden to call out the offenders by name. Policy encourages drowning out intelligent conversation with massive piles of crap, so that's what we get.

 

And the next batch. No commentary by the poster in any of the OPs:

I swear I don't mean this as snarky....but the situation described is an almost exact mirror image of how things were here 4 years ago.
The election cycle was reaching a fevered pitch and while yes, there was a dedicated (and annoying, imho) few who kept posting "Electing Obama will lead to riots! Flag burning and then the US citizens will have to become Muslim!!!" *shiver, shiver, fear induced* types threads....

there were a whole lot of very busy Obama supporters who would post almost verbatim just about anything that was said by Rush, (and twist what he said) posted on Huffington, said by Keith Olberam or Chris Matthews.....w/little or no original commentary added.

No, I'm not saying, b/c "they did it (and it was wrong) it's fine for it to happen now"

What I'm saying is this:

Both sides do it, both sides are 'guilty', 4 years ago, it was way, way more common for Cons to be screaming about this being a left-leaning site.

Nature of the beast.

Now to handle something different:

I can find ED drugs here?! Whoa-cool!

 

Why are you so obsessed with him? Because someone called you out in another thread for posting dozens of Huffpo articles without any commentary?

 

In the site I admin, thie type of posting might be considered auto-posting. Using a program that collects posts from other sites then posting them elsewhere.
Where I am at, auto-posting is an auto-ban.
But this may not be the case here...

 

Which post was that? It would be a little hard for me to post Huffpo articles since I rarely visit that site so I'd LOVE to see all these "Huffpo" threads that I posted w/o commentary.

Especially since I take great efforts to comment when I start a thread with the obvious exception being threads in the Humor & Satire.

Wow... what amazing powers of deduction you have...lol.

So, Mr. Holmes, what exactly led you to the conclusion that the thread was about me?

Just curious because I'm in awe of your ability to put two and two together and get 6.

You sir, are a superhero amongst common men!

 

You should check your facts again...

(7) Thread Creation:

THE OPENING POST OF A THREAD SETS THE TOPIC AND TONE OF THE DISCUSSION.

It should contain a member's opinions or questions with sufficient elaboration to establish a foundation for respectful discussion and debate. Threads should not be posted in the wrong forum, or be duplicates of other threads and/or topics (creating multiple threads with fundamentally the same topic is not allowed). Images, links, quotations, etc., should be used to support a member's opinion, not to replace it. Thread titles should be a description of the thread topic (and if not they may be altered by the moderators). Whether a thread has sufficiently set a basis for respectful debate on the thread topic will be at the discretion of the moderators.

I'm sorry, which part of what I said do you believe you contradicted?
