I think FriendsterTalk Forum is one of the forums that I have joined with just a short and brief explanation/enumeration of Forum Rules. Therefore easy to understand, if I may say. Before anyone registers in this forum, it is expected that you have read the Rules of the forum. That is why, sometimes without any warning, stup*d members will automatically :norose: ... lol By the way, below the Forum Rules. You can read this line: [i]Registering to become a member is your explicit acknowledgement that you agree and will abide by these rules.[/i] PS: Always remember [i]"There is no government like no government."[/i] [spoiler]If you hate RULES then go home and box you father.. [/spoiler]

[quote=Black Rose Dying]I notice that when someone made a tutorial, there are tons of people who post something "great, thanks, nice code " or other similar to that. Its rather annoying and obviously its just spamming. I hope they would be given a warn or their post would be deleted, as it just makes those tutorial topics so long (with lots of pages). Its so hard to find important informations. Like questions asked by members, and specially, the corresponding answers. I suggest people would only post if what they would say is REALLY important, like suggestions and questions. Now I know some of you would say, "but what if we are really grateful that he made the code I've been looking for a long time?! what if we really wanna thank him?!" If you are really thankful to the person that made the code, its better to message him. He would more appreciate it. Than just posting the same "thanks nice codes blah blah blah" that almost everyone does.[/quote] I completely catch your drift. I kinda dislike those users who keep posting, one lined comments said on the rule here... http://theftalk.com/t3652-Rules-Tricks-Tutorials-Revised.-%22Spammers%22.html The bad thing is we can not manipulate members, due to we humans have our own rights and messing around with members is a bad thing, as much as possible we try our best not to put members in a leech. Anyway in your personal opinion, how can we properly deal with those one lined comments to the author or the idea of the author? I, myself, already tried many ideas and alternatives to prevent the concept but, of course it always ends up me deleting the post of the users. I may try the idea, deleting all one lined repeat post and comments but, I think it isn't a proper idea due to, I will look rude to some users. They give thanks and I'll delete it. Kinda rude right? [b]On your opinion[/b] what is the proper solution to this? As the one making a feed back you should have at least one idea right? The PM Idea you gave is superb idea though but, on your opinion again. How do we redirect the user to PM the author for his/her gratitude rather than posting. We already have a rule. http://theftalk.com/t3652-Rules-Tricks-Tutorials-Revised.-%22Spammers%22.html Only few comply, so what's the best solution? Member manipulation? Strictness? or some other alternative.

^ ^ agree with ephe too.

ephemeral - have you, mods, added new stuffs in the rules? I mean, I saw some rules I haven't seen before, eg.: [quote]Everyday we can see members' name in every new posts in this forum section. And if we check their every new posts, they're all the same such as 'Thanks!', 'Nice codes, thanks!', 'Thanks for sharing!', etc. Come on? These guys can also be called as spammers. We all know that they are only trying to increase their total post counts. They're not really giving compliments on the code contributors. They're being rude.[/quote] If so, then thats a good job. If it was there before, then I'm afraid I failed to see it. But I'm quite sure something has changed in the rules.

Ah, its good. Atleast, now mods have the right to really warn people who post something short like those. Because before, we don't have those rules here, making those spammers have their reasons that their not breaking a rule. But now they really are. Hmm... How about make an announcement that there are new added rules, that might help so more people would notice it. If there already is, disregard this suggestion. Yes I do understand that, we have different timezones, and yes people would not stop that easy, hmm... as a suggestion, I think mods must be really strict on implementing these rules so people would take those rules seriously. So even if mods are not online, some spammers who had receive a warning would be afraid to spam again, leaving these forums: less spammed. aight.
