I have not been here all that long but have seen peole get very upset with their thread beeing locked & Ive seen a lot of oneliners (as another thread wrote abought myself)
Instead of making someone feel scared to post or shy of posting why not make a new place for it. a place where all of these post can go . However I do understand abought bandwith and can see that some need to be locked or deleted.
but for others it really gets feathers flapping when their post gets deleted or locked.

my vote for a spam type forum where anything can be posted. That would clear up the general section. Or even a "gas chamber" or something like that where people can see the worst of the worst.

I delete posts where appropriate, and move incriminating posts to the "evidence" forum.
There's no need for a spam forum. If you want to spam, you can damn well do it somewhere else.
And who have you seen getting upset with their thread being locked? For the last week, I've locked one, maybe two threads. And I never recieved any complaints about either of those.

thanks :roll:
EDIT: also under the one line guidelines, you shouldn't have really posted another post to let me know you deleted it. so the last two posts in the topic (yours quoted, and this one) should be deleted.

No, if the post contains useful information it is not deleted. My post informed you of something useful, so no deletion.

So if a post contains something useful it is not deleted? Who's to say that my post saying that
qbasic.tk welcomed spam wasn't useful to those that wanted to post it. It was on topic, and it did provide usefulness for those looking for somewhere to put it. :wink:

IMO you just spammed yourself by double posting.

sorry but tbbq is right here. it does seem unfair that you can be so strict on rules for some, then go about them however you want.
