Basically, I'm posting this because every day. I see people breaking rules w/ regard to spamming, too many in top 50, and early bumping and they do not get warned and threads do not get locked. I would like to see the rules enforced more aggressively, because it really ruins the site for people who do follow the rules. The only time I ever see these rules getting enforced is when a med is pmed w/ regard to the violation. Its basically the same handful of people that break these rules all the time, maybe if they saw they had something to lose by doing so, they would stop.

I'll also add w/ regard to spamming that people on this site spam because they want to have discussions amongst their peers in their own trading community. so maybe a way to do so w/out making 50 spam threads a day would be a good way to solve the spam problem. a spam sticky for instance, or possibly, some kind of scrolling chat window for each trade forum. (i know these things don't grow on e-trees. I'm just trying to throw out ideas to get people thinking about it.)

also/more importantly: turn off flood protection for people who have accounts older than one year (for example. maybe more or less) w/ 0 warn. i feel wronged that i have to suffer the inconvenience of flood protection because of spamming 12 year olds. i use this site to trade and flood protect hinders my ability to do so.

thanks for reading.

It's only 30 seconds between posts... It can't be that big of a problem if you don't spam. and there already is a spam forum, its called general chat. Handing out warns for every little thing would have half the site suspended every day. I do agree spam is a BIG problem... and i do think warns should be handed out to constant spammers.

on a day where i make 50 - 100 trades having to wait an extra 30 seconds to send a pm or make a post can be a hassle. 30 seconds can be the difference between making a trade and someone being afk. the whole point is that it's in place to stop people from spamming. but it also stops people w/ no intention of spamming from getting their trading done.

to clarify: I'm not saying that people who make one spam post on a thread should get warned for it. I'm saying people who make several spam threads a day should get a warned verbally to not do so. and should be given 10 % every time thereafter that they violate the rule. and again its a handful of people that cause the problem. if more aggressive action were taken against it. it would stop.

Good point. I don't think the limit should be taken away completely though. But maybe set to 15 seconds for member w/o warns. But i dought it will happen.

there's plenty of websites in this world that have no flood control at all. they just ban spammers immediately. works awesome.

Totally 100% agree

Make a poll imo, see what % of the d2jsp population actually want to see the rules be enforced

I remember back in 2006 and 2007 when those with the power actually used it, like warning people for spam.

I got warned in a spam topic for posting once in it, back in Jan 07.

Just warn everyone, setting rules is useless if you don't enforce them.

Get your act together or get some mods with some stones who actually do things.

Briliant suggestion, if only we had a warning system and moderators that do that.

agree.
