Spam forum idea

Would it be possible for TLR to have some sort of spam forum where anyone chould spam as they liked but it wouldn't count towards their rank? It would give Nickless somewhere to stay all day No rules like advertising and stuff to hold you down. Of course there would be some rules to have some protection for people. (well, we can't have rapists and stuff looking for targets over TLR or people making their own porn service)
It may be a stupid idea but could it be done?

No way in hell! It won't happen. Firstly, as already mentioned, it is against the rules, and Bargib would probably have to write a new piece of code for specifically for such a forum, or have the Mods regularly delete any and all posts. Furthermore, by having such a forum, TLR would be advocating spam, which is something that the site has always been opposed to. Finally, who would moderate such a forum? I doubt that the Mods would waste their time on it, and the spamming would probably lead to fights and arguments that would leak into the other TLR forums.

@BlazeME

Perhaps some kind of Random Babbling Post such as this?

N.B. This topic is deleted occasionally so here is the root forum...

For politics there is the Alley of Dangerous Angles as well.

Just a thought...

Ok, maybe it was sorta a crazy idea.

Not to put anybody down - but I dislike this idea, especially since it will "splash" over in the other forums, and it is hell to code a forum that is disconnected from the rest - to some extend...

If they had a "Pool" to spam in, eventuelly, they would try it in the other forums too. Like when you go to the community pool, but your mom is laying on a towel, you jump in and out of the water, you will eventuaklly get her wet, and mad. Well it sounded good when I was thinking about it.

Nice try Final . That's basically it. I can go into more specific detail if you like Wolfy.

Post Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:13 pm

yes please do

picture this...the "spamming" forum is being actively used. You get a 'mindset" doing so much posting there and getting away with it. So you naturally think...well I can spam over in this forum and that forum and others see that and join you.

"Spamfest" over every forum as others try to make their own mark for spamming in a forums where it's forbidden. Moderators go nuts and demand raises from Gibby and the site goes *poof*
