    It's been asked a lot in the past already and nothing has been done.

    1. Posting for double bandwidth
    2. Post "hashtag we're the best" for no reason
    3. Post your order number

    None of these contribute to a forum at all, like @MannDude said, it only looks good for stats. If you would take a look at certain users profiles, you can easily see their posts are just identical content for thousands of posts.

    When DM can be used to order numbers, I wish option to delete DM messages once in a while or LET itself has feature to remove old DMs which are older than certain period. We share certain personal contacts for service transfer or other things over DM.

    I 110% support ending such threads and returning LET to a proper community and not just a marketplace forum with a few interesting, non-sales threads sprinkled in here and there.

    Sales threads should sink after X time no matter what in my opinion. :)

  • Arkas said: Make enough noise, and it will be heard.

    or thread will be set to sink and forgotten, like last time, and time before and before.

    From now on all the above will be dealt with. It's not about dealing, it's about enforcing.

  • I am actually curious about how much less comments the site will get say one month after this is enforced. Can I ping you in a month to ask @Arkas please ?

    This stops now. @MannDude, you are on notice.

    For what? I created a thread about a famous internet person who got freed from prison. What the hell did I do? It's actually big news and relevant.

    But okay. Notice received.

    Looks like Selective targeting to me. Someone saw "Trump" in a post and got bent all out of shape so decided to make an example.

    Free speech no longer it seems

    When this rule will be applied to @dustinc who has been doing it for years now?

    Why does it become an issue when other providers do it, but not when the biggest paypiggie does it? (rhetoric question)

  • To be honest, warning has been served but without a clear boundary of what is accepted and what is not accepted.

    What is "me too" type of posts btw? can anyone give an example?

    So how will I get double the core/ram/bandwith for LET special threads?

  • jsgjsg Member, Resident Benchmarker

    FWIW: In my opinion the vast majority of "spam" comments (no relevant content and useless to most users) are exactly two types

    • "comment your order number", "comment 'hottest deal evar'", and the likes
    • derailing whole threads which do have a relevant for LET topic with "funny" posts (e.g. "reguards", "$7", etc.) or other irrelevant nonsense. Exception: occasional fun/satirical threads as well as an occasional "nonsense" comment, and the cest pit I guess.

    Strongly limiting only those two types of posts would clean out the vast majority of spam/trash/no-content.

    Btw, being at that, I want to apologize to @Francisco because my "IMMEDIATE RELEASE" thread may have been misunderstood as directed against Francisco, when actually it was targeting the big purple spammer. Even worse, my thread may have directed some attention away from Francisco's thread but sometimes being an idiot I noticed that only later, too late.

    So, sorry, Francisco, I apologize for that and can assure you that I like you and certainly wouldn't disturb or distract from a thread of yours willingly and/or knowingly.

    @yoursunny said: Can you spell out clearly: is "comment order number" allowed?

    Yes or no.

    Yes

    So spamming is now selective, nice.

    Please, stop throwing illegal IPs at us! 159 is less that 255 and hence an invalid byte. Don't think we don't notice and fall for your trick!

    Boss,

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE is a very old LET meme from the greenvaluehost days. It was me having some fun with it, that's all.

    I took absolutely no hate on it and I think the rat thing is hilarious and fucked at the same time.

    Hope alls well on your side :)

    Well, you are kind of forcing my hand here.
    See, people with 'severe' warnings, allegedly, should not IMO, ask for double anything.

  • will titles that were achieved through spamming and threads also be revoked? veteran used to be a / the title par excellence!

    It depends though.

    Is that an opinion from a moderator or as member?
