I have seen this a lot. This would be on a spammer's profile:

"Why are you spamming?"
"Dude, don't spam!"
"STOP SPAMMING!"

Please, don't spam the spammers, just tell a moderator!

Telling spammers to "stop" is just going to get them to do it more. We just need to ignore them, and if it gets to be too much, then tell a mod or an admin.

Well, then they would just keep on spamming more and more.

LIKE I SAID, telling spammers to stop doesn't help, and telling a mod about it just wastes your and the mod's time. It isn't worthwhile to go around looking for spammers to tattle on.

if another person does it THEN it would be true spam on a spammers profile...


That is what I am saying with this whole thread.

I love reading hypocritical thread like this... you are all reiterating each other, and while it doesn't *look* like spam, it really kind of is. Plus, there's a post above that talks about what to do with spam, so this whole thread is a bit unnecessary.

In summation: Read stickies. If you see a spammer, let a moderator know. You can tell the spammer, too, as long as you are not spamming them, and are the first one to tell them.
