We all often see spam threads, and always post what everyone else already has 'This is a duplicate/spam thread' etc. You need to NOT do that, and let the mods do their jobs... Now I'm aware this thread is pointless, and I want to see no complaints. Strop is online, he can take care of it.

So Stop posting whats already been posted a million times!

Mods aren't always online at all times. Someone needs to acknowledge thread misplacement...

I understand that you're trying to stop duplicate threads, but sometimes when people go to an old thread a few pages back and want to talk about some people say that their "reviving a dead thread" and that they should stop posting in it, causing them to make a new thread.

I guess this doesn't happen on ArmorGames, but it happens an another forum I know.

Yes, but ONLY ONCE.

If someone points something out, don't just agree with them. If you have more to add, make sure it helps the discussion. We all spam, and it needs to stop.

Will do mate, I dislike it when that's all people post. Just report it to a moderator, don't just state that it's a duplicate thread.

Sorry about that. Also, I was replying to eddie, as you ninja'd me...

If you guys can resist posting a complaint until a mod locks this, you know that you aren't spamming.

Its fine to state it, AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO. Otherwise, it's spam...

I agree fully with you on that mate, and there's always at least 5-10 fellows posting "Hey, this has already been made before, don't post on it". But make sure you're the first before you say that it's been made already.

Person 2: This is soooo spammy

And since Pazx asked me to wrap this up, I now declare "enough said!"

Though if you don't see any mods online in the "active in the last 5 minutes" section then I don't see a problem with one post saying "this is inappropriate" or something.
