here's one way to "improve the community"...
Don't suspend/ban members for creating spam topics... it just gives them more of a reason to spam and bitch about createblog. For example, when they get unsuspended... they'll just come back and continue to spam . Also, there is a createblog chat room that these 'banned/suspended spammers' go into daily and talk about how much createblog sucks. Now, let's say a newbie comes into that chatroom... Word spreads... and createblog's reputation then goes from great source for blogging needs to... uptight community. --P.S. I'm completely serious about this topic. By the way, one swift kick towards the crotch will surely stop them. |

They're IP-banned.
 They can't come back.And besides, they're breaking the rules. So we can suspend them. Now, what do you suggest we do instead of suspending them? |

that's like saying that putting people in jail is pointless because when they get out of jail they'll just go and break the law again.
what are you gunna do? keep on warning and warning them until they eventually stop? (if ever?) suspending is the best and perhaps the ONLY thing that you can do to stop people from being idiots and spamming. if you keep suspending their account and they continue to break the rules, then you can just IP ban them for good. |

is the spam really THAT bad? doesn't createblog have other things to worry about other than simple spam? Are there certain mods that get the honorable duty of searching for spam all day? Haha.

why would cB WANT spam? to be quite honest, i dont see your point at all. i think you're just trying to piss people off...and you seem to be doing a good job.
edit // if you absolutely hate cB soooo much, why do you continue to post on it? THATS what i want to know. |

Did I mention they're IP-banned? They can't come back.
And we don't want spam because is stupid, and against the rules. [ http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=970 ] It clutters the boards, makes everything load slower, and annoys people. It's bad. |

well you knoe wut.. i think the staff and mods are doing there best.. give it a rest ppls.. okai? At least they are trying to lower the spam and everything.. they are just trying to make it better.. so ppl stop complaining about SPAM just don't do it! How hard is that? I can understand if you're some newbew and got no idea wat you are doing.. then that's okai.. cuz you got no idea what you are doing..
So staff/mods i greatly appreciate wut you are doing cuz i knoe it's hard... but keep up the great work! |

oh jesus christ... i'm not even going to bother explaining myself to you. And you're getting off topic... so hush, now, please. If you'd like to carry this on feel free to pm me... but talking about this in this topic is pointless.
Spam doesn't annoy me, at all... So the biggest problem with spam is that it slows down the forum... that's completely understandable. But let's just make sure that ALL the mods warn people who are spamming... And that they REMEMBER to PM the person and tell them why they're being warned... for what reason the warning is for... and what topic the warning was given off of. That'll surely help. Ahem. |

well, when you think about it, if the person intentionally spams and creates pointless topics, they'll know why they got suspended.

well, maybe you're right about that. but that's not why you made this topic--it says that you don't think mods should suspend members even when they constantly spam/create pointless topics. that's completely absurd.
