    Reducing "SPAM" on YE

    The Classified forum now requires a small payment to be able to post job advertisements. This is because many members have complained about the volume of threads/posts being made in the forum and is not for personal profit. The classified forum remains the ONLY place to post advertisements, if they are found anywhere else, the thread will be deleted, the account permanently banned, and all your business gets is a bad name.

    Regards,
    Nick.

    no more spam policy!

    Nick's idea should really help with the spam situation and both myself and some of the mods will be watching out for any unwanted spam posts. Please make sure that you post based on the forum guidelines or else your post will be deleted and you may possibly be banned from using the YE forum.

    Thanks,

    Adam T.

    Yes I think this is wise. But is there a link that defines spam according to YE terms?

    I don't really think spam needs a direct definition. All spam is is annoying crap that doesn't have anything to do with our objectives, that's all.

    I don't really think spam has a real definition, just something that annoys us both.

    I agree with the Spam policy - but when I see spam, how the hell do I let a mod know? is there a "tell a mod" button? I know PLENTY of times when I need a mod and no one is to be found.

    What's the best way to report someone who is sending spam PM's? I get those all the time. I'm 100% for de-spaming this site... great idea!

    Seriously, ban Cindrella already! Admins have enough time to delete some of my posts, but they can't delete the 12 spam posts Cindrella's made already?
