Wow, these spamming devices are getting really sophisticated! Even so, they're usually plain obvious but this one would have probably caused doubts in me, too.

I think the commercial links would have been a giveaway, which is why the moderators should have deleted the whole post, not just the links. Without the links, it makes the spam even more difficult to identify and is confusing for everyone.

I don't know how they work but aren't they usually attracted to inactive message boards? I noticed they very rarely appear in the busy social or Les Mis boards, but are common in forums where posting is sparse. Not sure if it would solve the problem but it would probably help if everyone did what you advocate and post in the proper forum.

Indeed, this is true. I also agree that the problem might be alleviated by using the boards as they were intended and not allowing any to lie fallow as far as possible.

Oh, I don't mind! My username is mysterywriter94. I have two stories floating around, you want me to give you the titles, categories, etc. so they'd be easier to find?

I personally don't see the point in rping on Twitter because I hate one-liners and that's really all you can write on Twitter. But if you like it *shrugs* I'm just used to writing longer posts that become a sort of pass-along fiction.

Same here. I don't even have a Twitter account, so I couldn't entirely agree with that opinion. I enjoy typing paragraph after paragraph until I've come to what seems like a good stopping point.

I would definitely expect a lot on myspace indeed. I wonder why they just over thrown myspace since facebook had existed. I insist that there are more interesting activities on myspace, so as to have dun and be updated all the time.

I love role-playing, but I can never find enough people motvated enough to take it seriously enough to get involved. Come on, it's like the eletronic form of acting. Characterization, getting into character, getting to know your character, thinking like them, etc. Who wouldn't want to do it? :mrgreen:

Cena, I believe you're quoting from my witchesofoz.com board. :) I tried to cover all my bases. lol

That is because "cena2020" is not a poster, but a spambot, whose spam remains on the board even though it should have been removed by the moderators as soon as it was blue-carded. Simply removing the commercial links from a spam post does not solve the residual problems and confusion that spam creates. (Incidentally, it also doesn't help to reply to spam posts, so if anyone sees spam, they should blue card it rather than posting replies.)



And the reason the post remained is because your hard-pressed and very busy moderators do not always have the time to check meticulously through each and every post to ensure that the poster is not merely a newcomer who hasn't bothered to read the board rules. In that situation, editing the post is the safer and kinder option.
These posts were NOT BLUE-CARDED they were simply picked up in a random sweep. If you want a post removed, kindly let the moderators know!

So, if Twitter's out, where would be a good place for an RP?
