Okay, getting annoying now. Not only are you apparently incapable of realizing that the person posting inane comments with poor grammar in every thread might be yourself, you apparently don't realize the irony inherent in posting "i agree" after a complaint about spam. Read this guide to forum etiquette and don't post until you understand it. If I see any more spam, I am banning you for a day in the hope that it will quell your compulsive urge to post in every thread on the forums.

Don't get overzealous there, nspired. A week is a bit harsh for something as "insignificant" as spamming. The reason I'm putting insignificant in "" is because I don't see too much spamming in N contests & highscores (where I usually post). I think most spamming happens in fun & games (where posts don't accumualte) and here, in the news section. There is a lot of spamming here, because, as with most news, once the news is reported, there isn't much to say, so the topic wanders. *rambling* I also got docked about 100 posts, but I am not really concerned with that. *stops on the thin line between rambling and spamming* See, I can stop! {crap, just stepped over it} [__:P
Now back from life.

maybe what your seeing is alternate time zones. you get on an hour earlier with everyone else. i post and reply. 30 min - 2 hours later the rest of you get on. you look:
"HEY! that guy is on almost every topic on the first page! annoy him!"
then you get off, and i get on. reply to the new posts i need to reply to (like this) and have the SAME THING REPEATED.
look at the time zones before you criticize.
YAR HAR!

Argh.

Firstly, there are loads of people in different timezones here, and most of them don't spam. I am in goddamned Australia. When it's Saturday afternoon for me, it's Friday night for most the people here, who are American. That's how different my timezone is.

Second, timezones have nothing to do with your quantity of posts. In the picture I posted, it clearly shows that in one instance, you posted four times in two minutes, and it's not usual for you to make dozens of posts in a day.

Stop making excuses and accept responsibility for your own actions. You've been spamming. It's annoying. You need to stop it, rather than trying to shove the blame on other people.

Why can't you just stop being ignorant, and just accept the facts.
The screen Atilla posted is proof, so you can't say you did not do that.
Seriously, I've had times when the new posts was littered with my name, but each post I had was relevant to the topics. I did not get accused of spamming, why? Because I wasn't spamming.
Timezones are irrelevant with spamming. Hell, I'm not even sure if it's even arguable that timezones affect spamming.
Just give it a rest.

We have members in Australia, Bahrain, the UK, Germany, Finland, Singapore, etc. None of those users are spamming.

There is no excuse for replying to comments with phrases that lack content.

bbm: Consider how you are adding to a topic before you post in that topic.

Everyone else: Give bbm a break if he starts posting better and stops making excuses. He's new and just needs some time to get adjusted here.

Furthermore, blackbelmoral and Turtle just earned themselves some negative reinforcement. They'll be back tomorrow.
