rushgoober Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jul 1 2006, 08:53 PM) Some recent comments from several GD regulars -- along with our own observations -- prompted this... Grand Designs was originally designed to house the more "silly" threads that were populating Random Samples (silly in a good way, of course). Those threads took on a life of their own and were starting to knock elbows with the other not-so-silly RS threads, so we made a new home for them. And now GD is immensely popular. We also threw what few "spammy" threads that were residing in RS into here as well, saying at the time that we didn't want GD to turn into a mindless spam forum. But now we're seeing people starting their own spam threads in order to build their post counts, instead of using those few existing ones. And now THOSE new spam threads are are becoming more prevalent in THIS forum. And since this isn't supposed to be a spam forum, well... We will now ask that people who feel the need to raise their post counts by using the "express lane" to use the existing spam threads that everyone else uses, like Word (or whatever) Association, Catch Up To Test, etc., and not start new ones. To those who have posted these recent spam threads...no, we're not mad at you or anything. This was a trend that this forum was riding, and you just went along with it. But now that you have reached your goal, maybe we'll close your spam thread. To those who think this is "micromanaging," it isn't. We don't want GD to turn into a spam forum, so there you go. It's not out of control yet, but we'd rather it not get to that point. We have no plans to create a spam-only forum, so in order to get this forum back on track, this seems like the best solution. Thanks for your cooperation, and continue to Bake The Rolls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentScotty Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 It's too bad that the bozo that got banned for spamming 1500 times in one thread didn't post at least once in the "Flame the user above you" thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 The spam is getting bad in here again, so we're closing some threads. There are plenty of existing spam threads, so you don't need to create new ones. Also, enough with the running of GD. It totally distracts from the threads. Really, it's not that impressive.

CeeJ Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I thought that this could use a reading. As you can see it was started by the ADMIN and discusses what GD is suppose to be. MAYBE SOME PEOPLE NEED TO READ IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
