Spam threads

Hi

I want to know what the decision was for banning the spam thread like answer a q with a q, word chain, etc. I ask that Cameron would reconsider. These threads have no purpose whatsoever, no one reads them, and they just take up space in the "last 15 chillout relax" box. They attract spammers to the forum. There are so many spam forums, why cant they just go join one of those?

So please think about it.

I disagree these threads are fun, and all of them have a lot of pages of posts so people do obviously read them

If you want to cry over it....

Organize a poll and see what the mass population sez.... 8)

Unless you were to create an entirely new forum section dedicated to "Spam Threads" or "General Chit-Chat". Now that would be cool, and wouldn't clutter up the Chillout...relax section.

I never said I didnt spam, but the 1889 pages in the answer a q with a q thread weren't made up by the 2 of us alone

Yes, but those 1889 pages contain nothing but useless crap. The only thing you do is read the replay above you and reply again.

The threads are still around so I guess it was decided to keep the threads.

Those thread are not causing any harm. Some may be pointless but others are nice to just park off on: http://www.entertainment3.co.za/modules ... 132#566132

Why fix something that is not broken

This thread is as pointless as the spam threads... Posting here is like posting in a spam thread...
