I personally think spamming should be banned. If new people joining the forum cannot say 50 valuable, helpful or interesting things then there should be no reason they should be posting throughout the forums. I realize it's hard to have integrity while being an anonymous person and I also realize that newbies have intelligent things to add at times. Post count and karma are not always the best way of judging comments but it would work a lot better if people couldn't spam there way up to fifty posts. I feel as though the information and communication throughout the newbie forum would be a lot more interesting if people had conversations instead of starting and posting on spam threads.
Will members look at you the same if they look back and see you made 50 spam posts in one day. Maybe not, but I will, not that anyone really cares what a newbie thinks.
Spamming is against the rules, it is however tolerated on this board for the time being in the hope that in time as people will eventually get over the need to race to 50 and start to use the forums as intended.
I would love to clean this board up, lock and delete all the spam but that would probably just cause more harm than good right now. If you really need to spam then doing it in just the one thread isn't actually such a bad idea but it may send the wrong message.
Try and use your time getting to 50 constructively and invest time to research the forums and educate yourself on how to navigate SR safely. The entire purpose of creating the newbie sub forum was to reduce the amount of spam and duplicate threads created on subjects already posted elsewhere.
Many people do not take the time to use the search function before posting things already covered which just clogs up the forums with multiple threads and reduces the effectiveness of information sharing.
