IMPORTANT: Few important changes to fight Spam - Page 12

50 characters is better but is still not apt for some posts and sections

I completely agree with this decision of yours. It will be very helpful for us. As the writer of an FF, I feel a bit disappointed when I see people giving me comments of just two words. like anybody else,even I would like to see people putting their thoughts into their comments. Instead of giving me replies of one word or even two, it is better that there is no reply at all.

This will even keep the forum clean. So I hope to see this implemented in the near future.
It is a wonderful suggestion, hope to see it implemented soon enough!

Thanks,

yes you are right you should do all these things to stop spamming. Spammers should not be allowed to do spaming on this site.

Let us hop e for happy discussing!

^^ 50 characters but still "spam"?!

Everyone is entitled to have their opinion and there is nothing wrong in that.

However we never claimed that it is a full proof way to prevent spam. And this is why we have also proposed that members who still "spam" will be tagged as "spammer" by moderators.

Hope this helps.

Again examples of abuse and cruelty have been displayed here. 😆 What more did I expect?😆

Hi,

When we work on this we would even eliminate the QUOTE feature when counting the characters. So for that one do not need to create a new ID and quote to prove a point. And deleting that post was nothing wrong as it was just quoting another user.

Cheers,

lol.. i will be the first one labeled as spammer!
but there are so many ways around this.. its not even funny!

thanku.. but the number of characters being minimum of 150, is something like telling write an essay of 150 words.. generally when we write comments on something, & not a thanku , even in that comment we have to write 150 minimum words.. hmm...i don't relate to it.. for example: when we comment in the fanfic section the comment will be of two to three lines & to keep restrictions on the number of words, i feel a bit odd with this.. & i also think when such kind of restrictions are posed may be people will tend to stop making posts... this is my opinion..no offense...

I am sorry but I don't agree with ur idea to stop spamming, sometimes u just cannot say more than lol, thank u , I agree, etc, etc, etc????This is ridiculous to impose a limit of atleast posting 150 words, its like u have to count ur words so that u r not labeled a spammer, it means I have to go on blurting stuffs even if I don't have much to say.

And I agree with Mysticwater24 that make people understand whats "constructive criticism".

I very well agree with this topic, I am tierd of seeing all time so many posts, only written thanks, t4s, etc, sometimes while seeing all this, I wonder why there is a ''like'' button then?, I really appericiate this idea which u made in ur topic, it's much needed..........
