1. If a username spams a thread, or multiple threads, or makes many threads, or cross-spams for longer then an hour, then its an offense and refer to number 2.
1.1. A spam is considered anything thats off-topic or the majority of users have no interest in, while containing very little(the amount of new knowledge you would gain if you assume you know nothing that is said in the post must be less or equal to a sentance) information on its own and is not involved in a current debate on the forum. Or has been repeated before in the last 3 days
Seems like Xena crossed the line here, arguably.
It's also up for debate on "off-topic". Xena sees quite convinced that quite a lot is off-topic as opposed to natural tangents from only focusing on the OP.
2. Any spam thread/post should be deleted, in addition to the following points:
2.2 If the username of the spammer is a puppet ban it.
When are they no longer a puppet, and should an established user have that much more power? Sounds like room for bias without fleshing this one out.
2.3 If the username of the spammer is a puppet and the main account is know, or its not a puppet and this is his/her 1st offense, warn the main account for a future ban.
Not all are that obvious, and they can always make another account (ie: Jim's mock-threats).
2.4 If its a second offense ban the main account. If the main account is unknown, then ban the main account once its known, if this is his second offense, otherwise look at number 2.3.
I somehow see people being pissy after a two strikes policy. Favorites > Rules.
3. If a post or a thread, or several posts or threads cause technical difficulties, then these posts or threads are to be considered spam, in which case refer to number 2, unless its proven it was not intentional.
3.1 Technical difficulties are considered when posts other then the malicious one experience any kind of technical difficulties, because of the malicious one.
3.2 Technical difficulties are considered when the malicious post makes anyone's browser or other programs crash or experience technical difficulties.
3.3 If the malicious post is proven to cause technical difficulties, but was not intentional, then the post should only be removed by a moderator, if a majority of users have these technical difficulties.
Pretty solid.
4. If a post contains child pornography directly(not linked) or contains links to such material with intent on simply sharing it, then its considered spam and refer to number 2.
Obvious enough for users to toy with it.
5. If a post is made to somehow create illegal activities based in this forum, then its considered spam and refer to number 2.
Like what?
