Spam Question

[cornymikey]

I got a 10% level warning for spamming. All I did was ask a question, then the person who i asked the question to told me the answer, and I replied "Ahhhh." Is that really spam?

And I see that I cannot see other people's warn levels, so can u only see it when someone has a level of over 0%?

You can only see your own, teh jerreh uped mine another 10% cause of llamas :/
I now choose to use emoticons less frequently now. :l

No only you can see your own level.

 

[cornymikey]

ok, but can i ever lower it back to 0%?

 

[Garrett x50 cal]

I belive with VERRY good behavior but who cares just about everyone thats not a noob has 10% nothing to worry about.

 

[cornymikey]

yeah, but i think that this 10% is unjust. so if u say just "k" or "oh" in ur post, thats spam?

Pretty much =/ One worded posts are prohibited =P This is why I try to extend all my replies with as many words as I can.

I believe you can only see YOUR own Warning Level. I don't know how the Warning System works but *maybe* the warning may expire in due time.

so instead of "ahhhhh", i say, "Ahhhh, I see."

really? thats unfair. is this line going to increase my warning level? :O

That could work. Or you could add in more thought to your post, if possible.

That is considered spam. At least from the forums I was raised in. If you don't have anything worth to say, like stating your opinion, sharing a fact, or asking a question, don't bother posting. Especially if you just quote something and/or add some L33T talk to your thread.

If you've got a question as to why your warn level was raised, PM a staff member.

We don't need a thread full of posts like; "all i did wuz say LOL!" "hey, mine got raised too!!1!"

Well i'm sort of new to forums so I don't know what is spam, and what's not spam. Sorry I'm going to go read over the rules

 

[cornymikey]

Please do.

Yeah, we've had quite a few threads asking what spam actually is.

It's best that you read the rules if you've got questions like that.

...or Google it.

Ok I re-read the rules about 2 times, and now I understand, I'll try my best to stop spamming.

This is a must if you're trying to cut back on spam....

Example

 

[dragonflamez]

I have 70%, stop complaining,.

So should I now say, "Rolling on floor laughing" instead?
Well it was an honest question but I see whatcha mean about it...
70%? o===
uh, isn't that a bit too close to a ban???

Well I hope to stay at 20% or if possible, go back to 0% :/

 

[Jman]

If you posts actually include a subject, predicate, and a complete thought, then your chances of being warned go down significantly...

Saying "Rolling on the floor laughing" isn't any better than "ROTFL."

You could easily press a few more keys on your keyboard and say this:

"Haha! That was really funny! Do you have any more jokes or whatever like that?"

See? Elaborating just a little bit adds a lot.
