    nope, doesn't sound stupid at all. you won't be able to miss it because it has absolutely nothing to do with the thread, it's full of links, and it generally advertises something (like a game or something). i'll pm you an example if you'd like.

    Aha, like a random commercial.

    That is not on the criteria list but I will say that if you come here and post a link in under 10 posts, we'll be notified.

    Does going off topic count as spam? for example we spoke of zombies in the "fear" thread, and ended up with rainbow cake.

    It means spammers are generally not established members. They join and start spamming right off, which means they have a low post count. Part of the rules the spam program recognizes is know spam content + low post count.

    No, it's not spam, but I will kill you if you do it again.

    Daggers and Razz are correct.

    The system will notify us if you just got here and are trying to post an off site link.

    Being off topic is not considered SPAM but it does piss off the admin

    You are correct. I *will* kill you for off-topic posts.

    i think it's all automatic now. and it seems to be working like a charm so far. i've gotten a few messages in my inbox that so-and-so posted thus-and-such but when i go to the thread. BAM. it's so not there.

    We're ironing out the wrinkles for sure.

    There are safe guards in place to ensure it cannot be used on an established member of the site Liz.

    Just wanted to let you guys know that our first "real" SPAM was reported by our automated system and stopped immediately. I believe we have it ironed out for sure.

    I don't think so. It's an automatic thing now - the site is patrolling itself, looking for spammers.

    It's pretty cool.
