General Discussions

I really feel like we need a Spam Bait section in General Discussions. We don't even necessarily have to call it Spam Bait, just call it REALLY General Discussions.

Candidates to be moved to this section would include, well, threads like the top six on the board now, the ones frequented by noobs who post short, if not one-word, answers to every "Do you like milk?" thread they find harboring the delusion they're going to get a link-back.

REALLY General Discussions. Like flypaper! Post there, get banned!

Great!!....

**Shey** · 11-08-2011, 04:15 AM

anything specific?

**serandfae** · 11:34 AM

Hm, let's see...

Anything with the name "dofollow" in it should automatically be sent to this category, be it post or thread. Seriously, there oughtta be a keyword filter in just for that term. Same goes for "spinner" and "scrapebox". Got those terms, straight to premod.

"What is meaning of luxury life" and "Do you like rain?" would be good candidates. Any of the ones targeted by noobs who fill page one with one word replies to them are possibilities, though not automatically.

hmmm... why this forum allowed threads like "Do you like rain?" in a first place?
let me guess: it still needs thread and post count.

I would think that the whole idea was to allow for some fun during "work time"...

Much like the coffee break.....

you mean like having good time watching troll's festivity?

It's not hard to distinguish fun and games started by established members and fluff garbage started by drive by posters looking to promote themselves. It's usually the latter that attracts more of the same in replies. Those you'll see clogging half of page one, all replies by the same poster, all more fluff.

You should get mad at these folks; they're taking away from your fun and game time!

there is nothing wrong with having fun but it's still doesn't explain why you allow
'spam generating threads' like the one you have mentioned above.

Me? I'm not staff. Haven't been for awhile now.

But when I was, threads like the ones I just replied to would not have been suffered to exist further.

But how am I going to find the best SEO companies without going to the spam bait section!!!!!?????

**serandfae** · 12-03-2011, 02:38 PM

Do a keyword search for "dofollow" within this forum. From the respondents to all threads marked there are the very best Tycoon Talk has to offer.
