Default Crashed Forum?

General Chat, is rammed with crashed threads at the moment, and they all turn into abusive and spammed thread which inevitably get locked and deleted.

Can we have a seperate forum for them to be moved too so they stop cluttering up general chat?

Spam and abuse is killing Sax-p at the moment

Its a no win situation.

People start the threads, they get full of abuse, people complain, we remove them, we get slated for it.

The thing is though its such a small minority of people causing the problems!

At least the spam will be in a different forum, so you don't have to trawl through tonnes of spammed threads to find something decent to read.

would be pretty good to have a different section dedicated for people to put their crashes... (like the for sale section, insurance section, general chat, etc..)

Well thats what i think anyway.. lol

Someone's talking sense?!

Not just a week ban or whatever it, you spam or break the rules, etc. you don't have a Sax-p account anymore

Problem sorted.

Would be quicker and easier to make a list of those who don't spam

90% of the replies in General Chat seem to be spam, so theres lots of ban's to be handed out me thinks

Especially most of those who posted in the ashleyp thread earlier.

Yeah I made a couple of suggestions to the thread about Sax-P mugs, I was quite surprised to see that. I had a look at that thread and could'nt believe it really.

It's very easy to type stuff on a keyboard, but wheres the respect? Hope the administrators/moderators manage to sort out stuff like this, it lets down Sax-P, especially for new people like myself.

I've not a problem with all the crashed threads (even people should be more careful) its just the fact they get spammed to hell.

There are still crashes at least once a week all year round, i think it's actuall a good idea. Mods would end up having to move a lot of threads from gen chat though. But it could be added at the bottom by the test forum, or under the website links section

A section like that will encourage people to crash so they too can have a thread in there
