KaRzY6 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Okay, so in the last few days the DYOM section has had an out-break of spammers(or trollers). They have been posting porn and hate messages towards the designers Notna, Secronom President, Jimmy_Leppard and others. The recent accounts have been banned and some posts(porn) have been removed. It seems it is one people making many accounts. I please ask that if the person makes another account and spams(trolls), just report the post and the account. Please don't comment anything regarding to it. It will only feed the troll. Thank you for reading, regards from the DYOM Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guib Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 And then you will loose the game. Exactly, if you try to troll the troll, you become part of his game. The only thing you need to do is report him. Do not speak against these... these monsters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xGhostx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hmm, couldn't agree more. If he returns, just report him and log out of your account, so he can't see anyone online and he might stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. John Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Don't know why you made a topic about spammer. It's really easy to report a spam, you know. Just click the bottom-right button (Report). Then, type why you are reporting. By making a topic about this, it will feed the spammer and yourself more. Don't know why is this topic even deserving a topic.[/backseat moderation] The Designer Lounge has become a quite famous Lounge in GTAForums, eh?

He made the topic so that the user won't feed the troll, to remind them, I think. If he post in the designer lounge, the spammer would know and spam a lot more.

General Scrotum Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well, KaRzY6 is right: replying back to him/her/them will only 'feed' them and give them the attention they need to continue their 'sport'. Plus, replies to such people are usually spam-like and it can get you reminders, warnings, or even bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
