Last night there were like 4 discussion things started by the same person. The titles were just one letter and it was like 'wow' for one item or something. They're gone know and me being the nosy little thing that I am was wondering why. Did the administration delete them because it seemed kinda like someone was trying to con Eden...at least in my view of it. Anyone know what happened?
What happened to those one discussions?

My guess is yes. It occasionally happens on the forum but the admin are speedy quick in dealing with them. Don't worry though. No one will let someone ruin Eden for the rest of us.

See that little "Flag" link on every post and thread?

Ohh...that didn't even occur to me. I'm used to it being on other sites and standing for excessive swearing or dirty talk. I'm glad you pointed that out.
01/22/2011
People swear and talk dirty on here all the time. Mostly we are all just worried about personal attacks and offensive material (racism, homophobic remarks and disrespectful comments about a person or group of peoples appearance, gender, or personal choices). Spam, and abuse of the website is also frowned upon.

There's been too much spam in the forum lately. It's a real turn off.

It makes me sad. Eden is such a great community. I don't understand why some people who want to try and ruin it. But I'm here to have fun & make friends & let my dirty side out to play and that's just what I'm gonna do.

The spam was really annoying, I'm glad to see it's been taken care of.

Hahaha, I have to agree; "kjfljdlakdfhga" really didn't do it for me.

The spam makes me leery to check forums, lol.

I just go away until it has cycled into the second and third pages. Which is why it drives me nuts when it is almost there and all of a sudden 6 people comment on it. GRRR.

I thought posts and threads couldn't *be* deleted. I know the offensive ones can't be deleted, and I'm very angry that they can't. So why are the spammy ones deleted when the offensive ones arent?

I would assume because the threads which are spammy do not have any kind of opinion or value to them; they are one word/garbled letters.

Even an offensive post / thread provides value--if only learning value.
Spam provides nothing.

I know right? How many people have to comment on a threads being spam before they feel the person gives a shit? Personally, I think if you are posting garbled letters, or inane barely there questions about products instead of reading reviews, no amount of comments is going to make a difference. Those people are generally only in it for the points and not the popularity.

Too true! And not only does commenting keep it at the top of the forum but it can raise their ranking to have tons of people replying to their thread.

lol! It's definitely not you. I think there's been a few I have flagged and posted a "Please make sentences" on it. It's the people holding long convos on the thread or actually trying to address the spamming "topic" that give me a twitch.

Definitely. If I ever respond, it is right after they have been posted, and I reply that there ARE reviews on the site. Thats about it.

I'm glad those posts have been taken care of! It is definitely annoying to log in and see all the spam posts! I have yet to make a discussion topic b/c when I do think of a poll or whatnot I search & it's already been posted. If I have a question about a product I just send a msg to someone who has reviewed it but most of the time it's something that is stated in a review.
