Rell Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Seems I PMed a moderator and have yet to get a response. Just wondering about the spam policy. In a certain topic, which I will not point out here, because it would be debating moderation. I did some modifying of the bb code so it wouldn't be a link, and it was edited by moderation, I don't care that it was edited, just want to get an understanding... I just want to know this, which of the following scenario's is true? A. Dont want certain sites linked to or just not mentioned at all? I really think that is immature if you guys dont want sites mentioned B. Dont like links to certain sites? This in my mind would be justified since I do understand the ordeal with spamming. Here is the dillemma... When people are not spamming and just pointing someone in the right direction I think you should be able to at lease mention those certain sites. If scenario B is true, maybe you guys could make a mod where sites that spam links would change to text only instead of a link. Really and truly filters should not be substitution for moderation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rell Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 Okay, this could be closed I guess, since I got my question answered, and I fully understand. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted March 7, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 7, 2004 well thats not entirely true, a site that has been "spam blocked" earned that position. so questioning why we blocked the url here is ok but I am here to tell you that when a site url is blocked on Neowin, its because that site did enough to warrant it. Not because its "childish" maybe you need to understand that there is history behind the reason and that we don't do this kind of thing to annoy our members.
