Important PLEASE READ

I've noticed spamming has been going on a lot around this forum. A lot of people are annoyed with these posts. That's why it's got to stop. A lot of people mentioned they don't want spam messages anymore. I know people are obsessed with post count, and most of their messages are spam. I'm not talking about everyone, infact most of the members on here do not spam. But some do. These messages are annoying, I think if this continues around the forum we should delete any of these spam messages. Please take a look at this carefully. Spam---it's got to stop.

you make great points Kathy, and Kristen has also seen what has gone on and is going to stop it =]


Haha I know this is kind of wierd, but really, can anybody why is spamming or was spamming on this site tell us why? Haha seriosuly, everyone, it is pointless! =]


Look at Kathy; she has the most counts on the site usually, and I've never once seen a spam message from her =] Also, look a Kristen, tons of posts, no spam messages.. So basically I have two points

1- Spammng is horrible- It junks up forums, causes fights ,and is plain wrong.
What do post counts matter? Really, they don't mean anything! Nobody is going to look down on you if you have less than another member =]



2- If for some reason you are still obbsesive about post counts, don't spam and actually take your time to read a section you don't usually go into and post some good, nice, responsive long comments like many of our top posters have done =]





Thanks everyone, and let's not spam! =]

I'm posting what I originally posted on Kristen's thread in the Announcements forum.

OK, I don't think any one wants a 'post contest'. If a guest (not a member) is viewing this forum and sees informative and helpful posts. They might want to join, because they are going to know that everyone contributes to this site and is willing to help out newbies who are new to this site and/or is new to Webkinz World. Also, spamming just takes up space. Would everyone like this site with only "OK", "Yeah", and "Hi" posts? I wouldn't like that, would you? Spamming also annoys a lot of people...if you wrote an awesome story that you worked really hard on and receive a "cool" on it. Just a "Cool" not a "Cool story, you must've worked really hard on it! Good job!" not even a "Good job!" comment on it. It only takes a couple more seconds to make an informative post and to add just a a couple of words.

Same thing with advertising on other members' trade threads. If the owner doesn't have the item that XXX is looking for you can certainly post and tell XXX that you have that item and ask them nicely to go to their trade thread. But if you just randomly post your trade thread link when nobody is interested in that item, why would any one care about your thread? Same thing with asking someone to view your thread on another member's thread...wouldn't you be annoyed if they did that to you?

Kristen has every right to take away any of your privileges if you violate Webkinz Mania's rules or Ganz' user agreement. Being able to trade and send messages is a privilege. Being a moderator is a privilege. Being an Experienced Trader is a privilege. If you do something bad or an action that violates the rules, you are going to have to face the consequences. Privileges are earned...if you cannot follow the rules, then Kristen can take them away and you'll have to earn them again. Hey, it's completely OK if you get one of your privileges away just don't make that same mistake again, it's not the end of the world-- you can start all over and earn that privilege back.

wow I agree 100 million percent great job =]

fine you just won't see me again at least for a very long time, by!!!!

again, I really don't want to get into this.. Numerous people have explained this to you at each spam message of yours ; just check them and read the following posts... this was writen by ally. ally i think that was kinda mean. sparkle was just askin a question. what if she forgot what people told her? i forget somtimes. and i think people got the message thanks every one for posting these spamming things but some people i know on here are getting upset about them.

on the contrary of "people are getting upset about them" [people telling people they are spamming] people are really pissed about it. I was trying to be ice to sparkle; dont want to get into a fight with her! I jus t want to get this resolved; there are about 10 or 15 places where people have explained this to her; if she needs to remember go to Bunny's WW house; And spamming is against the ruels now =[ So if people are unhappy that they cant spam s you suggested in your message, they can just refrain from doing it, get them deleted/in trouble, or just leave =[ =[ =[ =[ =[

ok well i know sparkle and sparkle forgive me but she's forget ful! lol =) and i thought spamming was always against the rules. any way i'm not trying to get into a fight or somthing. and there are some people who get upset about every one talking about spamming its every were!! =)

well, spamming is against the rules.. Should we say, in comparison to the government, when you break the law(lets say somebodydumped oil in the ocean on purpose with no intention of doing anything about it, just an easy way to get what they wanted to do instead of working harder , taking more time, $ , etc. ) you and people on the site are pissed at the United States, police, people who talk about it , newspapers who write about it, or TV Newscasts who broadcast it? I don't think its wrong of the groups listed above.. (US, bystanders, newspapers, news station, police)

confused o well just drop it lol =)
