This announcement comes as concerns have been raised by a relatively large amount of the forum about the few members who are ruining the forum for everyone else. As such, I have taken the action to close the Spam Section (No Mans Land), please enjoy the other areas of the forum until the senior staff of the forum have come to a decision on what to do. Trolling will no longer result in just a warning, all the Moderators have been instructed by myself to suspend anyone who is being disruptive on the forum. The suspension will last for however long the staff see fit. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reply or ask me in a private message. Thank you, Rogue - DBZF Administration |

What is considered trolling in a spam section? |

I'll let Rogue give her reasons, but it's a bit obvious that the trolling on that section was getting a bit out of hand. Plus, it honestly feels as though some people take pride in being the "outcasts" of DBZF, or the "anti-DBZF" within DBZF, which is downright ridiculous if you ask me. And that people use (and abuse) the Spam section as a platform to their trolling --which can sometimes be toxic and hostile (I've noticed people making fun of other members there in a negative way, for example --even if it's often camouflaged). We're a welcoming community and I honestly do believe that if we all respect each other everybody can get along and get treated equally. I don't understand why there has to be such a clear and negative division among members here. If we all decide on working towards a better, more friendly community for everybody then hopefully the Spam Section will be back quickly. |

Being unpleasant and seemingly unfriendly towards other members, the zero tolerance on trolling does extend outside the spam section. The forum should be a welcoming place for people to feel they are able to talk about anything they want without be mocked, humiliated or have someone insult them for no reason. |

No names mentioned, but the section was getting out of control. We took a staff vote and all agreed its best if we lock it down for a bit. People weren't taking me seriously when I was telling them to stop. Not only that, but you guy's were personally attacking members and ex-trollers, which arise more trolling. Just so much negative to say around the section , that its a good thing its closed. Also, some respected members were starting to contribute to the spam/troll posts. |

Not to name any names. But some of the posts/threads from some people have just been downright terrible. This forum should be a place where people come to have a good time and talk about the things they love. And not have to worry about being attacked because they have a different opinion. And they really don't need to read about stuff like how small someone's member is. I think a lot of people forget that this is a PG-13 forum. And I also think that some people are unable to make quality posts. |

If you don't like how someone posts, put them on ignore. Honestly I cant even think of a time when someone was legitimately "unpleasant" or "personally attacking" another member. |

If it starts to affect the way the forum feels to a large group of members, then it becomes a staff issue and a simple "ignore" doesn't work. |

The spam section was a nice gesture for people to go in be able to make spammer posts than anywhere so basically a privilege not a necessaty, many forums don't even have a spam section. It started being abused, making topics which causes trolling, other members being attacked. Regardless if joking or not, it bothers other members, brings more negativity and with any priveladge it gets taken away when abused. How many times in the spam section I have asked people to stop doing certain things and refrained from warning hoping they'd listen but they just go and do the same in another thread. More respect needs to start being shown around here, then you get spam back. Mods can't ignore posts, people otherwise what would be the poInt of staff? Edited by -Zero-, Sep 1 2012, 05:53 PM.

I think you're missing the point KOAS. The fact that you seem to be so worried about it is a bit troubling. Will you really miss it that much? |
