Spam posting consists of the following:
[Q]
1) The posting of gibberish in threads and chat (mass posting threads and posts in this manner is also considered trolling the board - after being warned to stop if this behavior continues, the member can be banned from Online Life. Do not spam chats or threads for gOld.
[Q]
2) Making nonsense or little value threads, posts and chat just to increase gOld count or raise post count.(This includes making thread after thread with little to no real discussion value just to post)and threads that contain no discussion point at all but just have one line or just a statement. (please make one line statements and inspirational sayings or poetry in your blog unless you are making a discussion about them)
[Q]
3) Advertising services at other sites in an attempt to drive business to other other sites in posts and threads and on the member homepage where the member would receive a benefit.
[Q]
4) Making sock accounts to do any of the above for gain on your main account.
[Q]
5) Making little value threads and or begging for reputation points in those threads or in posts. Begging for reps is also considered spam.
[Q]
6) Sending private messages to others to beg for ratings or gOld or begging for gOld in chats and threads.
[Q]
7) Constantly making tons of threads in one forum instead of making them in the right forums for the topic, example making tons of games and entertainment threads in idle chit chat.
[Q]
8)Repeating forum topics like several "whose your crush" threads - posting the same forum game or thread that already exists, etc.. check the forum to see if your topic already exists before creating new threads on the same existing topics.
[Q]
9)Coming into the site with the purpose of getting others to contact you offsite to their email adress - this usually happens by pms only - the person usually makes no legit posts or threads but only wants you to come to them elsewhere or gain your personal information and or starting a relationship with them or asking you for money in pms to you and usually starts with telling they like your profile so they contacted you. (if this happens to you by pm please add one of the member or post editors to the pm so we can can take care of it.)
[Q]
10) Refusing to speak english in the public thread areas of the board or in Ollie's chat room or Angel4truth's chat room. You must use english unless otherwise specified. (If you wish to chat in a language other than English, you can do this in Sylvanspirit's or Elleot's room or create your own room only)
[Q]
11) Reporting content that does not break any rules of Online Life, reporting yourself, and reporting several times in a row for no reason.
[Q]
These things are not ok here. When you see this kind of posting, please rate it down and not up. The self moderation system in place here depends on users using the moderation system properly.
