We don NOT need any more spam than what is brought upon us by those who don't want to be here.
Having the titles of deleted threads still show that a thread had existed is something many vocal members have asked for over the years. They and we are now reaping the rewards of their persistence and insistence on some of what they called "transparency" of the moderation of the forums. MMORPG.com responded to their wishes. We have those members to thank for this. "Improvements" are often double edged swords.
I don't doubt MMORPG.com will modify or remove this member requested "feature" shortly.

Also if you insist on spamming the forums you too will be reported and banned.

False reports are often cause for moderation too. Reading the Rules of Conduct and mostly abiding by them have prevented me from being banned here so far.
Enjoy the show. I'm going to go eat and them play some games.

You're not a moderator so stop pretending to be. You are harassing me for having good intentions. I highly doubt they are going to ban someone who obviously tried to do something good instead of someone who decided they could be a pretend moderator and harass other users. Time to get over yourself
Counterspamming the forums will not be productive at all, infact it will just add to a much larger issue.
Arguing about the issue is not helping either, as other members have reported posts in this thread which is making the workload harder.
At the moment there are around 40 reported posts that I am trying to deal with on top of continually finding and banning one person who is determined to spam the hell out of the forums.
Please don't make the workload any harder, and instead use the time you are spending arguing over this matter to reporting posts by said users causing larger problems thus making my job easier.
Informing someone of the rules is not harassment. But don't worry I'll let you get the last word in.

hey Atomicide, any news on when you guys are going to ban or get rid of him?
I've been keeping on top of him since logging on, a few accounts banned and as people can see a few threads deleted as well. With a continually changing IP its hard to keep him from reregistering, but im assuming as its been quiet for a while he has given up.

Just to build on what Atom has said, this "poster" has been doing this for the last week nearly. I personally have banned 30+ accounts created by the user and deleted hundreds of threads. Its very hard for use to keep on top of the poster with the IP continually changing. The poster has a new account created before we even finish banning the last one.
Were sorry for all the posts but until something more efficient gets worked out you will have to put up with them till we mods jump on them and get rid of them. Also Atom don't get your hopes up they will be back.....
Have the police track thier IP and arrest them o-o Shouldn't posting spam like that be illegal at some point? I think I read something earlier this week about a kid who was fined 700 million dollars for spamming facebook.
Hate to drag this out but the best way to deal with him/it/her would be to report the post, then ignore it replying to it only encourages it. It really is just an attention seeking device. If we just report the threads and refrain from replying to them, it will get tired of it and go away.
I did a thread yesterday about these idiots and got sent a warning that I was spamming, hopefully the OP does not.
I do understand though that it takes a lot of work to keep a crack down on such nonsense, keep it up we do appreciate your efforts. We can put up with it, I am sure we have all had to deal with children before.
Oh yes don't reply to their threads that should be obvious really.
Keeping the title of a deleted thread is a good idea in a normal situation IMO. But when you have several titles that are disgusting, or 8 pages full of them, it's a good idea not to keep them. It's not rocket science.
can you ban him from making an account for a specific email? It takes more time to grab both a new email and a new ip.

That is quite possibly the the silliest feature anyone has ever come up with o-O If a thread is deleted there was nothing good in it to begin with.
If I am vocal enough can I get little hearts added next to my topic's instead of stars?
Why save the title of something you can't click
Also if you insist on spamming the forums you too will be reported and banned.
I think i'll report you for the threat

Harassment isn't a false report.
