    • Proper spam. Anything whose primary purpose is advertisement (unless somehow relevant to the discussion/article).
    • HOSTS/GNAA/etc... type posts. Recurring, useless annoyances we're all familiar with.
    • Posts so offtopic and lacking value to even be a troll that they can't be called anything else.
    • Repeating the same thing over and over.

    If you don't know the rules best you don't try quoting them to other people.

    I think the grandparent was quoting common sense, not TMB's "rules".

      Why do you mention TMB?

      If you look at the link I provided it points to a Meta released by Martyb who was the senior manager at the time. It was agreed by the administration by agreement after a discussion. It was necessary because of the disruption to the site being caused by a handful of community members which eventually also resulted with ACs being prevented from commenting in the front page stories.

        Thank Goodness that happened, and we ended up with a diminution of 96% of comments, once ACs had been banned. And, you really did not follow the debate over what constituted "spam", when TMB was arguing that anything that critiqued the right was spam? Has your memory gone, or your integrity, my dear and aged janrinok? Time to shut the site down, since you have prevented kolie from buying out the husk that remains. Spam mod me again, boyo! Prove that there is nothing here but the dregs of the alt-right, that have been banned at all decent websites. I dare you!!

          I would say it is 50/50 split on regular users and alt-lighters, and the bigots seem yo be trying hard to clean up their act around here. Or maybe dump's insurrection and other crimes have finally generated a tiny bit of humility with some of the more self aware users. Either way you are more right than wrong and the masked rightwing bias is still pretty clear.

            Nah, only five or six really brain damaged alt- and trad-right neo-nazis and Southern Lost Mind Cause soylentils, though they do seem to be given protection from the Brexit Knot Seas sympathizers in the Staff. I, for one, do not welcome out right-wing coddling administration. Time to shut the entire site down, since the neo-nazis have borked the kolie buy out. You get what you pay for.

              Somebody please help me get this out of my head...


              Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
              Feel just like the end of a mule
              Somebody's been yawning
              Trying to break out the rules
              Yes, it's high time we went
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went there?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              .

              Well, it's four o'clock in the morning
              Somebody's shouting the news
              Nobody's been yawning
              Preachers all around for the blues
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              .

              Three o'clock and I'm dreaming
              Somebody's shouting the way
              Nobody can see me
              Trying to find a brand new day
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              .

              Two o'clock and I'm rolling
              Everywhere I look is the same
              Somebody's been calling
              Trying to put the blame on my name
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              .

              It's one o'clock and I'm falling
              Falling for the same old game
              Somebody's been shouting
              Let me be by the stage
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              .

              Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there
              Didn't think I'd make it in time
              Somebody's been shouting
              "Don't forget the lemon and lime"
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
              Ain't it high time we went?
