Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-08 23:26:26


Y would people spam anyhow there usually isnt a reason to spam and sometimes it a dumb reason

Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-09 00:16:30


Idnno dude. I mean legal action might not do anything, because outwar could say that the people spam under their own free will to do so. thus outwar can't be held responsible. even so i've seen the spamming and its just annoying. who the hell cares? screw outwar! that site sucks major ass. later.

Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-09 12:27:03


Outwar is still spamming all over Newgrounds so I have seen. What they do now is post the link and add a few randon characters like $$ or ## and they tell people in order to click the link, just remove the two extra characters.

Damn you Outwar!

Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-09 23:39:53


I'd also be willing to report any users spamming links (BTW outwars is a great game but you shouldn't spam the link, in fact you can be banned from outwar for that)

Yeah, the best thing we can do is if we see someone spamming Newgrounds with a site is to click 'abusive'. I've seen heaps of them in reviews and I know people have been searching for them too. In fact it seems there's a bit of a 'spammer alert squad'. So we should start small and work our way up, eliminate the users who are spamming and then work from there.

Also its unlikely outwar is going to do anything about their users because their policy is getting other people to click on their users website to get more points, and the most likely way people are going to get hits is through spamming other sites.

Regardless though, people who spam, really need to rethink their lives, I mean what do they do all day?? No need for an answer there. Enough said.

Man, you dont even have to hack em, there servers down like every 10 days anyway, thats why they "have so many different links", cause the out war.com link is always screwed up

It's getting bad at other sites I vsit, too. Neopets was recently attacked by Outwars with links galore. I was the only one in my guild who accidentally clicked on the link, then i reported it immediately. Everyone's trying to figure out ways to stop this mess, but they keep getting smart! Spammers smart? EEEEE!

When newgrounds figures a way to completely stop them, I'll be the first to announce newgrounds did it and tell everyone else how to put an end to Outwars and spammers completely.

Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-12 02:19:43


I agree with you, you should rid of them spammers. Mostly every single daily feature has one of those people advertising the website. And they didn't even watch the movie I bet. People like that I wonder what their motivation is, I look at one of those people who just advertise on Newgrounds and I think what’s the point of them being there? They make no movies, No music, got no favorite films or authors, tones of reviews written but just to advertise their site! Got to stop these leaches leaching newgrounds to be a advertising rink cause that’s not what I think NG is for.

Response to Warning to spammers 2003-06-12 03:09:43


This is Outwar's Anti-Spam Policy as u can see sorre it is a violation I didn't know.

Outwar prohibits its members from using spam and other forms of Internet abuse to gain character power. Spam is defined as including, but not limited to, the following:

Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient;
Messages posted to Usenet and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, or posted in excessive volume;
Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or "Instant Messaging" system (such as ICQ);
Certain off-line activities that, while not considered spam, are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations, or laws.
Outwar may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions:

Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, Outwar may immediately terminate the membership of the individual implicated in the abuse. Termination results in the immediate closure of the account, and a prohibition against any future membership.

Account Suspension: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, Outwar may immediately suspend the membership of the individual implicated in the abuse. Suspension is intended to prevent the abuser from benefiting from their abusive activities by prohibiting the offender from playing Outwar. After a thorough investigation, if the spamming incident is verified, but does not rise to the level of a terminable offense, Outwar may (but is not obligated to) lift the suspension.

How to Report Abuse

If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please click the "Report a Spammer" link on the page that was spammed to you and submit a complaint
."

This is at the bottom of the Outwar FAQ. I say if they do nothing we should spam the hell out of outwar

I agree totally with Tent. They're abusing the system, using it for their own means, and not helping the artist who made the movie in any way. Lets get rid of the parasites from the system. Glad to see Wade is doing something about this. Long live Newgrounds!

Alright, spamming according to dictionary.com is: tr.v. spammed, spam·ming, spams
To send unsolicited e-mail to.
To send (a message) indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups.

Basically that's what the outwarers are doing, sending messages in reviews to people to go to their character's sites in reviews, and it has to stop! Its pretty obvious everyone either a) wants to hack the site or b) ban the spammer's ip address from Newgrounds. What happens? Only time will tell.

P.S.
To get experience vote on submissions, to get 10 exp points vote on 5 submissions.
