ClubCalibra.com has during the past few months become a hive of Spam, from feedback provided by mature and longterm members, I'm sad to say that the general opinion is that much of the content posted is of no interest, dull, chatter, spam etc - whatever you call it, its not why this community was built.

We have been forced to introduce a new moderation policy that will without doubt 'jumpstart' the community to remove the following...

Clean posts of interest/use to new/old members
Reduction in spam posts discussing pointless or inappropriate shite
Argumentative members and disputes
Abusive members, personal attacks
Attention seeking, lazy grammar or spelling, text talk etc

Members deemed to be causing any the above will now be reported and discussed internally, the outcome of which WILL be an initial warning - subsequent reoccurance of such behaviour will now result in an immediate moderation of posts, potentially a ban in severe cases.

ClubCalibra.com has historically been a mature community of long-term and loyal members, many of which are bored of the repetative crap posted - we are actively striving now to 'nip it in the bud' and prevent the community from losing valuable assets.

If right now you're feeling guiltly of any of the above, I suggest you quietly leave the forum now and perhaps visit another alternative Calibra community, alternatively please attempt a reform, join another forum to post crap and use this forum ONLY for discussing Calibra related content.

We greatly appreciate your cooperation, and for the feedback from our loyal, valued and mature longtimers.

Kind regards,

Ash & Moderation Team

I've changed my Username for a while but my mission is serious, I am on the warpath for needless Spam, insults, arguments, text speak. You have been warned. No really.

If they are in random chat, in an appropriately titled thread, then im sure there is no problem.

Good decision Ash

Excellent news,
the sites needed it for a while now.

It's a good idea. Well played, team!

Good work!

I do have a query though due to my inexperience with "spam"
What if a topic starts, the conversation diverts somewhat to two members giving eachother a bit of friendly banter etc. Is this spam? I'd just rather be sure than get a warnign (I love this site! lol)

Cheers,

Millzy

If a Thread is in Random Chit Chat or Jokes, posts will go off at a tangent, there's no helping that and some amusing stuff is said.
When a Member posts in most other sections, eg Technical Troubleshooting or Projects and Builds then stay on the subject and if you have nothing constructive to add, do not post. As they say, if you've got F*ck all to say then say F*ck all.
If a Thread is in eg Show Off Your Car and the Member is asking for opinions, keep them civil. Any posts insulting other Members or arguing will be removed and those Members warned. hth

Understood

That's great cheers Trigger.

Basically if you don't know what you're on about then zippit, yes? lol Fair enough, this'll probably be my last post then! lol

Trigger · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2008, 23:14:34 PM »

I've just had a count up and there's been over FIFTY ONE spam posts removed today, I hope it's less tomorrow.....
