Okay, before I go one I wanted to write this because I was turning in to a spammer (I was being considered cmc!) and, well, I don't mean to do these things, I just ask lots of questions- so, lets head to the point of this thread.

First Things First: Top ways of getting banned


Well, like cmc, geri, and some say Wooly Mammoth are (maybe not Wooly) big spammers. I repeat SPAMMERS!. They ask many stupid things, many stupid things. Some things that I've heard from other posts about cmc are: he cracked DB and got the source, (so, that's what I've heard) stole copyrights (I have heard this too), and well, he posted dumb messages. Those are some of the big things on what not to do.

Secondly: Getting Bad Responses


Okay, another thing you should never do is post way too many threads in a day- as in 20. If you do you'll get remarks like, "Stop posting." or "Man, you're the next cmc/geri/wooly mammoth games." So if you don't want any of thos remarks then, please don't flood the boards. Well, what I just said is true, you might not even get one response, you could just get all your posts locked and/or deleted. So, that's what I have to say about that.

Thirdly: Getting posts locked/deleted


Okay, this is the start of being a spammer. A big start. Also, I saw a post once that said, "Please lock this post, I've never gotten a post locked before!" Well, that was plain ol' stupid. Everyone needs to learn not to post that type of foolish stuff. Plus, with my experiences of almost being a spammer I learned one thing: never post things like DB vs. BB or anything like that. So no pointless threads or they will be locked/deleted.

So I hope I helped with this spamming issue and just telling people about what will happen.
