What is the standard for spamming that can get you banned?
15 replies, posted
I've been told by several people now that to keep people from supercharging their post count, there's an automatic ban for spamming. What's the standard on this? Is it, say, 100 posts in half an hour or something similar to this?
There's no automatic ban for spamming.
But I've seen people in threads with:
"User was banned for this post - 'Spam' - (whatever mod banned them)"
manual ban
Because they spammed. The judge whether or not the post was really necessary I would assume.
If spam bans existed on auto, I would be gone.

What a shame.
You can't post more than 5 times a day.

Even if there was an autoban for spamming, you're not really in any danger because 100 posts in 30 minutes is a damn impressive feat.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24503325]I can disprove this.
At the moment, Jad has 2,963 posts. He has been here since June of 2010. That means, he has been here a maximum of 93 days.
2,963 / 93 = 32 posts a day (rounded up)
Jad has some kind of anti-ban software, or I just owned you :P[/QUOTE]Or you could uh, check the posts per day thing.
Which is...42.42. Wow.

If there was an auto ban, people would just auto post up to the brink of auto ban and stop.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;24503511]Yeah but your post count is different now.[/QUOTE]Cause I've been posting. Duh. :v:

What? ARGHHHHHHHHH! Fuck you! You ruined my calculations. Now I have to start over!
If only there was a simpler way to find out how many posts you make per day on average..
Now that you mention how often you post I feel slow
And if Facepunch had auto bans again (wasn't around for when they were so I'm not sure if spamming was one of them) most of us would be gone
