You mean a spam forum? If so then no, there really isn't any need for one.

I second that. We have the Funtime forum for all the "funny and insane stuff", like games, random quizzes, and the likes.

There's no need for a spam forum like that.

I say no.

All it does is not only work up spam, but will also encourage spam outside the board as well. One forum I go to tried the experiment and not only did that board eclipse the rest of the forum as far as posting went, but it also encouraged spamming and flaming outside the board as well. In the end, everyone resented the board's removal and we ended up wiping off about half of the regular clientele we had back in that day for flaming.

Maybe u guys dont get what i really mean! Maybe it can have a rule no spamming allowed what so ever! and all we do is only allow members with a certain number of posts! <----- If that doesnt sound good then scrap this idea!

Isn't 'forum insanity' ..basically spam? And if the whole idea is to get members who are qualified/mature enough to post it ["certain number of posts"], I don't think it makes much sense to indulge them in "forum insanity." 'sides, the funtime forum is good enough. :x

What you are talking about is making a spam forum. What does "insanity" mean? It means craziness, foolishness, senselessness etc. And what can come out of a forum that's just for senselessness stuff? That's right spam, and that's what we've been saying.
And no, having a set number of posts to get in that forum (even if we did start one) wouldn't work.

Yeah. That is basically a spam forum. It really pointless if you ask me. Also the members who qualified won't post there because it is pointless and they know better not to spam.

If you want to have a little fun then go to funtime. If you want to have some fun with pictuers of cats or junk do that in your sig.

the idea of that forum, i'd say it's un-nessecary as there are many forums which do similar things. so this 'insanity forum' is just a spam topic either way :sleeping:

and a no spam rule in said forum makes no sense o.O
nor does a "certain amount of posts needed to enter" limit ._.
