Fake links provided by spammers/ IRC Channel

[Gotharious]

Hello everyone
I'm new in here, and i got to admit this is one of the best forums i've saw, but i noticed most of the links are being posted by spammers which take you to some porn site, Etc.
why these links don't get deleted by the moderators, and shouldn't the mods make some kind of punishments for those scums?

the second question is why isn't there a channel on IRC that allow members to have an online chat? i'm sure it will reduce the number of unneeded threads, which caused by repeating the same subject or asking the same questions, while pro members can provide the beginners exactly what they need based on their chat on the channel, plus it will provide a quick help for those who needs it, and also help improving the forum by adding some more information, etc.

We've been deleting many of the spam threads, but I see no point to go all the way back into archives and delete spam from 2+ years ago.

As for an IRC channel, I have no access to the guy who owns this site, so I can't really contact him for a request.

[Gotharious]

then why don't we make it ourselves?
i can make an irc channel and post it's details here and members can join it
it won't be an official chat room for the forum, but it can be by the time we find a way to reach him.

[Gotharious]

well mate, that won't be a problem, we can make like a job for someone to give them the link to the thread in the forum if there is already one answering his question, if not then we will answer him and then make a thread about it.
i can reffer people with links to threads as i'm online most of the time and get another member to help me from another country so we cover the chat room 24/7.
i also can make a bot to auto send a link when somebody as a certain question if you know what i mean.

Well, if someone takes the initiative and makes an IRC channel, we can use it as our IRC channel until we get another official one (or even if we get one).

If someone is making an IRC, be sure to add vhosts. It helps to stop alot of newbie problems (aka someone WHOISing you and acting like a leet).

[Gotharious]

well allow me to to be that "Someone" who makes the IRC Channel, it won't take long with me as i've been using IRC for like 8 or * years now
any other requests in addition to vhosts?

[Gotharious]

i made an IRC channel on the web****** server with the name "all-net-tools"

here is the details to check it

Server: irc.web******.com
channel: #all-net-tools

[Moonbat]

Ah cool, I'll be on there whenever I'm online. BTW, how do you obtain a vhost on that network? Oh, and as for your question:

any other requests in addition to vhosts?

Maybe a simple bot that can give the time (GMT), do math, query Google, etc.

Maybe a nice little Operator status for me as well? :P

Hi, I'm pretty new to these sort of forums, but would like to be able to get on to this internet relay chat, stuff, I'm in the UK so don't really know who to speak to. How do you get on to the server to join the irc channel???
hope that this doesn't sound really thick......Is there anyone else out there that is in the same ***t as me??

We spam because people post dumb shit such as you did. Ask a retarded question, get a retarded answer such as porn.

You are wasting your damn time with irc, no one gives a shit.

Come now smartfool, lets be nice guys

@ken - You should get Firefox and download an extension called Chatzilla.

[Gotharious]

well it's not always the same with vhosts moon as it depends on the one you use.
a bot will be made soon enough so don't worry about that
about the operators of the chat it will be some of the moderators here including you and others will be decided with your help cause i don't really know them, but if the channel became official then it will be up to the owner to decide
and for you ken i will explain everything with a new post when i'm totally finished with the chat room

smart guy, i guess that's not the right way to stop it the dump questions, am i right?
you should better tell them that there is no way to do what they want so people won't ask it, but when u give them a fake link they won't stop asking
