Alright this is getting out of hand.

The amount of spam in here is getting ridiculous. Any more excessive spamming and warnings/suspensions will be given.

b4 u go take drastic actions like banning etc etc ..
we are not trying to be funny with u .. but check your mod .. issit absolutely necessary to stick 100% to topic ???
look at it from our point of view .. this is a fishing thread .. besides fishing .. we oso tok nonsense @ tok kok alot of the time .. this is part and parcel of fishing
just like i mentioned earlier .. a kopitiam is for drinking kopi .. so can only tok about coffee ??
if u think strictly sticking to topic is a MUST then u better check all other threads besides this one .. i doubt u can find many (if any) that does not have off topic (tok kok) ...

If you didn't even bother to read the pinned thread on the R&R of this subforum AND the bolded announcement thread at the top of the page, then I dont even have to answer your question.

Of course, it is not possible to be completely spam free. But as much as possible, the central discussion should focus on your topic.

What kkho99 did was plain disrespectful, since VincC454 very clearly said to cut down on the spam earlier. In other words, he was asking for it.

MR MOD, i think it's a bit harsh to do this on Mr KKho, before you come in and "sapu" spam here please do check out other thread in this Hobbies, Collectibles and Model Kits section, there were spammer which is far more worst then us here. what about transformer thread ? and the kopitiam thread ?

If you have not realised, the spam in the TF thread has cut down greatly (kudos to the people there).

And as for the Kopitiam thread...you haven't read the rules have you?

Hello, I've been reading the postings for the last few pages and as you can see I don't post too often. But I think this is a bit too much... we have been really nice and decided to go another place to continue our "discussions" since the moderator here was not too happy when we are talking about off topic stuff..  hence Qiw created a new forum for us to do so, and informed us of the new forum address so that the other people would know where to go to... but I just noticed that even that post was deleted.... how are the friends and fishing buddies going to know where to go to in order to look for us?...  which forces me to post this:

Mr Mod: I know it is very important to keep spam away from this forum, and I'm not trying to make your job difficult here, just want to see if we can make this work for everyone...and  first let me clear some misunderstanding to the term "spam"

according to dictionary.com the definition is : Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail

it states, "unsolicited" which means that the message is not intended to the readers or receiver. Correct me if I'm wrong, but almost all the post I see here are intended for someone (who reads this forum).

Everyone hates spam, myself included (of course). Nobody likes people that starts selling stuff and posting multiple post that is not intended for anyone here, if anyone here starts doing that by all means ban them( we'll thank you for it as well). But I really don't see any spam happening here.

So, being the understanding person that you are, I sincerely hope you listen to our concern and please understand that fishing is about making friends and sharing our passion (which comes with the occasional "talk kok")
*
You said it yourself, "occasional" talk kok. I dont have a problem with that. But when this thread starts turning into a Kopitiam section style thread with almost EVERY post becoming unconstructive and not contributing to the topic, that's where it has got to stop. And in case you missed it, check out what spamming is defined as in the forum R&R here.

You guys are pissed because someone comes to "disturb the water", so to speak. But hey, my job as a moderator is to ensure that the topics are within bounds. Think of it this way, when some first timer comes here and stumbles upon the fishing thread, it wouldn't be nice if all he/she reads is people spamming away. Go check out the other popular threads and see how the discussions are carried out. Everyone stays in topic. And in case some of you go "Oh but this mod dont take action in XXX thread one, he's the regular there" or something of that sort...hey go ahead and ask around (dont take my word for it!). Doesn't matter which thread it is, where there's excessive spamming, that's where we act.

And oh, since we're at it...please stop with the ad hominem comebacks (this one's directed to everyone), cause I've seen it before, and it's lame.

I dont really care if you guys want to shift forums. If people can't adhere to the rules, then perhaps that's in the best interest of all.

And fookie, consider this your last warning. I've been patiently removing your offtopic posts without taking any further action, so dont push your luck.

An additional note to mod: sometimes we use some jargons (that is related to fishing stuff/gears) that you might not recognize but doesn't mean we are off topic:

here are just some common example:
Abu ( Abu Garcia - brand of fishing gear)
Diewa (brand of fishing gear)
Shakespear (brand of fishing gear)
powerpro (brand of fishing gear)
Fuji (brand of fishing gear)
Storm(brand of fishing gear)
LC- LuckyCraft (brand of fishing gear)
saltiga (particular model of fishing gear)
stella (particular model of fishing gear)
Sustain (particular model of fishing gear)
STX (particular model of fishing gear)
EA - extreme anglers (tackle shop)
thomas stroker (very famous customed rod)
EVA (material use to built fishing rod handles)
GT (nothing to do with cars, it actually stands for: Giant Trevally - type of fish)
walk-the-dog (a type of fishing method)
popping (a type of fishing method)
jigging (a type of fishing method)
BC - baitcaster (type of fishing reel)
CBH - cha bee hoon (means the lines go tangled like birdnests, usually happen when using BC)
knn bread (Gardenia bread - use as fishing bait, especially effective for a few fishing payponds)

That's all I can think off at the moment, maybe the rest would like to add more?
