WTF is wrong with Arina?

I need you to really put your thought into this.

Arina is spamming too much. She just puts countless oaidjgopsuidhgi ushfigjn posts onto every thread she can find. She's already reached over 400 comments. And what, she's only been in the JA for a week or so?

Is she trying to win the spamming award?
Or is she trying to have people think that she's an oldbie because she'd have such a ridiculously high comment number? HELLO! Have you ever heard of the Profile ID Number, Arina?

I say there should be a consequence. Check every page. It is not funny.

I didn't say her behavior was not to be frowned upon. I just think this thread is a little over the top.

Javaguy here would be your evidence for her behavior to be frowned upon http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=573 When the crazy stuff forum was created spam was not the goal of it.

I think the poll choices are strongly biased to skew the results into pushing an agenda, rather than solicit honest input.

I think a warning is, initially, more than sufficient. If that doesn't work, _then_ I'd want to see something stronger.

Remember, this is an area about which the Academy rules are silent. Aruably it falls under the very important but unavoidably nebulous heading of the Respect Rule. Yet at the same time, this _is_ the Crazy Stuff forum, and I didn't see anything at all in the rules about what kind of posts people are allowed to make here (look at the Sweet It's Up thread).

I think one could make an equally good argument that the Respect Rule guarantees Arina a fair amount of leeway in what she posts, especially in Crazy Stuff. Since no one is acusing her of posting racist or other patently offensive material, it seems to me that her actions are, while annoying, a very minor misdemeanor offense (if she were to get an Official Knock-That-Off and continue to do it, then that would certainly rise to the level of a Serious Big Hairy Deal).

If ever I saw a gross violation of the Respect Rule, it's in the creation of a thread called "WTF is wrong with Arina?" This is not the way to handle this.

The disrespect is compounded by the fact that the only poll answer (other than "other";) that didn't involve immediate punishment without any warning is qualified by "fair enough, yet not enough," so that anyone who feels that a simple warning is enough has those words pasted right next to his answer if he votes for warning only. (For that reason I voted for "other.";)

I'd really like to hear what Arina has to say on this matter.

Look at my wookie!

Hmmm...true. I hope for her sake though, she finds something better to do than just spam the forums. Has she ever been on the servers?

He might be a spammer but he didn't do THAT (make several posts in a row and making them 'gflkjgeoafdg')...

Let's not forget TiTo, eventhough he hasn't been around here for a while. Unless he's turned into someone else.....hmmmmm.....

Seriously though, she should just find something to do instead of spamming here. I don't think she should get booted or anything, but that mud-wrestling idea sounds good!

Step right up! Today's matchup:

Arina vs. Lian in a no holds barred Mud-Wrestling Smack-Down!!! Get your tickets while they're hot! Only $5, $7.50 at the door!

I really don't think you should be making a post like the Lian. I wish I knew where one of the original posts in the crazy forum was that told people that just because it was the crazy stuff forum didn't mean for you to constantly spam a bunch of nonsense or have long words of a single letter repeated.

You shouldn't have made a post in the Academy discussion linking to this thread. Should you get in trouble for that too?
