Stop Forum Abuse

Respect! You cannot honestly believe we think you are posting a link to your article for any reason other then views?

   In my years on the internet  I have noticed internet forum spam, ads no one wants to see or just annoying external links! Well, I was amazed to find it on the Triond forum! The only thing was it was all internal! A lot of the posts were, the title of an article, followed by “this is a good article you should read” etc. with a link! Common be more mature, chances are we have already read you article on how to optimize your Triond earnings, the forum is for Triond users to network not try to get more views! Posting an article link similar to that is just as bad as putting a link to a pornography site on any forum you can find! It is uncalled for and I will personally not view the authors work if they are attempting to abuse the forum! We got the forum to talk, we have other ways to promote out articles!

   As for other forum spam there is now a ridiculous amount of it! People signing up as “promoted videos”, “paid advertisements” etc. are super annoying and do nothing but spam! Now the forum is covered in whatever ad the person is making money off of and turning the forum into a pit of gross that no one wants to use! It also bothers me when you are talking about a good topic and someone posts an off topic link or advertisement and ruins the focus of the thread! The topic is entirely lost and one more point for the pathetic who forum spam!

   What ever happened to courtesy and common sense on the internet! Please don’t be one of those people that are pretending to be helpful but are really being selfish and annoying!
