Disemvoweling would be kind of cool.

[surskitty]

I think dealing with spam would be funnier if there was a policy that particularly stupid spam posts would be disemvoweled as well as infracted/banned over. It'd be kind of like Tachy, except with a clearer "don't do this" thing going on.


I'm bored.

'Disemvoweling' is a really amazing word.

The idea itself is okay; I wouldn't mind one way or another.

 

[Karkat Vantas]

i always liked disemvoweling. It seemed like a cool concept to me, since it requires little effort.

To those of you who aren't in the know: disemvoweling is when you remove all the vowels from a post.

Like this?

That was annoying to do, as well as to look at

The point's that it makes the person who originally posted look kind of dumb and you can still tell what they did. As it is, spam's either whacked for spam and left alone or someone bugs Butterfree into setting global-ignore on the spammer.

That sounds like fun!

I also like the idea of painting dumb posts with my rainbows, though I'm not sure if that'd just be fantastic or if people would also go crazy.

how did you do that

i demand to know how you did that

 

[departuresong]

So I would just casually be reading a thread and then suddenly a completely illegible post pops up (or multiple, even)?

You could play Hangman without knowing how many letters are in a word!!

Very challenging.

I really don't see the point of this. Are spammers supposed to magically repent if they happen to look at their post again and find that oh, no, it's become hard to read! My, that's an incentive to stop spamming, unlike the threat of being banned from the forums and all that.

My general impression is people who don't mean to spam would respond no better to this than to an actual infraction, and Tachy is specifically for people who want to spam everything up and won't stop; I don't think they're going to shy away in embarrassment the moment they see their posts have no vowels in them.

Doesn't it?

If that happened, I'd have to find closed-minded asswipes again.

Best game. Best.

So true! Except I think I would work better as VP. Then I could tell people to stfu.

The threat of being banned isn't really a threat :( It's very sad.

The point's that disemvoweled posts are kind of funny, I was bored, and it's possibly better than people reporting the same post for spam over and over. Or people not reporting things at all. (COME ON GUYS FIVE BILLION REPORTS IS BETTER /o\)

 

[Steel Scyther]

Guys, even if you can't justify it, do it for the humour value.

 

[Diz]

If you do anything to spam for it's humor value, I definitely think it should be the rainbows
