===Make a "No Spam" Usertalk Page Policy=== | |||
<span style="color:green;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:150%">Make a No Spam Usertalk Page Policy 22-0</span> | |||
Recently, a bunch of friends of mine (you know who you are) placed a lot of images in my talk page. Though it was funny at first, it considerably stretched my userpage and extended it, so it gave me really bad loading times. Same goes for copying text from certain articles and placing them into my talk page, which also extends it until the loading server lags extensively just to load up my talk page in case it has new messages. | |||
What I'm proposing is a new policy to prevent "spamming" user talk pages with images or text (this also includes friendly encounters). "Spamming" the talk pages with a load of images and text not only gives it a big deal to load up a page and stretches it horizontally, it also gives users like me a hard time to navigate through them to find any new messages a user might put. Plus, we are forced to make another archive as soon as this occurs. I know I can just remove them myself, but it is much easier if the "spamming" is prevented in the first place. Any "spamming" of the past will be kept, but any future "spamming" will get immediately deleted in user talk pages. I do not think that spamming" improves talk pages in any way. Talk pages are supposed to be used for chatting with other users, rather than fill it up with useless content. It also makes it harder for the administration and others to work through the pages if they want to drop a comment or something. | |||
I'm also proposing this to be enforced, just in case it happens to any unwary user, ignorant user, or a user who just wants to play around with his/her friends. | |||

====Support==== | |||
#{{User|DaisyRox02}} - It was really annoying how you had to scroll to the side in order to read the messages and it did take more time to load with all that crap on it. | |||
#{{User|Fawfulfury65}} No more giant user talkpages. | |||
#{{User|Fuzzipede27}} When I look at my comment, it streched longer than my screen. | |||
#{{User|Baby Mario Bloops}} - I mean it looks nice at first, but then you scroll down forever! Per all. | |||
#{{User|Zero777}} I am Zero! I don't even need to read the proposal, spam on the talk page, no, support, per all. Zero signing out. | |||
#{{User|CosmicRedToad}} - When I first saw all that Wario Spam, I decided that the spamming users were "Wario Weirdos". I then tried to avoid their talkpages as much as possible; '''not''' because they love Wario, but because those giant talkpages are annoying nuisances. | |||
#{{User|T.c.w7468}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Sgt.Boo}} Yeah, everyone's completely right, and specifically Wario spam covers up talk pages. One or two images? Whatever. Enough to make the server lag and stretch a talk page? No. | |||
#{{User|Marioguy1}} - SPAM is defined as '''S'''tupid '''P'''ointless '''A'''nnoying '''M'''essages; what is going on the talk pages is stupid, pointless and annoying so I think it falls under that category. | |||
#{{User|Edofenrir}} - Per proposal. | |||
#{{User|Mr bones}} Goodbye spammed FF65 and BLOF's pages, good bye good old wario, good...ahem, per alll. | |||
#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} I have to say per all. Takes forever to load a talk page on my netbook and a while to load on my PC. Wonder what would happen if something like Walkazo's computer or a DSi had to load up a 60,000 bytes+ page. It probably would explode. It's not annoying (in the "spammers" perspective) because the people "spamming" the pages were doing this to each other for fun. Why would ANY computer would want to load a page full of disgusting Warios anyway? | |||
#{{User|Booderdash}} BLOF's talk page literally broke my cell phone. | |||
#{{User|Mechayoshi}} I agree. Not everyone uses high speed internet ya know! | |||
#{{User|Garlic Stapler}} Because spam is usually not good. | |||
#{{User|Frostyfireyoshi}} Imagine this scenario: You're going to reply to a friend's comment. You click the link to their talkpage that has a dubious fluorescent green background. For some reason it takes over 10 minutes to load. When it finally loads, you are confronted with literally '''thousands''' of giant Wario images repeated over and over and over... Eventually you scroll away from that hideous monstrosity into the comfort of your section. Oh dear, Wario spam has stretched the page all the way across the Atlantic. And then the damn advertisement to the right blocks the Edit tab. Then your computer promptly gives up and explodes before you can lose the will to live due to Wario spam. End Scenario. Per all. | |||
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Yup. Good idea - Per y'all (did I actually just say that?) | |||
#{{User|Beecanoe}} I don't get a whole lotta messages, but I don't want it to happen to me later. Ever. | |||
#{{User|Young Master Luma}}Yup, it gets annoying to try to read those pages. Per all, except Marioguy1. It originally came from a Monty Python sketch about spam, '''Sp'''iced h'''am'''. | |||
#{{User|Homestar Runner}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Smasher 101}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Cosmic Blue Toad}} <small>(''Ah, I finally received permission to create a new account, due to my lost password. I can vote again! This is just in time, too...'')</small> '''Oops!''' err...''ahem'': Per CosmicRedToad, Mr bones, Booderdash, Marioguy1, DaisyRox02, Zero777, Frostyfireyoshi, Beecanoe, Mechayoshi, Sgt. Boo, and ''especially'' CosmicRedToad. | |||
====Oppose==== | |||
====Comments==== | |||
Wouldn't it be much easier if you just added a rule about this in your talk page? {{User|LeftyGreenMario}} | |||
:Yes, that's better{{User|Mr bones}} | |||
:::I concur. {{User|Emperor Yoshi}} | |||
The problem is, people tend to ignore rules. I want to enforce that specific rule about spamming. Besides, when people do that anyway, it just takes up server stress and it's harder for other users to leave a message, or the owner of the talk page to find his/her message {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} | |||
:If people ignore your rules, then notify it in their talk page. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}} | |||
::No, I'm going to ENFORCE the rule, so it can be prevented. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} | |||
:::Aww you don't like my beautiful gifts of Wario? I can't oppose then. {{User|Fawfulfury65}} | |||
::::Yeah, I do like them, but after a while, I was forced to archive, and forced to view my talk page using "last change" instead of viewing it. It also caused a lot of hassle to load everything up. I do like it when you do that, but sometimes, fun does screw things up :( That's why I'm proposing this. Yes, I do regret it, but I'm doing it for what's good. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} | |||
IMO this classifies as common sense, do not spam. If people don't follow it, they should get warned. {{user|Tucayo}} | |||
:That's what I thought too, but some people also want to play around with their friends by adding a horrendous amount of pictures. This also causes server stress and huge loading times. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} | |||
::I do think that all those Wario pics were annoying(even though I pasted some on), but why would they be considered spam?{{User|DaisyRox02}} | |||
:::They're not spam as long someone who receives them likes them. I said "spamming", it's not actual spamming :D {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} | |||
