All these spam emails

Maybe all these people that insist on spamming the mails should lose playing rights for a day? I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of getting so many, when it was stated do not use that list of players.

I can only imagine the strain on the system from people like that.

anyone guilty of PM Abuse will be dealt with just like any other forum abuse, using CC's escalating system of punishment. The punishments are something like:

first time: warning
second: 1 day vacation
third: 3 day vacation
1 week vacation
3 month vacation
1 yr
1 yr
1 yr
1yr
.
.
.

if all of the infractions are minor. If anything you do is considered a "severe infraction", the mods can/will skip some of the levels or permaban you

PS- yes, I know my scale is off some, I don't know the exact amounts of time, but you get the picture

click on the "report button" on the spam messages you received... it is the upside down triangle with
the exclamation point inside of it... both andy and King have said this is the proper way to report spam
messages so they can see the original message and not a doctored message. it is still going on, it has not
stopped (2 mods saying stop doesn't end a problem that has been going on for quite some time), and i hope they begin to police this more... the black jesus has spoken...-the black jesus

Still going on? They must just be sending them to you now...I haven't seen any more since that second flurry of them quite some time ago.

This is a suggestion to change policy, not an abuse report against an individual/group of individuals. You should (probably) have moved it to archived rejected suggestions because CC already has a policy in place, but definitely not to C&A

well this has been closed all ready so does it matter where it goes?

Yes, actually, it would matter.

SHOULD it be closed without reviewing it as a suggestion? Probably not.

WILL it be reviewed as a SUGGESTION in C&A? Probably not.
