Vulptex has decided not to enforce bans on the spam accounts, but he will still ban me for rule violations. This is unacceptable selective enforcement of the rules

I don't ban the spam accounts either, it's pointless and it takes a lot longer than just clicking the spam button to remove them. There are hundreds of these accounts and they just make new ones. Vulptex and I and the other content admins are volunteers, we do it for free. We aren't always on to remove the spam immediately (the bulk of it comes in around 1-3am my time). User reports do help though, so thank you for those who report them.

Its a bit demoralizing to see a wall of 100 spam posts and realize that the accounts arent even being banned, yet a quick test of the rule violation response on an alt results in an immediate ban. Does not leave me with a good feeling about this place

I understand where you're coming from, but ultimately they're different beasts. 20 posts about bone conducting headphones is annoying but it isn't going to get saidit taken down. Posting something graphic or inciteful might. I don't know the details of the current hosting arrangement but I know saidit has had issues with that in the past.

If you posted your rule violation test at 2am like the spam bots do it would probably stay up longer.

Also, are you implying that if I create 100 bot accounts that post just 1 porn each, ala the bone conduction guy, that you will give me a pass and not ban me because its too much work? How would you feel about me testing this out?
