    Every time somebody spams there has to be bunch of people after them to tell them to stop spamming. I think this is silly because the chat is getting even more spammed by all these people telling them not to spam. I think only certain appointed people should tell not to spam because it makes no sense for everybody to being saying the same thing. Or it would be cool if there was an automated message to pop up on the spammers chat telling them not to spam.

    I snapped a picture for an example that just happened a little while ago. I covered the names because I don't want to throw anyone under the bus but anyone in the picture killer said happy new years with a bunch of letters. But the four people telling him not to spam was more of a spam than what he said originally. I know this isn't a very big deal but it happens a lot and I think its unnecessary.

    Well I know, but that pictures is all Moderators, so we're appointed to act upon spam, although we all act upon it, which is not really a bad thing, thus it stoped the user, it's diffirent if we started saying "Spam spam spam spam" All of us over 30 times lol, that would be a problem, but this is comman, we all said it at around the same time, we tend not to repeat if a other Moderator already says it, but it can still happen.

    I know it was all moderators and I understand that it's their job and they all posted around the same time but the picture is just an example of what I'm talking about

    This goes for everything. A user says something bad, people say, "BAN HIM!" Someone starts harassing, or makes a false bid, "BAN HIM!" or "KICK HIM!" Spam, and people do the same. Someone swears, people say, "watch the language..."

    All we can really do is let people know not to do that. It should be common sense. :/ Staff know what their job is and what punishment is right - People really don't need to tell us or hint at what we should do. Though, if they give a friendly reminder or nudge to the user who broke a rule, that's fine. But they need to do it politely and not in a mini-mod or annoyed way.
