STOP SPAMMING!

rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:16 PM I'm so sick of people spamming... There seems to be a specific few who do it regularly. Number one, its annoying. Next person to spam me is going to get some not-so-nice spam in his box. The only people that should be asking me for comments are the people that have left comments or who have become somewhat friends with here on DM. Number two, how bout some of you out there go for quality instead of quantity. Apparently from all the spamming from some of you, you have somewhat of a problem getting people to listen to your shit. Well maybe that's because your trying to pump shit out. How bout instead of 143 mediocre beats/rifts you have 10 really good ones. Then maybe i'd visit your dumb page. And if your stuff is all that then why spam my page. Losers. Now I've asked for comments before. But only from people whose musical opinion matters to me. I don't get "off" on how many comments I get. Get a life. I'm fighting back. If DMusic won't stop it well... I'll fight back with my own spam. Who's with me.
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:18 PM There's no difference between spamming, telemarketing calls, and junk mail. Its just that. JUNK
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:19 PM difference #1: the way of doing it
shadowself	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:19 PM Just block the people who spam you - that what I have been doing. I don't mind posts in my shoutbox letting me know about new music from people I have expressed interest in, but when I get a ton of "yo nigga check dis new rap tune", it's blocking time.
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:44 PM how u gon complain about ppl not leavin u comments, when u dont leave them comments, seems a lil hypocritcal 2 me...
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 1:56 PM not at all. I've never asked someone to comment, without me commenting first. NEVER. I'm not complaining about people not leaving me comments. Are you for real? Never did I say that. Hey brah where are you reading that?! And yes I would block them, but that puts me on the defensive, where I don't like to be. So...
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:08 PM "The only people that should be asking me for comments are the people that have left comments" ...y does it have 2 be that sum1 else has 2 leave a comment 1st? if i drop u a shout askin u 2 check out a new song, its cuz i want ur opinion. if i see that u leave a comment, i'll check sum of ur stuff out. n btw, if u dont tell ppl that u have a new track up, how do u expect them 2 kno 2 go n listen 2 it n leave a comment?
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:18 PM yes, don't ask me for comments unless you bother to leave them too. I follow that rule, and everyone else should too. And I didn't say it has to happen first. Sometimes, I'm the first to leave a comment. Sometimes the reverse. If you drop me a shout you better have listened to my stuff, and I better not see your spam asking for comments on 32 other people's shout boxes. "n btw, if u dont tell ppl that u have a new track up, how do u expect them 2 kno 2 go n listen 2 it n leave a comment?" Ok, well.. where to start. How bout people liking your stuff so much that they ASK you to let them know when something new is out. Or perhaps wait for them to happen upon it. I regularly check out a few to see if anything new is up. If your really that popular on here then you wouldn't have to ask people to "please come listen to my stuff". Comon man. If everyone did that, then this place would be horrible.
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:28 PM so what ur sayin is.... never ask any1 2 listen 2 ur music, unless they are ur friends. never listen 2 any1 else's music, unless they have listend 2 urs. dont ever step outside ur circle 2 find sumthin NEW. ....btw, b4 u knew ppl on here, how did u get them 2 listen 2 ur stuff, my guess is u probably asked them 2, but now ur sayin not 2 do that very thing.
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:30 PM also, just cuz ur popular on here, doesnt mean ppl r gonna sit on ur site n wait 4 a new track. there's ppl on here that i talk 2 every single day, but when they have sumthin new up, i still expect them 2 let me kno. ppl dont babysit pages dogg. thats just rediculous.
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:39 PM ok well i COULD sit here all day and listen to you contort my words, and defend spamming. You're a spammer aren't ya. Sometimes I'll just go listen to people that I've never heard before and leave comments. Usually I won't ask for a comment back, its never expected. If someone leaves a comment on my page, out of curtesy i'll do the same. And when I was new here I got people to listen to my stuff by being part of the community, and by leaving comments on others pages. Contort my words... you should run for senate. Ask someone to listen to your stuff but if you cut and paste my box its war.
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:11 PM i believe in asking people for comments.. but i dont like just being another lackey to do it.. i like if its personalized
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:17 PM someone like me whos listened and commented on approximately 652 song minus a few if it was another on the same one.. and ive only been here 4 months i beleive i have a right to 1 or 2 song release spams for a community favour!
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:52 PM just don't send a mass mailing type comment on my shoutbox and I would listen. All I"m saying its that it is annoying. That's all.
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:53 PM and not everyone does it. And people still get comments, so its not necessary to mass shout to 195 people.
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 4:00 PM i love you rico
aflunky	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 4:33 PM Spam them back
hantu	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 4:33 PM Hahahahha! this thread is too funny... but very true... and snowman, i must say you haven't been making much sense. its simple really: You come to DM You register You stay active in the forums and stuff You upload ur track, and if you really wanna advertise, there is a promo forum for that You listen and comment on what you can of other peoples music, and if you are actually into music and are interested in the community and learning new sounds and techniques you will find it a pleasure to go round listening to peoples songs. "145 mediocre" & "195" ... i love how the example wasn't like 2-300... all specific numbers ... found that extremely ammusing for some reason... i think i should have a nap maybe
shadowself	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 4:58 PM I agree with Sham with all points above. Also, ff you use CTRL-V when making a shout, you're spamming. It shows that you don't want that specific person to hear your song because he/she may like it, it's likely because the person you are spamming is popular and you're essentially just putting an ad in a high-traffic area. There is one particular genre of music whose artists spam on a regular basis. And it's not polka. I find it odd that it is confined to a single genre for the most part.
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 4:59 PM its snoman dawg read like my name Is K3VIN not k3vin caps show respect K3vin is not respect XD
rico	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 5:56 PM i have also noticed that shadowself. Don't know why, but it seems that you're right.
mattbanx	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 7:24 PM Just another side to this. I think out of natural curiosity people are going tho click on the link to wherever your post might be in the forum and listen. Some do comment. I don't have a lot of them, but I never had to ask. Sometimes I don't feel qualified to review someone that reviewed me out of not understanding that kind of music. But I always make it a rule to thank them. Common courtesy and not bugging the hell out of people will do more in the long run than spam. Spam is one of the single most complaints and things go a lot easier where it is kept to a minimum.
shadowself	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 7:46 PM I work at an ISP - I have a special kinda hate for spam.
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:21 PM in my expierience, the promo forum doesnt do much, cuz every 7 seconds, sum1 new posts a new thread. n when ppl leave a comment, i do personally thank them 4 their time n honesty. 2 me, this site is about sharing ur music w/ others, if sum1 leaves me a shout askin me 2 listen 2 their music, i see it as an invitation 2 experience sumthin new. basically, when i drop a shout lettin ppl kno i have sumthin new up, its 2 let them kno that their opinion matters 2 me. i want the best possible pallet of criticism i can get. thats y it happens like that. btw, rappers r NOT the only ppl who promote massively(i refuse 2 call it spam), just a thought.
hantu	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:23 PM I have cheese stuck in my right ear... anyone had this problem before? any suggestions?
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:27 PM dont put the cheese there next time
DamnedInEter...	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:29 PM http://www.die.dmusic.com does this count as ? just curious cause we have a new song up...oh wait does that count as ???
orgasmotron	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 12:17 AM 3 new tracks up. check 'em out. do it. spam is good. spam is your friend. without spam, i wouldn't know that I can get my windows repaired instead of replaced for half the price!
MickeyBreezy	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 12:42 AM whenever u watch t.v., u have 2 deal w/ spam like every 10mins. just learn 2 live w/ it.
LcParadox	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 2:56 AM Yo what up, I posted some new ! Check it out and tell me what u think! I guess i will here! Beside my music isnt music man it is Art!
psypig	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:51 AM "btw, rappers r NOT the only ppl who promote massively(i refuse 2 call it spam), just a thought." None of them mentioned rappers. If this was a legal trial you've just put yourself behind bars! I like spam. Fried. In a sandwich. But not the annoying electronic junk mail kind.

K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 3:23 PM shadowself tends to try and insult rap culture alot.. it was probably impulse by snoman
pog	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:17 PM Spam that arrives in your e-mail's is an automated program. Very little time and energy goes into making such a thing, and it only serves to clog up the internet's pipelines. The people that are coming to your shoutbox are humans. Yes, they may be using the copy paste command to spread the word about the fact that they are proud of themselves for releasing a new song, but essentially, they are still human's coming to your shoutbox. Instead of having a big public outcry about this, wouldn't it make more sense to tell the artist that you aren't really into their style of music? The fact is you are a member of a community... do you verbally bash the young lad that hands out pizza fliers to make a little extra pocket money? I think not... Maybe you could even have a listen to the person's song that they're promoting supposing heaven forbid, you get something out of it. Now go and listen to some real talent by wing, and as sinai said... stop yer whining. http://www.wingmusic.co.nz/listen.html

K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:30 PM ^pog.. u said what i was trying too.. cept i like my messages a little more personal
pog	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:36 PM
rico	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:49 PM There is no difference between junk mail and spammin my box. do it and it means war. I don't care to hear you rationlize or justify it. I DON"T CARE. And its not about not being into that type of music, as I'm into all types of music. Its about being bothered and annoyed which alot of peole are. Are we gonna need a do not spam list much like the do not call list? Comon this is stupid. How many times has marc salmon had to spam to get people to his page? NONE. Yes he is popular. And how many times has washburnbeginner had to spam to get people to his page? NONE And he's the exact opposite. so how dare you try to justify everyone in-between doing it. You spammers are prob the one's that think the most played list really means something... lol
rico	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:51 PM "stop yer whining" last time i checked this was the complaint forum and I'll stop my "whining" when the spam stops.
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:59 PM I must admit my guilt here - I have spammed people with Washburnbeginner.
rico	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 7:46 PM lol
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:00 PM im usre if those copy and paste spammers/self-promo to the extreme people... had a prog that would automatically shout everyone their ad, they would jump to it... no? and don't try and deny it... that would just be dumb. And btw i didn't put the cheese in my ear... it just ended up there some how
K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:13 PM oo teh agony quit crying
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:34 PM But its rite in there... and it itches .. o wait was you talking about that other subject in this thread
