Has anyone else noticed that Eug is spamming the forum with nice sucess posts (or to the same meaning)
Should her posts be deleted? She's brought up old posts in the IP forum, posted Congrat posts in Feedback, Via Venue and SFM as well

If they are indeed spamming the same message in several feedback threads, give them a warning.

I thought of that but I don't believe they know that they are doing it.

[agree]
I think in eug's case this has really begun
after he joined as a Junior Moderator, so I think he's more trying to boost his post count and appear more active in the forums. However, eug's posts at the moment do not demonstrate a future Moderator
. But, it's early days ...

Her spamming is driving me mad
Seeing old topics from last month brought up again in nearly every forum and replying to every feedback post is quite annoying

I've noticed that eug is posting a lot of unneccessary posts, and most (if not, then almost all) aren't very helpful at all.
Since eug is also from Melbourne, I've noticed today eug has posted 69 posts from 10:47am - 7:54pm. That is a lot for someone to post in a day on this board, considering some members don't even post that much in a month (well I can understand if eug was home all day, considering the weather was 41ºC today
).
As I mentioned earlier, this has only really begun
after eug has become a Junior Moderator, so I think it's a matter of appearing as an active member of the forums rather than spamming (but eug doesn't realise it).
It's starting to annoy me a bit, especially seeing some posts that have no importance at all in some threads.

I just logged on to check the latest on here and she has posted in almost 3 pages!! I think someone needs to send her a polite PM

I sent eug a PM. I kind of feel I was a bit harsh
:
Hey eug
I'm really glad you are enjoying using Fanmail.biz but the moderators have noticed you are posting on MANY different topics that were written months ago and you are reposting on them. Not that this is at all wrong but you seem to be doing it in alot of topics (this is called spamming).
We've realised that you also respond to 80% of the feedback topics posted when they are submitted. If you continue to do so, you could well be warned. I understand that it seems harmless but we like to keep the forum tidy and not every member responds to nearly every topic posted
We appreciate you have recently become a Junior Moderator but please do not feel it is your duty to post every minute. A Junior Moderator's duty is to help out alot. From your many posts, hardly any have shown helpfulness.
Spamming is when a member posts almost the same sentence on every topic posted and also brings topics created months ago, back up. If you could please refrain from doing so, it would really be appreciated.
I hope this is fair and feel free to contact me any time.
