Replies to post #182041 on The Question and Answer Board (IHUB)

[lucky, mydog]

the following warning has been used in the past. not so much anymore.

This board has been disqualified from Hot Lists for 24 hours due to a User manipulating most read stats in order to get the board listed on the home page of iHub.

People always ask "why does the whole board get punished? why not just the person who did this?". It's because once the data is stored, there is no way to back it out. It's not fair to the thousands of other boards where the statistics were not manipulated to allow the tainted board to remain.

The User has been booted from the site for this.

Any questions not covered above, please send a private message to iHAdmin.

Yes, it is "spammy", but allowed (unfortunately). It's a type of board manipulation, but I can see how it would be hard to enforce.

...but to repeatedly regurgitate the same information daily in the form of multiple consecutive posts seems "spammy" to me...
