I just said the analogy because I misinterpreted what you meant. I thought you meant "it won't get rid of spam, so what's the point?", rather than "it won't lessn spam, so what's the point?". For the former, analogy holds, for the latter, it fails.
It's like this, if a mod/admin is not criticized, they're not a good mod/admin. Usually, that criticism is not constructive, and the one in charge needs a really thick skin to take it. Not just normal thick skin which is needed for any internet stuff, I mean, well, you know. This thread basically means "ok, you can spam if you want to, but don't blame me if I infract you somewhere else, because I gave you a chance".
It will not get rid of spam, or even reduce it. I agree, total spam will increase. I know I'll be spamming, when before I tried not to spam, but I'll do it in this thread. I like to spam. I like the place to spam with no consequences. <3
I'm still <3 <3 over my build.
