Chain-comments.

Occasionally while browsing sites such as YouTube and other websites where you can post comments, you'll see something like this:
-THIS IS REAL. DON'T READ THIS, IT REALLY WORKS! IF YOU POST THIS COMMENT ON 4 OTHER VIDEOS, YOU WILL GET $500 NEXT FRIDAY. IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL DIE NEXT FRIDAY.

But as cruel fate would have it, these types of annoying spam chain-comments have begun showing up in scratch. I thought I was safe from all of that garbage on Scratch- is nothing Sacred? Honestly, can you look me right in the eyes and tell me you truley believe in those things? They don't work. If you see one, ignore it. Don't re-post it. Because they are very annoying.

So please, again, don't foward spam Chain-Comments.

Re: Chain-comments.

Yeah... they're really annoying. Just ignore them and delete them if you can.


I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Yeah - I get pretty sick of that too. It'd be great if people didn't bring it here.

Re: Chain-comments.

My tip: report the comments if you see them.

Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

Re: Chain-comments.

Yeah, I know. Yesterday I was looking at a featured project, and there it was, in the comments section. I thought scratch was too good a communty for that sort of thing.

Re: Chain-comments.

I haven't seen any in a while, but when I do I flag them.

And, for some reason, they usually leave the word "video" instead of replacing it with "project".

And I just whacked my hand on the desk (Owwwww!)
