This may seem obnoxious, but just to clear things up, Spamming IS random posts.

Subject: Re: Rules Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:45 pm

spamming can be posting the same thing over and over
random posts can not

Just saying, you admins/mods BETTER follow your own rules.

Subject: Re: Rules Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:53 pm

Subject: Re: Rules Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:54 pm

No, seriously: I've left 2 indie forums like this one 'cause the admins thought they could break there own rules.

Subject: Re: Rules Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:58 pm

I don't think no flaming should be allowed, its pretty hard to be nice to someone who has bad manners or is rude (which doesn't count as flaming)

Subject: Re: Rules Mon Jul 16, 2007 10:00 am

Change no flaming to no trolling. Wink

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:22 am

flaming is different than trolling, though. trolling is flaming all the time, while flaming may happen just once.

Subject: Re: Rules Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:42 am

Yes, that was the point? Why would I make a point out of changing the wording of the rule so it means exactly the same thing?

"Yeah, mate, you might want to change 'no random posts' to 'no meaningless posts'."

There's just no point.

The reason for changing flaming to trolling is that trolling is insulting people for the direct cause of trying to get a reaction. This is obviously intentional and therefore an offence. However, flaming includes someone saying "You pillock" when someone just said Diglett can beat a Mewtwo for example. A small insult that no one would take offence to, and yet that would technically be a banable offence by putting "no flaming".

Subject: Re: Rules Sun Aug 05, 2007 7:08 am

Subject: Re: Rules Sun Aug 05, 2007 12:25 pm

That's not exactly a new rule. Razz

They've been clear about it in the past.

Subject: Re: Rules Sun Aug 05, 2007 6:54 pm
