    This means we have to start being less easy-going.

    I'm posting this to help you not get muted, infracted, suspended, or even permanently banned.

    Try not to do the following: (RED means avoid at all costs because it's a very common mistake.)

    -1-3 word posts I see these the most. We can infract you for each one of these. This is ONLY allowed in the introduction/goodbye section of the forum.
    -Double posting
    -Triple posting
    -Off-topic posts
    -Arguing with members or staff*See post #10 in this thread for more details.
    -Flaming
    -Useless threads
    -Porn in the chatbox
    -Making multiple accounts or sharing accounts

    This is your warning card. Mods will not be so chill when it comes to these offenses anymore. But it's okay because if you've read this thread, you know what to avoid.

    Apologies in advanced if you take any offense to this, but things need to improve.

    As far as I know these rules never changed, and after a search I found little about conducting yourself on the forums.
    Everyone, Including me, have been in violation of the rules and as of late the enforcement of said rules seem rather lax.

    There are sections for spam, off-topic and the like. However threads with people asking legitimate questions and asking for help do not need to be trolled or spammed with off topic nonsense. These posts should be kept to the spam sections.

    Those sections are there for that reason. To keep things in line. However the line has been fudged and most people violating the rules seem to be let go.

    Can we go back to the old days where I can actually read posts in a topic in order to understand whats going on, without having to go and skip literally PAGES of spam about pictures of trolls or the like?

    I'm pushing for some reform and more enforcement of rules on the forums.

    Please keep the topic serious. I will request that Mods keep this thread clear of spam so we can have a legitimate discussion about this. It needs to be addressed.


    If you look in that thread I was arguing against such strict ruling, I am still against that. But we still need SOME rules, and all of them seem to have go to the wayside.
    I still stand for what I said in that thread, 3 word limits seem strict as long as they have something useful to say.
