What I have noticed Options

I noticed that a lot of people have been getting warning lately.

Even Kathleen and Steven have been warned

What do ya'll think about this?

I'd have to agree with Seon Ho on this. I can't count how many times we've had this conversation.

I really don't like how people view the mods as power-hungry or indecisive, when it's really very difficult to control the forums around here. What with all the people that try to make things difficult.

Mods are not all "AY! Ah am a mod, and YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!"

Sorry, I just had to urge to steal a catchphrase from Cartman.

By the way, forum rules, as far as I can remember, has not been updated in a while. I think the mods should get around the updating official stuff once in a while.

My definition of spam is:

• One or two random word posts (i.e., "lol, haha" in a Relationships topic)
• Stuff not pertaining to the topic (i.e., "South Park is the bestest show ever, no?" in a topic about, say, Myspace codes)
• Chatting --> Some should be tolerated, if it relates to the topic, but chatroom-like talking is just annoying and a waste of bandwidth. Use the chatroom. That's what it's there for.
• Blatant ignorance of forum/topic rules (i.e., in Member Photos there's a rule that you must thumb pictures that stretch out the forums, and if you keep doing it after you're warned, it should be considered spam, or warning-worthy)
• Copying and pasting stuff (i.e., in Introductions, copying and pasting "Welcome to cB, and enjoy your stay!" for each thread)
• Repetitive topics (Clubs topics. It's pretty obvious when they're serious clubs and when they're just spammy, chattering clique-y clubs)
• Random topics that no one will be able to reply to in a productive manner (I like Kristina's examples, they make sense to me)

The list, I'm sure, goes on.
