What if the rules was like this

I found these rules on another forum. A boring one, I must say.

I think we need to be a little more clear about the subject of spam in light of some recent threads and posts.

Spam posts are generally posts which add nothing to the thread. If your post doesn't actually defend a viewpoint, introduce something new to the thread, or otherwise enrichen it, it's spamming.

"I agree" "I don't" and other monotone-posts are popular types of spamming. Sometimes these posts are designed purely to increase their post count on the forum.

Also, making threads tackling controversial subjects without adding your own opinion could be considered spamming (in some cases it could be considered trolling).

To make a point, users should try to make your posts have some content. Note that content doesn't mean length. A short, 3 sentence post might have more content than a 3 paragraph one. If you agree or disagree with something, then state why.

What counts as spam? *Posting a one line sentence that do not add to the topic at all. *Posting off topic *Posting a new topic that encourages spamming (such as "Do you like cheese? Yes or no?" type thread). *Writing "LOL" and ending the post. *Anything that does not CONTRIBUTE to a topic/thread is considered spam.

Why is spam such a problem? Spam can be like a disease on a message board. Not only does it degrade the overall quality of the boards but it also takes up more webspace. The more webspace spam takes up, the less webspace we have to use for other constructive things. Spam can also make reading of topics confusing, and discourages people from reading an interesting post.

The Dialogue was designed to filter out a lot of trivial posts and themes so the rules there will be a lot looser, but I think we'll need to tighten them up on the rest of the forums.

I concur.

Derp.

Was it the DARKSIDE WIM ?

LOL :dead:

I've seen those rules before. It's all up to moderators really. Our moderators are nice except for Jeff. He can be such a twat sometimes   (KIDDING!)

People still like OMD?

I like their first albums. Found "the best of" on Soulseek yesterday. Played it, liked some of the old tunes. Found their website, and was curious about their forum.

That's all. Please forgive me.

I'm activated now, but need some sleep.

So, good night one and all, andlet's have some fun in the OMD forum tomorrow

Night Rian!

Nice idea what you guys have got going on, on another board that I frequent we call it a "canned food drive" i.e. leaving donations at a place that is sure to appreciate them.   I got banned from a Christian music board by posting, in a "what are you listening to?" thread, that I was digging Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy.  Couldn't figure out why, thought most of the really conservative ones were into that stuff...

If you ask a question, you're gonna get answers...

Bloody funny that one GREEN!

But we are going to write so much shit there, so we all be banned for life.

It'll be fun. Sure it will

But I need some help. HAve posted twice just to see how they are. Dirty posts will come
