Rules Updated!; Very important, must read.

To combat the recent, totally out of control level of spam on the forums, the rules have been changed to fit the growing needs.

Here is the "Spam Zero Tolerance Policy"

Basically, if you make any post (One word, off topic, not adding to the discussion) that a moderator deems to be spam, he (or she) will warn you. If you receive three warnings your account will temporarily be suspended. Any more warning may result in a permanent ban, at the full discretion of the staff. While we realize that this will make it a little harder to be totally relaxed here, most of you have nothing to worry.

Post well

Try to use spelling and punctuation (properly...)

No double posting

No one word posts.

EDIT: Discretion, not digression. (Lol it makes a slight bit of difference in the meaning.)

This is the best solution. This should stop the spam, and if not then people will just get banned..

Well, in the five minutes that the first two "real" members were banned, everything seems better. I look forward to seeing who else vanishes.

I still think the Spam Petition will almost wipe out the spam.

Father-McMario,


We have already taken steps to get read of the spam, that thread serves almost no purpose anymore.

You know, when I delete your link the first time, re-posting about the thread may not be the brightest of ideas.

Yeah. I didn't know that those 3 were banned. So NOW it's pointless.

So, we cant double post? Then what if we have something to say and noone has posted? You might say "Edit you post" but no one is going to know anyone posted unless they scan through the topic. So what would I do then? Beg someone to post in it so that I can continue? I get the rest, but I am confused about double posting.

What you're complaining about is bumping. Bumping shouldn't be the reason you're posting, pure and simple.




To be, or not to be: that is the question. To die, to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause. That makes calamity of so long life, for who would bear the whips and scorns of time when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all...

Actually what I am saying is that if I want to post the next comic in my comic thread, and no one has posted after my last post, and I want people to know theres a new comic without having to open the topic and look all around. So if i edit my latest post, then no one will know because everyone usually just looks in topics if theres a new post. So what should i do so I can make another post? Because I dont really like editing when I have a totally different thing to post.

(NOTE: I am not complaining)

I believe we allow double-posting if it's a gallery like that.

Anything else, not really.
