Also, and I know every SYM member is guilt of it, is the simily posts. This is something should no longer be done, though it has decreased significantly.

On the other hand, I've twice observed over the last four days several people spamming up the Updated Anatomy of GameBanshee Members, which is clearly marked "no spam." It seems people can't resist adding comments to that thread, though they could just as easily send PMs or start new topics, if they so wished.

I'd like to apologise about that, it was my fault for starting the discussion about football and I take the blame for it. I agree completely with what the moderators are saying and I think it's important for us to realise that a no-spam thread, means no spam.

@Nippy, apologies aren't needed, which is why I didn't mention any names, above.

I was just trying to indicate that even if we use NO SPAM in a thread's title, good forum posters will from time to time forget this, and spam anyway. That's one reason (of several) why moderators serve a function on the board.

The herders will reign in the sheep! It must be difficult to moderate this sort of forum, after all, you even have to stop your own forum moderators!

Seriously though, thanks for the work you do.

@Aegis what's a simily post? Do you mean Smiley post? in that case yes those are dispiccable...however I refute allegations that ALL SYMers have made them.
or do you actually mean simile posts? in which case I think fable should be stripped of his mod status immediately. His soaring flights of oratorial virtuosity are inexcusable. Maharlika is also prone to lapsing into flowery prose once in a while.

I've added the moderators request on polls to the rules.

you know, i may just have to pull a morlock here and say that perhaps this should be unstickied. i mean, really it's just a lot of spam and doesn't really give any information about the rules or anything else. if you want a thread about what not to do just make "counting with aegis" a sticky, i'm sure that would be more effective.

It may spam up, but you don't need to read it all to pose a question. If the mods are prepared to wade through the spam to find the questions, then surely this is up to them

Basically the reason this thread is around is to provide a place for people to ask questions or offer suggestions on the existing rules. The actual rules thread is a closed topic so if someone wants to comment in it they can't.
@ Ar..this is not the rules thread its a comment thread. Any changes that are implemented go into the Rules thread.

To Mr Sleep

I want you to know that I am sorry for posting stuff about Mp3s

and breaking rule 2.

. However, the good news is that I will copy the Gamebanshee rules and regulations and enlarge it to A3 and pin it up on my wall.

Know that I only just turned 15, am a hard working student in Australia, only in High School year 9. Am the Dux of year 7 and 8 and planning to kick some butt this year. I really didn't mean to post about mp3s.

and break a rule.

@Willa-Given that you don't do it again that shouldn't be a problem. There's no shame in making mistakes, it's not learning from them that's the problem.
