Okay, I never thought I'd have to do something like this, but I guess I do. Pay attention, and I'll keep it short:

This Forum Is Not Your Personal Testing Ground For BBCode

I'm getting sick of people mucking around in here to see if their image hotlink will work, or if their HTML code will work on these forums. If you want to test your code, hit Preview, don't spam this forum.

I'm going to delete all this nonsense, and send an official spam warning to people who do this.

Did I miss something or did you delete all the threads that did that?

He just said that he'd delete it.

You mean people don't use preview to test things? :shock: :o

Why the heck not? :? :x

The same nation kept using this forum as testing ground for images and HTML code. Dispite being warned about it and having threads deleted, he continued to do it.
I'm guessing this time he got a DEAT.

Ah right. And I guess Hack deleted all his threads too.

Actually, it's no one specific person. I posted this after deleting another thread with mucked-up BBCode. Kind of sad that I need to explain things like this to people...

Of course, I fully expect for people to ignore this Announcement (they ignore the Forum description and the spam rules anyway), but this way they can't complain when they're punished.

Well, yeah that's correct. You have to cover all of your tracks to make sure that you are on solid ground when defending yourself and your actions.

Actually they can and do. When you point it out they just say "but who reads these things anyways" or something to that effect.

Since I do read them, it's always funny to watch. :twisted:

I can't really. I can think about it, but not comprehend it.

Although I have some BB forums, virtually nobody posts on them. One of them got spammed, but I decided not to delete the spam in order to play with both posts of it. :twisted:

I suppose I should try to build one of them up in order to truly appreciate what the mods do. :?

First forum I log into is Gameplay then depending on whether I'm feeling helpful, sadistic, or in Awe of Max I come to Technical, Moderation, or this one respectively. Usually one of the first two.

Ah, it always goes for me - JG, General and then perhaps Moderation and Tech.

I log into Gameplay and Moderation i don't post in Moderation but i try to keep up with griefings and so forth. By now the servers died and i don't really get to make a post, but this is kinda off topic :wink:

Well it wouldn't be a player or else it would be a proper region, that did something, on the factbook it says "The dead do not like regional advertising; take it elsewhere, or feel their wrath." his kinda implies deletions will start happening.

Actually, it's more to note that Lazarus isn't for regional adverts. Advertising is just like advertising in, say, Europe. It's spam, and treated thusly, so... warning first, then deletion.
