It's dead...!!!! I almost feel kinda sad...although I was wondering when that might happen. It was getting rather large.

Evening all! I've just got back from the Wrestling. I'm not hammered and I have a huge headache...how is everyone?

Um.... It died just after my post with the Word pic. I did blame Ruffy and FD for it's demise, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. :fluffle:

It's in Chat now. It'll be happy there for a while. The grass is green and the air is fresh, though it won't get too many visitors I imagine. ;)

Oh, and you can view signatures if you go to "Profile" at the top of the page, and go to "edit Options" and turn it on. You can also turn on images there.

Ignore me then. It's simply friendly advice, and if the thread keeps being bumped it will just be moved as well.

Perhaps this comment, and therefore your attitude to the forum, is evidence of why you seem to think the Mods 'pick on you'?

Now, the next lesson you have to learn is to make threads (at least the title) not too spam-ish. You see, this one is already reported to moderation and will be closed or moved to Spam (or Chat) pretty soon.

If the threads are going to survive here, there has to be a bit more... well, topic. And as the wise man once said: "Only if there is enough of a topic can we truly go off-topic" ;)

Regardless: Do you usually get hammered at wrestling? What kind of wrestling do you do? :p

I'll ignore you if you just butt out and ignore the thread, nobody made you read it or asked for your advice, if the mods don't like it then they'll see it and delete it, they don't need you to point out whether or not it should be deleted.

New Peeland is new to the forums and seems nice enough. I was passing on advice to her about where she can chat without getting a warning from the Mods, which is the way it would go with spammy threads. If you would prefer such advice 'butted out' and watched someone get warned because no one bothered to tell them, that's up to you.

If you actually look at that thread, you'll see I posted for the first few pages. Part of the advice various people put up was to read the stickies on posting.

There would be no Mod warning for having a thread you created moved to spam. There might be for doing it more than once. But, by all means, you're welcome to carry on.

I was getting to know people and learning about the forums, I can't exactly do that in other threads because I'll take them 'off topic'! So what do you suggest I do? You've reported this new one as well I assume...so I'll just wait until its moved and then what?

'My dear', you have been on here for several days. You have had a mammoth thread to 'get to know people'. You have been given very good advice on how to get along here, including to read the rules. If you don't like the rules on this forum, then it is perhaps not the one for you.

Actually, first thread or not if it had been proper spam which it really wasn't, it was only light and hardly worth grassing to the mods about, she could've gotten a warning, if you were really concerned about the newbies getting in trouble you would've said in the thread that it was a little too spammy and maybe we should consider letting it die or P requesting a lock from the mods rather than going straight to the mods without warning her that you were doing it

You seem to be under the impression that a move is somehow a bad thing. It didn't belong in General. It was moved. It remains open. No one is in trouble about it.

First off don't be so patronising and condescending, if you don't like a thread then you don't have to post there. YOU ARE NOT A MOD and therefore you have no rights to tell people what they can or cannot do. Once they read the rules it's up to them if they decide to follow them or not.

Firstly, it is a bad thing because nobody ever goes to the Jolt forums from here so the thread's just gonna die.
Secondly, you've missed my point so i'll put it a little bit more simply for you sweetie, you said that the thread was spam, you know that people can get in trouble for spam, you didn't tell P this despite the fact that she's a newbie and may not know what the mods here consider to be spam, instead you just went straight to the mods, why should I believe that all of a sudden you're interested in helping the newbie and not just sticking your nose in where it isn't wanted?

She was repeatedly told to read the stickies. If she didn't, that isn't my problem, and it certainly isn't my fault.

This is a debating forum. There is no such thing as 'light spam', and a 2000+ post thread on nothing at all is certainly not on any such diet. Again, if you don't like the rules, then perhaps you should take this little persecution complex somewhere you can 'light spam' to your heart's content.

Wrong.

We encourage our players to point people towards the rules, and to report rulebreakers. Your desire to turn this into a chat forum does not mean that the rules will bend to allow you to do so.
