So, you started a spam thread, then hijacked it to turn it into a legitimate discussion?

That's breaking two rules.

Any mods? Anyone?

I mean, in both cases, it's the same rule being broken. Some of the same people are involved too.

President Shrub, they are not the same. The difference revolves around an actual technical problem relating to post timing that has been discussed in several technical and moderation threads.

Furthermore, the thread was moved to the Spam forum over 7 hours ago, indicating clearly that a moderator took action. There is no need to keep bumping a thread AFTER a mod has acted.

If you're trying to prove that Mods are OMGZ BIASED by not giving identical rulings in non-identical situations, you're failing.

I did not start the thread, and it wasn't "hijacked" into a legit discussion. You know how threads drift, right? But I agree with Fris, drop the attitude, the thread was moved to spam meaning action was taken.

Okay. So, just to clarify: In the future, if there's a technical problem in the Jolt forums, I can start a spam thread about it without being warned. Correct?
