If I'm wrong, I withdraw this Mod call, but I thought threads, even those of General, were supposed to have some sort of topic suggested by the OP.
This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13320936&posted=1#post13320936) one just pastes an article and has one word after it. Three of us made attempts (with varying degrees of sophistication) to convey that this thread was directionless spam. My attempt was singled out for ridicule. I don't care about that part -- what I'd like is for a Mod to either link this gentleman to the Rules or explain in more concrete terms than I can that his thead is spam...if it is.
Again, if it isn't, withdrawn with my apologies for wasting your time.

"This kind of thread is getting old" and "Who gives a rat's ass" are flamebait now? NSG will be a ghost town.
I withdraw my Modulation, as JuNii and I have provided content to the thread. I suppose it could still be moved to spam, but I also think the world is burrito-shaped, so there y'go.

You added content to the thread? And why couldn't you do that the first time?

Umm...Cryptic.
Not to be an arse about it. But your sig is 10 lines long. Mods only want you to have 8.

Because there was nothing to add to it. You should be thanking JuNii -- it was he who loaved and fished the first actual contnt into the thread. As for why I didn't do it -- it's not my job: I didn't start the thread.
It's cool, thanks for pointing it out.
Funny, he's not a Mod either, but you're okay with him pointing out policy?
Meh. Skip it. I'm done.

There was plenty to add, like your thoughts on the article, which is what JuNii did. And yes it is your job, anti-spam rules apply not only to the OP but the people who reply as well.

Because he was polite about it, you were rude. So he got a polite response and you didn't, see how that works? Rude = Rude Response Polite = Polite response.
Oh and thanks for getting my thread locked!!!!!!:mad:
Actually, copying and pasting got your thread locked.

... as Hack made clear. Here's the relevant OSRS reference:Copy & Paste: All articles / extracts posted for debate will be accompanied by a full reference (working link or name of publication, piece and author) and original poster commentary. Copy and pasting of articles from unattributed sources with insufficient commentary will be considered trolling, spamming or copyright violation as most appropriate.
Yes, you did attribute your source, Cryptic Nightmare. However, notice the words I've bolded. "Thoughts?" doesn't really start a debate. "I think X is right/wrong, because ..." would be better.
That said, let's give it a rest. Locked.
