Hey! Why the hell are you snitching on me? Or are you? Is it against the rules, or do you just want it to be?

It is against the rules. He's not snitching on you, he's helping make sure the forum index doesn't get clogged up with spam.

People should be able to find the discussion threads General is meant for without having to fight their way through random thickets of someone else's self-indulgence.

READ THE STICKIES!

I did. I must have missed that one. I didn't miss the subtitle wich said General was for 'Anything and everything"

That subtitle (from June 2003) predates the banning of word games, which didn't happen until sometime in the first half of 2004.

You mean, in the thread that says General Forum Rulings and Good Advice (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=410573), you managed to miss this bit?

2) Word game etc. threads are no longer allowed.

and, in The One-Stop Rules Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023), this bit?

Word Games are banned. Period. It is not a matter of bandwidth, they are just not coming back as they are spam. If you want to play word games, go start or join some in the spam forum. They are not welcome here.

Tch, tch. Oh, just to clarify, that word "spam":

Spam/SPAM: Off-topic, irrelevant and multi-posts that clog the server. This includes posting lots of smilies which is known as Smilie Spam. Also akin to spamming is Post-whoring which is when a player posts anything just to increase the postcount. Going in and out of a region and hence filling up the regional events board with departing and arriving messages is known as Events Log Spamming and is not allowed. Spamming to the point where you get deleted is known as Klamathing. Spamming in the forums should be reported through the Moderation forum, and In-game, through the Getting Help Page.

So, no spam? Got it.

GM, while I would not, of course, make personal remarks about another poster, may I say I have suspicions re maternal hamsterisation and paternally aromatic elderberry?

I shall now meanly lock this thread to avoid further Python jokes. MWHAHAHAAAH!
