New forum rule!

[Darg]

a new rule has been put into the forum rules thread:

If you are starting a new thread, make the topic name of your post at least somewhat relevant to the post's contents. Do not write subject lines designed to draw attention to your post, like for example: "plz help" , "cmon i need help". Threads that fail to do this may be closed until the thread maker edits his post and changes the topic, or they may be deleted in extreme cases.

If you are replying to someone else's post, you may write whatever subject line you want, or none at all (as long as you don't use profanity).

The reason I am adding this is because, when I read the list of threads on a daily basis, I want to be able to read the subject line and get a good idea of what the post is about. It also helps me if I want to hunt for a post I saw maybe 2 days ago, where I know what the post was about, but I don't know what the exact subject line is.

As with any new forum rule, we won't be "hard-line" enforcing it from right this second. We will give you guys some time to adjust to it, and simply remind you that the rule exists for now. Once we feel that most people are abiding by the rule to the point where they don't even have to think about it, then we will start a tougher enforcement.

Darn-I want you to be honest-it was my sad-pathetic post that made you do this huh?

Alot of people have been doing. It's really difficult to search through threads when alot of them are "plz help" and stuff like that. It's not as bad as it used to be, however.

 

[Chaoscontrol]

Yes and sadly i was part of the problem, well not anymore ill change you'll see.

I don't feel we have to justify our actions, but I would like to post this note.

This is what I consider spam
....and will be dealt with, barring any special circumstances.

That is, in my insight, an irrational judgement. An active member is not necessarily annoying others.

ConanEdogawa is still new to these boards, which explains his activity. His zeal and will wane in time.

The quantity of posts is irrelevant. The quality of its contents is more important.

It is justified. ConanEdogawa was me just being a baby...

Perhaps so Mind.

But good reasons always go into modding decisions here.
