Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Unfortunately, SimCity doesn't take into account individual resident behaviors, attitudes, and actions. In a realistic community model, you can limit, quite successfully mind you, the "crime" in the city by not bringing in the people that will cause trouble and reducing the benefit of those crimes that do happen.
Spam is used to draw attention: period. People don't want to work for fame, so they go for infamy. If members don't acknowledge that it's there, specifically by not responding to them, then all that ill-meant work the poster had done has now accumulated to nothing, absolutely nothing. If someone wants to take action against a thread, use the spam-report; don't waste your time, my time, and the moderator's time by bumping the thread.
SimCity (For the record, I know its capatilised, I have SC4 on my computer) was a loose analogy, but if you want we can go back to elephant poop.
Oh, I wasn't trying to stress the spelling difference, I just try to always italicize proper nouns in my post.
"Elephant poop" was a proper analogy for Foman/RN54(?) to use. I just wanted to convey the subtle, but necessary, differences between SimCity and a real, functioning societal community.
