Totally agrees with Search Engine. I prefer reading about your sis and you on vacation than having another brawl-thread over the ps3 or the wiiiii, not to mention all the other zillion threads of no purpose which are turned in to chat threads anyway by a few (yeah you mentioned two of them). Guess you just have to add a link or end it with a question like others do, that seems to work. Ive seen a couple of members ending their posts with "well this is gonna be considered a blog so im adding this link", that link is always hella offtopic which alone should lock the thread. On the other hand, we cant really blame the mods, your thread was easy to spot while in-thread-spam and liners actually acquires the mods to be reading every damn post, a task that would turn the most sane person crazy.
The one linear rule isn't being enforced anymore, seeing as how those were the only posts going on in The Flood. A whole posting shift needs to be made, where people are actually discussing things, instead of spamming to get people to notice them.
Here's another thing i dont get since we´re on the topic of rules; the mods are blacklisting a wellknown member, 1 minute later this member is back on another account. Why isnt this account blacklisted too when its quite obvious that it is indeed is the same person, i thought the basic idea was to give the person a time-out and not just the account?
The Disembodied Soul checks the IPs of blacklisted people, and keeps them from posting with another account. Also, I think Master Forum ninjas can check the IPs and ban people that way. Unfortunately, it is too easy to get past the Soul, such as reseting your IP address.
