Re: WARNING!! Spam infractions make a comeback
Great move Detale.
I used to love perusing FST. Sometimes it gave a good laugh, sometimes it was very informative and helpful. I miss Srgnt. Major since he was both at the same time.
Lately though, I've been turned off by the incessant amount of childish bickering and just plain stupidity that is rampant in this section.
I think in fact a lot of people have been turned off by it, as the people I used to enjoy reading or communicating with don't appear to bother posting here anymore.
It's great to see people like Artemis still around and as intellectual as ever.

good move detale!
question though, what do you consider spam? i mean i guess the definition of spam is everything that isn't connected to the OP, but if a thread develops into several parallell discussions between users in one thread, and is not flaming, hating, non-constructive etc, is that still considered spam? where do you draw the line?

You summed up your own answer fairly accurately there :whistling
Re: WARNING!! Spam infractions make a comeback
I'm really really glad that this is happening. I think these sections are well overdue for it and it will be a move in the right direction. If you think about it, most trackers don't tolerate spamming and crap attitudes, so why should forums concerned with those trackers be any different?
Anyways, props Detale.

True some people seem to think that FST is their personal playground much to both the site's and their own detriment but some of those trackers that you fondly mention xnugx also don't seem to to tolerate dissenting opinions either .
Reasonable restraint is one thing but pray that this site never goes down that road.
Btw for the millionth time spam by my definition is anything that doesn't enrich the thread.No one needs to be on topic, agreeable or even serious to accomplish that.
Re: WARNING!! Spam infractions make a comeback
As long as Im here I'll never let that kind of thing happen to FST ;)
Re: WARNING!! Spam infractions make a comeback
I agree people just spam topics to get their posts count up. It's sad who really cares how many posts u have?
