New Forum Guideline / READ BEFORE POSTING!

TEKNIC · 02-20-2004

To discourage pointless posts, The Moderator Team has put into effect a new rule for this forum. It is as follows:

All posts must contain at least 8 words or more. Any post not containing at least 8 words will be deleted.

Again this rule is designed to cut down the number of worthless posts and to generate more poignant content to the site.

I notice that this has only been read by a couple people. I am very disappointed in you guys. I'm going to make a duplicate post in the Announcements Section in hopes that someone may read it there.

The rule is in effect whether you have read this or not. So, if you don't feel like reading this, "sucks to be you."

that isnt a good idea
---
Well insted of just posing something like " LOL, that funny!!!" people will post " That Comment is very humourous, it made me laugh!"
---
Also it will make simple responses longer and maybe complicated
So if a person asks something like " Is the game on Saturday??"
the answer could have been " No, Monday " but now people have to write " no the game wont be on saturday, insted we are having it on monday"
---
I think you should delete comments that have no purpose insted, no matter how short/long they are
things like having 11 people all answering the same question with the same response ( u know everyone just kinda nods, and says " ya, thats true") and things like "lol" and other retarted posts

Why would you not want to post? If you don't have anything meaningful to say, then don't say anything it all. If a simple 'yes' or 'no' question is being asked, it will be acceptable in most cases. If needing eight words is discouraging to you, I think you may have just realized that you are a worthless spammer.
