Or I should say Crapflood notice. Spamming is advertising or cross posting, which is smiteable already.

Look, I'm pretty damn tolerant when it's all said and done. I do let people get away with a lot here, as if you read some of the threads. Probably too much, but then again, I misbehave a fair bit too. That's the way I like running things. I also give people a lot of rope if they are a positive influence, or participate in the community a lot - in a good manner I may add.

But right now, I'm going to lay down the law, because I saw Picture Request III, despite my note, border on a spam fest. NO. Not on. What is also no longer on is a constant stream of one to three word replies and constant smiley posts. I dotn mind a resonable amount, but when they go on and on and on..... neyt, no more.

I do not mind people amusing themselves here, because that is what this forum is about. I am quite resonable about things in here, but really....

So this is the policy I have. You get some rope. That's fine. But if you just crap flood and nothing more than crap flood, you'll suddenly find yourself out the door. Leeway is gained by contributing to the community. A good way to do that is make us laugh or think. Or post somethign good to read. Or pictures in Pic Request. Few other ways like bribery work too.

I dont think this is unresonable, esp given the leeway I will and do give. This place tends to welcome anyone and I do not wish to disciple anyone. I will if it continues.

Excessive crap flooding is solely at the discresion of the GJO staff. remember, if they say no, they mean no.

Thank You. We now return you to regular programming of Naked Rangers and Whipped Cream.

I think the admins should return to the days of some good ol'fashion posting rights suspensions and(or) singling them out and yelling at them in groups and giving them the false notion that everyone here hated them for their spamming. The latter was much more popular, and I think it used to work rather well.

I'm afraid that's what I'm going to do. But firstly, have to warn that it's getting beyond a joke and see if the situation resets. If not, yes, the smite button is coming out.

Ah...whipped cream and dancing Xazors....that was definitely a fun thread.

Anyways, as my friend so succintley put it...

"Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages"

When I think of it, I have been seeing a lot more of those lately, so I guess I agree...:D

READ THIS. It's going to become GJO posting rule.

You have advance warning.

Thank you, Gurney...I believe that those are excellent guidelines to follow. If you look at some of the people who were banned (*cough* JUDAS *cough*), their posting styles violated these guidelines.

Sorreenna has lost access to GJO OOC areas. Being warned and then trying to deny that fact / argue the toss is not a good idea. When the admins say the decision is final, we absolutly mean it.

It's SORREESSA.

She's gonna kill you for that, dude. Although I must admit, arguing with the admins is not a good idea. They got their power for a reason.
