The tension is so tight I could bite through it in one bite.

So stricter rules on spam?  Agreed?

Maybe YOU can't read turbo.  Mess said his first post was before reading the whole thread, but this last one was after reading.  So back off him and quit being condescending. (that sounds familiar).  He said he skimmed them all, which unless he is retarded (which he isn't), means he extracted the points from each and every post.

And Messakin's point is exactly what I was getting at.  Spam to some is not spam to others.  We here at wii unite understand that because that is the whole purpose of this site.  We spammed the crap out of GF back in the day (you were there and I know helped us do it Wink ).  But to us it was a fun way to enjoy the boards and create a community, but to others it was pointless spam.  That is the same situation as this one.  To you, I8 posts useless spam.  But to him and possibly others, it is not and serves a purpose for them being at the site.

So while myself and other mods here can distinguish what WE consider spam, we have no way of knowing what we would be doing by deleting the posts of community members who do not think it is useless.  In fact we could very well be suppressing the type of community that such fun spam created here in the first place.

So like Mess said, I, myself, will not be touching posts for being spam.  I may ignore them if I so choose, but I will not be moderating it and limiting what the members here are free to post.

 Cheesy
Its not always about conversational spam sometimes you just have to post to lighten up the mood day or just cause and all out board fad.

I know you were there not from the beginning but for a good part of it i did try out for sol and played you for my tryout on an alt.

I said majortiy of the site cuz thats what you made it sound like when you said lawyer was ignoring the majority. my bad for misunderstanding.

and it sounds more like you have a problem with a few posters spamming and not spam in general which could have been handled by you just pming a mod or reporting them instead of this foul disgusting excuse for a thread. DOWN WITH AUTHORITY!!! Angry

this is honestly going to go no where...
