Hehe, it is certainly true that I view threads started by experienced posters with more scepticism than those started by a chieftain say. Post stats threads started by settlers might also be suspicious.

However it is perfectly plausible that emperors who posted a lot before the stats were introduced could genuinely ask. Also people that don't post in A/C much could easily miss it despite a high post count.

If they don't post in the A/C much, they are not likely to go there to ask.

And if it's a settler that asks, you can bet we'll check out who won for any possible hanky panky DLs.

Fair enough, I'd like to revise my original request for a new rule to read.

And can we add a rule that it doesn't count if started by a "Spammer".

Happy now?

So that's why the mods let this game go on. It's a DL hunter.

I say Nov. 24th.

I think you underestimate Rasputin. Back in the day, when the name Rasputin was synonymous with posting 300 times a week in the A/C forum, I don't think Ras actually started very many threads at all. The spam was more refined in those days. The threads were carefully left for at least a page before the sharks descended, and spam was a subtle art, for long boring threads that the mods never visited. Opening a thread for the sole point of spamming was certainly not cricket! Bad show, and so forth. Having not been on Poly for several months, I think Rasputin's question was almost certainly valid, and if it was not, he would have found more subtle and ingenious ways to ask it.

Woohoo a friend at last

I just am a very opinionated person who likes to tell everyone his opinion whethr they want it or not

But that was the old raz, now i just ask meaningful questions about changes to poly sinc ei been gone, or asking for small change as in adding msn messenger details. But alas, i am tarnished and no one responds to my threads.

It doesn't count if it's started by somebody posted in this thread.
