I don't get it either, I never even knew a rule. I wish people would come to my forums that way it wouldn't be so quiet.

I detect people trying to bum up their own forums.

Suffering from ads?

Thinking about it.....


the only reason we get threads like this is because Ming and co. are too damned soft.

No three strikes and you are out just "piss me off and I bar you IP".

I think that would shut the complainers pretty shortly, wouldn't you?

Additionally, this won't work with some people who have dialup accounts. Most dialup accounts give you a different IP number each time you connect, so the person will only be blocked occasionally.

Jools - I agree that Ming seems like a nice guy, especially considering some of the bs he has to put up with on a relatively constant basis from some people around here when he doesn't get paid for being a mod. However, why should he threaten people with vacations if they do something one more time if he's not prepared to carry out the punishment when the person calls his bluff....as 1212 did (after creating seven or eight - mostly useless and unintelligible - threads and having Ming warn him that if he created another within 24 hours he'd get a vacation, 1212 goes ahead and creates this one...and Ming simply says 1212 is pushing him?). Either Ming means what he says or he doesn't.....Case Closed!
Sorry Ming....I always wanted to say that....

If we banned all IPs then that would solve the problem.

If you banned all the IP's then no one would post. The people who post the junk threads are the people who post the most and keep the forum keep 24/7. If you banned us, how many posts a day do you think you could get?

Are bumps allowed (with in reason)? I don't want to get banned, and yet some times you need to be sure that someone sees something... Hence the bump...

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Bumps can serve a purpose, and are legal when used seldomly. Sometimes you want somebody in particular to see something or respond. However, it can get out of hand. People have been given vacations for excessive bumping. So use it when the situation calls for it... but think before you bump

And embalmer42... If he had created one more stupid thread, he would have earned that vacation. But, he was smart, and started a threadasking a legitimate question... Now remember, I don't like giving out vacations. It is a last resort. I had made my point...

Bumping, banning... get a life you freaks. And if you can't, play a multiplayer with someone smarter and feel what a burning ass feels like.

Why can't we just get along?

I'm glad that bumps (within reason) are allowed. Sometimes, you just need to bring something to someone's attention, and writing "bump" is easier than coming up with some reason to post...

In other words... What you say is logical .
