Do I have a post that is lost somewhere? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I just posted in a thread, got the little quote after the message had been sent, but when it brought up the thread again it was locked.Usually it says that the thread has been closed, but not this time.

What happened to that post?


ACK!

I got a 10% pcr that was unfair in my opinion, especially when the person that posted above me didn't. All I was refering top by my post was that, when a thread like EVC's is made a lot of people will post just to get a +1 to their post count. I think that's unfair, but maybe I should have put the in quotes.

Probably a good thing the post didn't go through or I might have got 20%.

ACK!

10% does seem harsh since 10% is the going rate for much worse. But the thread was undeniably spammy, and A/C has been generally lately. We are the examples.

My post wasn't intended to be spam, I was making a point. That being said, I'm not going to complain about the PCR, because the post that prompted this thread WAS pure spam.

I'll just consider this a " Minority Report" kind of deal.

I thought so too, but still, commenting that actual spam is spam is still spam (call it meta-spam, lol) in my book.

And I didn't mean in my post that we are the examples of spammers......we all know there are far worse......but that we are the example that has been made in order to reduce the recent spamfests in this forum. More consistency would be nice, but never mind.

Anyways I don't want 2 pcr's in 1 day, and this thread seems done, so perhaps closure should be imminent.
