I agree 100% with dreddz here because I can speak from experience on this matter. I posted a picture which by all emans should have had me banned from this site a few years ago. It was a stupid mistake wich I regret doing very much. It limited my ability to do many things on the site. I just think sometime s with matters like these maybe we should give members a second chance. I for one am greatful that I was given one.

well, just because people agree the staff has the right to do anything they want when they register doesn't mean they don't have the right to complain when they don't think it's justified. But I'm fairly sure you weren't trying to say that. :monster:

yeah, iirc, a number of people were quite upset when you were given one and Peter was not, but I don't feel like dredging up that argument again :monster:

a little bit of spam here and there is ok. it takes a lot to get warned for spamming here, and then you have to keep it up for a while to get banned for spamming.

Then again, I'm not in charge here, and if I were, things would no doubt be significantly different in other aspects as well :monster:

You're a person complaining about spam, and I think that you need to find better things to worry about than the rules of an internet message board. Again, it's not really harming anyone, and as long as a significant number of people find the thread unfunny, it's not really helping the forums much.

And hey, you're not in charge here, and if you were, this place would have turned into something that isn't EoFF, and there is no point in turning this established site into something entirely different. We've got ourselves a proven winning formula, so there's no point in changing it. :)

I'd argue that it is harming people, since they lose their posting privileges.

And just because things work doesn't mean they can't be improved. I have yet to see a message board that operates perfectly.

But people will always be subjective to how something works, whether it is online of not. You can't please everybody.

of course you can't, but you can probably always run things in a manner that pleases a greater number of people.

I think we are doing so.

I think there's always room for improvement.

But hey, maybe lots of people were privately complaining about spam. I just have a hard time seeing why it's so hard to ignore it, at least outside of GC and EoEO. I never saw that much of it outside those forums.

If eestlinc wasn't on staff, I don't know what would happen :monster:

I am happy with the way this place is run, I have not got on the wrong side of the mods too often, and when I did I knew why and (probably) stopped. This is one of the best forums out there, and the strictness does not bother me.

Let's adopt the winning Fool's Gold formula!

Ugh, I hate this so called "defence".

You may be in the right, and have totally defeated our logic, but we own the damned thing so you suck HAHAHA!

Ugh ugh ugh. No.
