    Default Okay, so who determines that I'm spamming?

    I'm referring mostly to my wonderful thread on Jesus H. Christ. I'd just like to say I wasn't intending to spam or anything like that, and it wasn't until Neel mentioned anything that it went somewhat off-topic.

    So who made that call? Just wondering.

    The thread got closed because Neel, Joy, and Resha decided to have a stupid slumber party in it. I usually give at least one warning to get back on topic before I close a thread that's going that way, but Estlin just isn't as kind or understanding as I am. In any case, not your fault.

    Yea, I considered throwing a "back on topic" out but I figured it was futile. But the topic was valid enough, although probably open to spamming capabilites.

    Anyway, I was saying... it's HOLY! xD Cos' people always go Holy Christ! Y'know?
    The first part wasn't on topic, but the second part is. Explaining my opinion ^_^

    See? Don't be evil and say it was my fault >_< When you post something like "What does [insert letter] stand for in [insert word/phrase]" obviously people are going to put silly things in like Hottie or Horatio or Hippopotamus.

    Yeah, but but not for every post. Just another example of how the young generation has lost the art of pacing oneself.

    Better than losing the art of having fun though, I suppose.

    I have always considered threads such as the one being discussed to be chatting, rather than spamming, and what's the point of "General Chat" if not to chat? Why not call it "General Please Post Entirely On Topic Or We'll Close Your Threads" instead? Or alternatively "Eyes on Each Other" has a nice ring to it. Whichever works.

    That kind of chatting belongs in CHAT. Not the forums.

    I think maybe it should be name changed to General Discussion if you need more clarity.

    the marginal blasphemy combined with the marginal spamminess added up to cross the threshhold of 'what will eest close'. Besides, I gave the 'true' answer so no further discussion was needed.

    It will be a truly sad day when you can only have one or the other.
