PSA Regarding Contentless Posting

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Feb 27, 2017 10:25 am

Post by Equinox »

This is a reminder that making posts with the sole intention of taking the top of the page (i.e., "pagetops") or the first reply of a thread (e.g., "First!") can and will be considered spamming. Please do not engage in this behavior. From this point forward, we will be sending warnings for this kind of contentless posting.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a discussion moderator (Equinox, Glork, InflatablePie, MattP) or administrator (zoraster).

Third!

Ok on a serious note how does this rule relate to mafia games? I know I, and others, do stuff like that in order to get the game on our ego post. This is especially true during RVS. How should game mods handle issues like this?

Hopefully this only applies to non-mafia game threads.

To clarify, this is for non-game threads. Mafia, Mish Mash, and Large Social game threads are governed by their respective game moderators and ultimately by the list moderators, so please check with them if you have a question about those areas.

Most can do that without posting first.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

I'd like to announce that I'm leaving the site, it's clear that mafia scum and I have drifted apart and it's best to leave gracefully than overstay your welcome. I cannot stand by whilst innocent posts are slaughtered left, right and centre, you can try to stop contentless posts but you will never succeed, because they don't stop coming.
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
