Why the rule? Because it eliminates the chances of the Oddworld Forums becoming a cesspit of spam. Something I'd like to avoid. I thought it was pretty obvious a no spamming rule was intended to cut spam out.

About the large post count. I'm simply stating that in an Oddworld forum, you'd expect that the Oddworld Discussion forum would have more attention. One of the reasons Off-Topic has more, is because of spam.

Alcar...
Nice deflection but you haven't answered my question!

And don't you think the diference in post and thread count is that you can really only discuss the colour of Abe's Y's if he wears any at all a few times! The OT board has far more thread possiblities!

Teals suggestion actually answered my question so...Thanks Teal!

I agree with you... I don't even class stuff like "Yeah! *thumbs up*" and "LOL! Wow there big boy!" as "spam" I class it as s**t! That stuff is worthy of deletion!

What I don't want is Peter running onto threads and abolishing what you nicely termed the "natural progression" of a conversation.

If Alcar actually defined what he classes as spam then I think he'd find we have similar views... I opened a spam thread for gawds sake to kinda herd it together!! but until he does so of course I'm going to take umbridge... I'm not "picking a fight with a mod"... I'm discussing a salient point with another OW poster... we are all equal on here ya know... except he's got a lock and delete function!

EDIT: Oh wow! I haven't used the new smilies much til now they're really cute much better than before... good call Alcar not using Death's IMHO (no offence!) rather scary ones!
