*applaudes Alcar*
Yep, for a couple of reasons, I, along with other mods, have been kept away from the Forums a fair amount. I didn't know anything about this experiment. Not even while chatting to Alcar did he bring it up (and hence I wasn't aware even of this new insta-deletion policy). I have noticed that spam in GD has decreased quite a bit, hopefully a (delayed) reaction to my announcement there, but the odd example still pops up, and possibly will more so when there's anything substantial to talk about.
Posts with humorous asides are perfectly legitimate in General Discussion, as long as that's all they are: asides. A post used solely for the purpose of a joke merely using the situation counts as spam. There's enough opportunity for this frolicing in Off-Topic.
*unloads spam situation onto Majic and DI*
