And it's the even older members that believe this is a good thing.

No daftie!
I mean I'm 8 years older than you... Nate is 6 and Statikk that guy could be as old as the hills...
The older you get, the more relaxed you become surrounding issues of rules and regulations. Its like a kinda "wait! I'm not in school no more!" kinda realisation! Not just with forums but with life in general... you will slowly begin to bend and manipulate rules and regs you encounter in everyday life to suit your own personal morality forged after x y z years... its a commonality!

ClaireBear, it looks to me as if you're the one who has now brought Abe Babe into this. Alcar already said that his mentioning of her was regarding devotion for Oddworld, but it's you who is now saying that Abe Babe has had no word in the matter, as if that's some kind of arguement against the Rules Enforcement.

Please read carefully...

Which means we have a cause, other than greed. And you've got to contend with both Abe Babe's and I's passion. We aren't going to do anything that jeopardises the Oddworld Forums. And we see spamming / rule breaking something that could jeopardise them.

Now to me that reads like Peter is suggesting that she is in agreement with his
methods of enforcing the rules.
I raise this issue as although I agree that forums should have an AUP.. I repeat for the terminally stoopid...I think rules concerning posters conduct is necessary but I also think that this forum's is far far too stringent and that Alcar's mrthods of "enforcement" would be better suited in Nazi occupied Poland!
That is my point... I am pointing out Abe Babes silence as perhaps her waying of staying out of something she doesn't condone!

Is that supposed to imply that my worthiness as a poster on these boards is
irrelevent? Because I can assure you I get sickened by the spam on these Forums, and it's not just the mods, other members do agree. It has already been noted that the opposition here are a somewhat small band, and it is my own observation that for the large part these people are falling out of their love for Oddworld, meaning they cannot share the same passion for which the Admin are basing their actions on. But it doesn't take an Oddworld fan to see that levels of spam are rising. It was one foul trudge through the Welcomes and Birthdays Forum that brought to my attention the disgraceful levels of off-topic and downright nasty posts that were going about.

No what I'm saying is that Peter using the "the mods agree with me card" is the same as Hitler saying "Himler and Gerbles think the same way too!" Of course mods will comply with a need for less spamming that exactly why they became mods!!!! We need to see which average posters agree with Alcars excessive methods!

It's been said before that the Mods weren't doing their jobs. Suddenly we are and the complaining starts from a different angle. Yes I know the two groups are the same, but if it's all the same with you I'd rather do my job and keep the boards clean of spam. This isn't so much as a crackdown but a kick in the pants for the mods and admin, and a reminder to everyone that we're doing our duty once again.

Bulls**t its not what you do but how you do it... posting a HUUUUGE reminder and handing out bans and warnings in hignsight is nothing more than shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted....
what should have happened was a quiet private discussion between alcar and the rest of the mods to tighten their belts implemented without the general posting public aware of the change... as it is we now know that Smell and Smitz have a warning and Brew has been banned! Which actually is stated in the rules somewhere... lengthy that they are..
