I've noticed a few people using my name in vain which is a bit ridiculous as this is my first post in this thread. So I figured I would clear up where I stand on this issue. I do not support the Alcar bandwagon. I do not support the CB bandwagon. I'm not even sure how much I support my own bandwagon
.
My only personal objection to the spam-crackdown was the shutting down of the spam thread. I've made my feelings on that known elsewhere so I won't get into that here. I haven't been given any warnings so I can't comment on Alcar's methods but all I will say is that when a rule has not been enforced it is not the best idea to jump in straight away with a Rudi Guiliani-style non-tolerance enforcement. Perhaps the mods should have given a polite reminder and then enforced the rules for all following post rather than those that had occurred before the reminder.
EDIT: I just visited the "Summer Movie Extavaganza! Huzzah" thread and want to complement Max on his mature and reasonable way of dealing with black-coolness-oriented spam there

And I command that the topic of black people and coolness be dropped now. If you want to continue it, PM it or start a thread, rather than going Off-Topic.

No banning. Not even a threat. And because he did it so politely, people will listen.
