I can't make a descion for or against...but I'll make a few pointers.
One problem with this is that many people define what is considered 'spam' differently then others, so you'll have conflict there.
Another is that the Oddworld Forums are suppost to be an open forum. For this reason I am guessing Syd and AB will not go for this.
We were expecting this to happen even before MO came out. So in a way it is our own fault for not nipping this in the bud when it first started.
You have to remember the average age group here...some just don't know any better. It wouldn't be fair to them if we made a forum just for the more 'mature' members.
There are other reasons why some people left other then the excessive spam (ie lost interest).
You have to remember the mods and admins can't moderate the forums 24 7, we have lives beyond the computer ya know.
I sersiously doubt either AB or Syd have the time or resources to open another forum for us 'sensible' members. We were lucky with the last move that Pilot was willing to offer his server.
In reference to the point above and IMO...if you want a separate forum for us 'sensible' members so badly...start one up yourself....
That's my...*counts* $1.50 on the matter...
