Hey, stop with the dumb posts

I've had to delete a number of inanely stupid posts recently from some of you clowns. This isn't FYAD, so stop with all the retarded replies. It's stupid and degrades these forums. You're not as funny as you think you are by acting like a retard on the internet. Stay in FYAD if you want to act like that I don't care, just keep it out of here.

The rules in case you missed it.

You wouldn't believe the amount of work I put into this site, yet a number of you continue to run around and trash the place. I find that insulting. I try to keep this place in order by respecting you guys. Please do the same.

As per usual (goes without saying as everyone knows) I agree totally with axe. In my opinion I would like to see the forums continue to grow and mature, and some of these posts are holding us back.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to express my disgust at the way new members to these forums are treated - I'd very much like to see this behaviour disappear.

The overwhelming majority of forum patrons are adding a huge amount of information and entertainment to these forums, hats off to you guys! It's also fantastic to see a lot of old faces return - as I've said before it's like seeing an old friend, and I regard practically everyone on these forums as RL friends :)

Great job ladies and gentlemen, and great job axe for all your work!!!

I think there should be a forum titled something like "Don't Post like this Idiot" and lock all the bad topics and move them to it. That way everyone can see what is complete crap and know not to post anything remotely like that. Not to mention we can look down on the usernames grace that forum. (hopefully i wouldn't be in there.....heh...heh)

I love you axe. People don't listen to me because I'm Swedish.

Do not start pointless single-sentance topics.

So this wouldbe a non allowed thread, it has a one sentence opening! I consider this as a nice and funny thread, but hay it's against the rules - hmmm.

Do not reply with one word or a smiley.

I don't personally do it, but that's done a lot, I do not really see a problem with it. It's fashion. What, are we only allowed to post longass serious posts or something. Is this the place where we discuss politics?! Most of the time the smileys say more than what several sentences can say. :darkstar:

What I'm trying to say is, I'm not really here to be all serious and post big ass replies. I've been on and off semi0 as a whole since like forever, maybe I should leave this forum then - as the purpose of this place for me seems different than that what the forum owners are trying to achieve. If this is indeed the case, then please just say it!

Yours seriousness,

Beyonder.

P.S Why not just put the names of the people who you think are 'trashing this place' in your original post? It's your opinion, I'd love to see it - would clear some stuff up. I'm eager to know if I'm among that bunch.

What he's trying to say is keep your shit where it belongs and don't take it elsewhere. If it applies to the situation, then so be it.

I made a reply in the WWII veterans thread to the beginning of a joke that goes like "My grandfather died in a concentration camp." I replied with "Did he fall off a guard tower?" Clearly this wasn't appropriate for the thread, and both replies were removed. I apologize for that. Just use good sense.

Look bey don't take everything so personal. I just saw an increase in pointless posts around here so I decided to address it. The rules are more of guidelines for what's acceptable. Your thread was fine and everyone enjoyed it. I'm just reminding people when they get a little out of line. The only people who have ever been banned deserved it (dotti, squat, kgm).

Make no mistake about it, this place is for entertainment and chilling. We're all friends here who have known each others for years, so we're expected to act nice to one another. Someone always gets in a huff when I bring this up, believe me, but they know they're being obnoxious. I don't like to babysit, and I shouldn't have to. Just about everyone here is 18+, so they should be acting a little more mature. If one person makes a stupid post, others will think it's general practice and before you know it the place will be full of spam.

I like you guys, and I like this place, and I want it to be around forever. Going on three years together is a major accomplishment. Most places fall apart after a couple weeks without any guidence.

If everyone posted 500 replies of nothing but "lol" this place would turn to hell, no one would visit, and it would probably end up being deleted because no one would want to deal with it. I'm sure everyone would prefere original content to an endless sea of spam.

So when it comes down to it, I just want to keep this place afloat so everyone will keep coming back.

P.S. I love you bey with all my heart. :)

You are reminding people of something that to me is not clear; you don't state to for who this is intended. My thread goes against the rules, yet it's fine - then who are you reminding of what, and why are those rules there in that content.

I understand why you do not just go forward and put out the names of who you originally made this thread for - it would not be a good thing for this community - and put you in to a position you do not wish to be. You ment this for a few people, one can always put a warning in a general fashion yet we all know that that really isnt MENT for everyone to take on a personal basis. Now it's all rather blurry, going in to details [actions & names] would be more 'clear'. :o

I'm most likely reading those rules in the post too literal, yet they stand there as such - either the rules should be changed and be made more specific, or there should be one extra line out there on how you should take those rules.

Someone always gets in a huff when I bring this up, believe me, but they know they're being obnoxious.

O_o ok

P.S <3
