    Both of those rules, at least from the way I perceive them, are about forum integrity. If someone makes a topic that isn't random spamming, they're adding something to the forum. Flooding every topic with a meme takes away from the integrity because it's just the same repeated unfunny banter nobody likes to read (not contributing in any way etc.)

    I believe you were the one who was complaining too much about something trivial that started all of this...

    why the fuck do you care? why take this as upon yourself as a personal crusade if it bothers you that much just ignore everyone that you know habitually uses the word.

    also your "every topic" is a gross exaggeration, just like all the rest of your arguments.

    Arbitrary determination of what random spamming is. We've had drawn out discussions in spam that have been of far more use than some of the shit that gets posted in general. And note that I'm not saying everything in either section is gold but really you're just

    People post trash even when they're not trying to spam, it happens. Not everything is some gift of discourse bestowed upon us, good intentions can rot.

    Yes, wordbanning TOTALLY protects the integrity of the forum. Gosh, how could I ever have disagreed with your airtight logic? Please forgive me.

    Again, it's their forum, if you don't like the way they work, leave. I know you post shit like this just because you're so incredibly bored, but seriously.

    Put your money where your mouth is. Go and open "The Ryko forums" and take everyone with you and bring BG to it's knees. You're so confidant you could do things better, yet you sit around and whine and jump on any opportunity you can just to entertain yourself. I'd go so far as to say that half the people in this thread are just parasites who feed off the mistakes and misfortune of others.

    new rule: ban everyone that does not type a dissertation in response to the every topic in general. I'm sure that would preserve and not 'devalue the forums'.

    IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT JUST LEAVE, GUYS

    God, I find better debate skills in spam than I do in general, should I be shocked by this? Naturally, I expected that general posters would select better examples to support their arguments. I suppose that I'm just not fit to survive outside of spam.

    Every topic is an exaggeration yes, but every topic where, by any stretch of the imagination, Darwinism could be at least worked in through some indirect way is not. Do you really enjoy reading that shit? Be honest with me.

    Anyways, I really don't care that much, although I honestly did think it was something that should have been stopped. I made one post about it, and suddenly I have a topic about me. Again, the irony here that I don't really understand is that some of you are acknowledging memes can become a problem (Rick Rolling etc.,) yet are complaining that another once funny meme is being added to the banlist.

    You're basically right Max, that's the whole point. However, the armies of spam must march forth and claim more territories as obviously their lands are no longer fertile or something.

    Honestly, I couldn't really think of a good example of a spam post (not to be confused with a post in the spam section of the forums.) I don't see them very often, I can't remember the last time a thread was deleted because it was "a stupid topic," which is what I was referencing.

    Irony is that complaining about the banning of a meme has become a meme.

    Yeah, why not. We'll go with that. Or, maybe, I can just continue to point out, reasonably, that the delineation of power you've attempted to give us is ridiculous to acknowledge. When I was a mod I never expected someone to just back it cuz I said so, why the hell would I suddenly fall in line when I'm on the other side? Feedback from "teh masses", especially on gross contradictions and oversights, goes about as far from "devaluing the boards" as you can possibly get.

    tl;dr: Nou.

    The one argument that no one has been able to even discuss is again: Why should anyone give a shit about general and it's rules when there's an area where rules don't exist.

    Why is general so precious to you people that you have to go to these lengths over it? Again, it's always had rules, some stupid, some not, yet everyone gets so surprised and worked up when another one is added to the list.

    Why exactly haven't you learned your lesson and just turn spam into your own paradise, or as stated, make an exodus somewhere else? You already know what the mods are capable of doing, it's your own fault for playing with fire.

    Simple: Because when something is deemed entertaining by the denizens of said area, they use it sparingly elsewhere. Then people pick up on it and follow it up and, well, we get back here.

    We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning.
