The Post-Whoring Needs to Stop, TODAY. READ THIS.

Look, our beloved BAIC community is a great one, we share tons of info with each other, and so forth... However, as of late, it seems as though I have to read through about 15posts that contain a ":banana: ", " ", or whatever in the entire subject line... people saying "+1", and other mindless responses. Peope are starting to get irritated, and so am I. This needs to stop. Any post whoring I see, I'll just delete your post, no questions asked. If the thread is cluttered up, then I'll lock it, and every post in the thread goes to the dumpster. I've had enough.

I don't mind witty responses that are relavant to teh subject, it's just the specific PW threads that irk me.


-Ogre.

PS:

PPS: I appreciate the "reported posts" from members, I cant check every thread.

Simple solution: Elminiate the minimum post count to have an avatar. Give everyone an avatar or remove it altogether and that'll drastically reduce the amount of whoring that goes on. And let people be able to delete their own posts.

No, you don't.

Dumpster is emptied ever 30 days. Once its emptied, you're done.

Blah... I could sit here and do nothing, and watch BAIC turn into a postwhore fest, with no relevant info anywhere in site... but this isn't club SI.
