You guys tend to be inconsistent.  I could bring up moderations where you all ban someone and then in a similar situation you all dont ban somebody else.  However that wont be the topic right now.  However we will talk about the illusive triple post.  For whatever reason this is to be considered spamming.  I disagree that its spamming as long as it is on topic and contributes to conversation. In fact ive seen the rule bent very often incluiding Starcraft while he has been a mod.  However ive seen mods, or mod, (not sure which) get kind of testy with this sometimes.  

Anyways here is an example http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6590404  

Slade gets moderated

Here Prof doesnt get moderated even though i know for a fact that it was brought to ConeG's attention http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=187834&page=150


As ive said before ive seen this happen often actually, and if i really wanted to, which im not even going to waste my time on so dont ask, i could find other examples including Starcraft commenting three times in a row.  In fact ive done it on numerous occasions and im not ashamed to say that.

Now i get that there is a base to base issue with some moderations but this rule seems pretty to the point.  All im asking is to use some common sense.  If people are contributing to the conversation then get off your high horse and dont moderate them

However if it is actually spam which usually consists of one word posts, pictures, or nothing to do with the topic then moderate them.

It's not a rule I agree with, actually. But it's one I've been moderated for a few times myself so I try to ensure that it's a rule which is enforced equally.

As for the Slade incident, as you said we've discussed it already so no more needs to be said on that. The Mafia thread, however, is something a bit different. It was brought up earlier in the thread and it was said there that not all the rules don't apply the same way, hence the lack of moderation in that case. Indeed, Star and I (at the very least, he even banned himself over this issue) have moderated people over this rule before in that thread, and others, so it is being moderated in a uniform fashion to my knowledge.

Perhaps it is something which needs reviewing, however. The definition of spam is a tough one, however, and if you could post everything in the one post (say, several replies in a row) then, yeah, it should be done in one post. That's just my opinion however, in some occasions (from you, for example, where you're posting news) it's more acceptable. All down to context, and perhaps on this occasion it was a bit extreme. As I said, I've already discussed this with Slade however.

The problem with replying to several people in one post is that only the first user you quoted will actually be notified of the quote, while the others wont know, unless they randomly decides to read every post in a random thread. This was proved in your birthday thread.

This is a good point. When a thread has a lot of unread posts I usually just skip to the latest one unless I know I've been quoted somewhere then I just use CTRL+F on each page.
