@TAlonMan

He's proving a point. He obviously felt that he agreed with the OP and instead of writing a long drawn out idea that essentially said the same thing, he mearly brought the OP back to the front of the discussion.

That's the point and a good use of QFT.

All I am arguing is that the 4 word limit is just too much. Instead it should just be that if the mod deems your recent behavior as spam you will be warned/banned depending on the circumstances and your history. It really rather simple.

If you've got a problem, bring it to a head mod like me or stof.

I don't ever want a 4 word limit or anything like that...even if it's instated into the forum's code, people will type "4 more words" or something along those lines to make the limit.

Spamming is context-sensitive...I'll judge whether or not it's ban-worthy, and if you've got a problem with a mod's or my decision, we can bring it to ioi.

I think that TalonMan has said all that needs to be said on the subject of the rule IF the other mods concur.

But I want to add that weezy should not have been banned for posting a picture based on this rule -- because a picture can be worth a thousand words!

Seriously, pictures that contribute to the thread should be exceptions to the word limit, just like QFT can be when used sparingly and sensibly. (I have not heard anyone dispute that weezy's picture was relevant to the topic/discussion.)

(I just looked at what I think is the thread in question and I am quite surprised that weezy was banned and not all the people quoting his picture with 2-3 word comments! Assuming that they weren't banned ... )

That's interesting news. I guess ioi has his priorities in line with what you are reporting. I would like to see the rules updated before ioi adds new features. But that's just me. Something like:

3. ♦  Spamming is a bannable offence. Use common sense. Spamming will result in a warning and then a ban. Repeated use of responses that are four words or less will result in a warning and then a ban.

You state that "complaining about minor issues" will in some way delay this week's numbers. Is this true?

Well, technically the code to post a picture is much longer than 3 letters with the [/img] tags and all..........

There was no mocking intended, and in any other context, I would not have been able to make the point I made by posting that. 

I got a ban for just putting "lol" i think (nothing else). Was supposed to be a 3 day ban i think, but they let me off the hook after just 1 day.

Leo-j reported me, i know that because he wrote on my profile "hahha i reported you". Justice was served though, he is currently having like a 9 month ban.

Ah yes. Curruption... The perfect word for this situation

Wow... I applaude you guys for not being follower's and im glad you guys are sticking up for me.

Earlier what happend was complete BS. I could really give a shit I got banned,(Spam?! LOL? Reset my post count! I dont give a shit how many posts I have or vg$) But this was totally uncalled for.

SSJ12 has not liked my personality from day one.
When a past poster would be BLANTANTLY ripping ssj12 a new asshole. (Real trolling is what I would like to call that.) I try to have his back on forums 100% ...
But, for some reason he really gets off on banning me...It seems hes the only Mod who would ban weezy for being "weezy".

"Being 'weezy'? What the fuck are you talking about Gary?"

For example.. Most of the time all I do is crack jokes and try and make ppl laugh! In some peoples eye's i'm a total loser. (LOL)
Ive been weezy since I started up on this forum since April of '07
He stated he warned me earlier? that Warning was BS. I was warned for saying...
"crazyman wishes he was ken kutargi's mistress".

How is that a "troll" comment? Is crazyman not the most hardcore ps3 fan? I was being funny.

BTW im just glad this BS situation got straightend out and I hope ssj12 doesnt try to pull a quick one anymore.

I lol'd at the mistress comment. Literally.

 Oh Weezy, we're all losers here.
