Well, I'm bad at summarization, but I'll try to add something positive here...

As for the topic of spam, if it's contained in its own thread like the Emu one, I don't really have a problem with it... However, any heavy income of spam that's pointless and seems to have no end until the thread is locked can be pretty upsetting to anyone.

EDIT: The colored posts thing doesn't really bother me at all, but I don't really have anything to back this claim up, though, except my own way of thinking.

The rules, I believe, are fair enough, especially considering some other forums out there that are much more restrictive than this one. No matter how many incidents are made, a lone force cannot alter the way things are (My deepest apologies if it seemed as though I pointed a finger at someone else there... I was merely stating a lesson that I learned myself in real life, so I was really pointing at myself in that last sentence).

And as for another Moderator for the forums, it's not a bad idea, but I believe S.P.'s already doing a great job as it is.

Hey those online guys! Come view this thread AND POST WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY.
AND DT, stop that sarcasm, seriously seriously. And the fact is I already want to see this sarcasm at the wrong place stopping. Some are not that wise(which includes me) so we may fail to get the point. And I probably failed to get your point.

is not

I would propose a penalty for spamming (such as losing 10% from your post count if you get caught spamming or trolling) or a greater limit to the number of posts you can make in one topic in one session (I mean, 30 seconds can stop flooding, but not spam. Make it at least 2 minutes.)

While, DT, I can appreciate you position, I did state what I wished to see changed.

Additionally, I would like to see the addition of a "Can of Spam" subforum to the forums, on where we can have 50,000,000 topics about the time my cat attacked the lawnmower and won or whatever.

If the solution is to change a person, you need a better solution.

Peace.

Good news everypony!

We already have the Satellite Lounge which is your "Can of Spam" section.

@ DB: No you didn't. I am sorry but you don't seem to reading what it is I'm saying. This thread is about finding out what other users don't want to see, NOT POSTING "SOLUTIONS" TO THEM BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN DEFINED.

@ Freezit: If you want me to get your point then please be specific okay, I am not very good at reading between the lines when they aren't obvious :|
No offense meant.

@ Bad Beholder: FUCKING THANK YOU DUDE. I appreciate you have tried to make an effort. But could you please be more specific? Is there stuff you yourself see happening on the forums that you would prefer if it didn't happen?

@DT One comment, colours ain't the point at all in here. unless the rules forbids it, we may colour. Only you dislike it, sry.

Um... Well now... Uh... This is not true... You see, I am using the CS lite skin and have been for some time now, and pink REALLY gets on my nerves, you know? I'm getting a migrane trying to read it normally and it gets annoying having to highlight every other post, and that's just MS, let alone the rainbow! >.< Plz this is driving me up a wall and I aggree with DT on this one plz stop plz.

Oh.
*Click*
I see now.
Though don't toss those aside just yet.

Anyways, there really are only 2 things on the forum that irritate me:

First, the bumping of a topic with anything along the lines of "Oh, that's how you do X" or whatever (Granted, I have don't this once or twice, and I won't try to justify it..."

Second, there seems to be a habit of blending topics. While this is minor, the posting of the phrase "Oh, that's just like in [ url ] WXYZ [ /url ] on the forums. Wasn't that funny? lol". That's the big one for me, as it tends to disrtact the train of thought.


Also, the one or two trolls, and the guy who thinks the forums are his personal army.

The rest of your post was excellent, thank you, but I'm going to have to ask you to be specific here if you want to see anything come of it.

It's actually a joke referencing the 3 other forums I attend... Nothing to worry over. Oh, 1 other thing: the use of "doom words", whilst funny at times, can get a little stale... Just saying.

@DB on his post of suggestions
Ok that 2nd one seems to be headed to me, so probably I'll stop doing so.(if it's really me :[ )

And I'll stop this colouring for a while until others voice out as well.

@DT I think(this is plain pointing fingers, but with some purpose) you guys started it first, this confusion thingy. Unless like Naru who already mentioned her fetish on confusing others. And maybe failure to get the point is just me alone's problem, but the same goes for that colour problem as well until Jake logged in to join the [sarcasm]fun[/sarcasm]. (see, that ain't so hard to do)
