You do understand that there are off-topic threads for that reason right? For people to go off-topic on a subjest and also spam as much as they want to, because this is the purpose of them.
When someone is trying to have a serious conversation about serious game-related situations and once just drops in to leave a comment in one sentence that has no value at all and interupts the conversation then That I mark it as spamming. Look at threads like the War topics, or alliance matters topics such as the Caretakers issue which is more recent. I have seen posts in there with no real purpose, with no serious arguments and yes those I consider them as spam.
I give my full support to all Moderators and Admins of this forum because they are trying to have a clean forum which makes sence when reading the topics and people (who I will not mentioon their names, for they know who they are) just come in, leave a comment just to say something inrelavent or without value or just get one more counted topic.
As far as I am concerned, all my posts have a purpose in each thread I put them. I am staying in character even in the forums, maybe I am one of the few who do it, but this is who I am. I know when to speak off-topic somewhere and when I need to speak in character. This is also why we have seperated threads, don't we. I only wish more people would do it.
P.S.: I do miss the old forum, the one I was reading a year ago. People would stay on topic, making reading and understanding easier.
P.S.2: End of ranting... for now.
