First, if you havent read Unixmad's post, check the moderators/administrators post area at the top of every forum
Anyway, Unixmad, sure theres off topic messages, there always will be. But deleting them/banning the player is not the solution. I mean no offense to your message, but that isnt the way to go. General forums for anything, be it games or software developement etc, will always have off topic messages.. Thats why we make them.
Take a look in the NewWorld and NPC Scripting forums, etc. You dont see much, if at all, off topic messages. Thats because we have them all in one forum; General. So, there isnt any point really to your post about banning ppl etc for off topic messages.
Say you have a new site, and you want to get some traffic there, post it in the graal general forum. Would that be so wrong?? Plus, people cant always talk on Graal, or over the forum PMs. So they turn to the forums. Then theres times when they want a general idea from people, so they make a new topic.
Plus, if the graal forums were only about graal, we would rarely get any sort of enjoyment. Half the players are considering quitting, so surfing the forums, answering newbie questions isnt they're idea of fun.
Sometimes we need a good laugh, so someone makes a pointless thread that you see everyone reply to. When u see that, turn around and look at all of the graal related threads. They rarely have over 30 posts in them unless theyre made by Stefan himself.
All this in a nutshell: You are going too far with that rule and should reconsider
I may get banned for posting this "Off topic" thread, so this may be the last time u hear from me for a while. |
