Solution - Make the rule a written one.

Exactly. Change the name, add rules etc.

No. I didn't mean that literally. Changing spam to something else and making new rules won't do anything beneficial.

John, spam is named spam because we are special. Other forums call it forum games. Because that is what it is. Forum games. Nothing special. But they also dont have random crap floating around it because there are rules there. Hard rules.

But what makes this forum special? What sets us apart from other forums? Its the spirit. The community. How things are done here. RP is an element that makes spam spam. Spam dosen't mean you randomly post things here you know...

Spam means that this is a place where you can have fun. Where you can relax in between ticks. When all past rivalries in the game end. Spirit is what makes spam. and RP is essential to that spirit. You wouldn't know it but back when RP was part of spam, we were active and we were plenty.

And I'll leave that for you to consider.

Oh I could bring back all the threads that we used to have. The rules on the first post are the rules for the thread. If you want to do mindless spamming, random chatting, you can go elsewhere.

Idk about anyone else, but I think Spam RP section could follow something like this...

As for regular Spam, I think it should stay the way it is. Perhaps some minor tweaks, but no huge drastic changes. Lest we lose many threads that simply cannot follow this idea.

Chat thread was created for random post ya know...

Also, Im quite sure most threads can be morphed easily. KoTH for example. Most threads back then were games mixed with RP elements.

And dawn, you see, the thing Im against is the idea of Spam and Spam RP. That should not be the case. Spam should include Spam RP by default. Spam RP must be part of spam. it must be intergrated into it. Much like how the game must be intergrated with the forums.

To be honest I don't even know why there's a Spam RP section. Don't ask me.

RP's go in the spam boards themselves. Yes, Ik a lot of our games have RP elements to them.

What if someone comes here, just wants to post a random topic? Oh my, I'm either going to have to add an RP element, or shove it into Misc.? So now all those random topics that we dont' know where to put go in Misc.?

No. Im just saying that Spam should be steered in that direction so when new people see it, they roughly get an idea.

Or simply stop creating and posting meaningless things.

Yes. But that may be hard to implement as its a fine line between meaningful and meaningless.

Just... put Spam RP and Spam back together. Splitting them sort of created a division.

One thing though. Get those thread bans back.

Forum rules
