I, personally don't think that forcing people to post is a very good idea. Every other site I have seen do this it always ends up with people posting random shit, without even reading the previous comments. But hey that's just me.

If you don't like it, you'll welcome to leave the site at any time. As I've explained many times before, I would rather have a smaller forum with members that actually post, than a large forum where no one posts.

You've missed my point entirely

and I agree with you it is better to have the smaller community which participates, but the last thing you want is hundreds of leachers posting shit in your forum, and clogging up the discussions, just to get their 10 posts!

Hence, the no "Spam" rule. Or did not you  that? 

If anyone posts "shit" that is considered to be spam, they are warned about it. I like to go by the three strike rule. You get three chances to clean up your  act. If you fail to clean up, then you're OUTTA HERE!

I did read the rules,

but that dosn't mean that spammers will

That is when the three strikes rule will come into play. The G-mods and I will warn those that do spam. Once they've broken that rule three times, they're gone for a week.

Well according to rule 34 A): If it exists there is porn of it. B) If it exists someone somewhere has a fetish for it. And rule 35: If ti exists but there is no porn of it, then someone will eventually make porn of it. So yes it is possible that someone has a fetish for spam... both the lunch food spam and the internet spam.

A. porn factor:   i do not consider it porn, however, if someones grandmother happens to view the site, i'm pretty sure they would call it porn. in that case, the opinions of the majority, or people whom we find of importance have a greater impact on how we see it classified.
B. 10 posts:   i do find it hard to post on the small amout of topics. true enough, i can create my own but it can still be a little repeatative.

Do we get eechi scnes in here + desperation?

No.  It is strickly desperation.  Though considering when I replied, you may already know that.

I think the real problem is that the mods have a very strict idea of what constitutes spam. I had all my posts deleted, even though they were relevant to the topics

[iamthepwnerer]

Whn will you realise that you;re driving people away by being too harsh with the rules. None of my posts were short setences, if i agree with what someone has already said, i have three options

1 - don't post as they;v already said it

2- post it again regardless

3- let them know that agree with them, so they feel backed up

I know you;d rather have me do 1 or 2, but at least with 3 you get a general feel for how people view issues

[FallenStar]

When will *you* realize that bitching and whining and moaning only serve to turn the mods against you in the first place? Dude, if your posts were deleted, it was because one of us deemed them as spam.  You can either like it or lump it.  If you don't like it, there's the door, my friend.   -------------------->

On another forum I visit we have a similar "relevant and constructive" rule for posts. We don't enforce it so strongly, but it is there and posts are deleted every now and then.

I also felt that the rules here were significantly more restrictive than most forums at first, but really, it's not that big a deal. Don't post unless you have something of value to say. I haven't had any of my posts deleted, and I can't say I've had to make a concerted effort to make sure they were good.

It's not good if you have to force a community.

The cops do just that. Without law enFORCEment, people would be killing each other, looting; the country would resemble a tribal African society run by the guy with the biggest guns.
