If you don't have anything useful or nice to say then don't say it at all
Read the rules for heavens sake, http://shoutbox.menthix.net/rules.html
Seriously, numerous members have left because of the increasing amount of spam on this place and the fact people are making useless replies to help requests and providing wrong information. People have left because they don't like the attitude of people here.
Flaming, abuse or any other kind of related action will result in an instant 24hour ban from me
Right now i'm going to enforce a new "policy" of mine. You spam the first time (ie 2 reported posts from you), you get one warning. Spam again its a 24 hour ban with an email sent to you explaining why. Spam again after that it becomes a week. Eventually you'll just be banned.
Now, if you post warez, you'll be banned right away. If you flame another member, well you'll possibly be banned right away too.
These wont be the actions of all of the moderators, but of me, unless they decide to adopt this idea too.
It gets on my nerves that I come here wanting to read threads/post and I spend half my time dealing with reported posts, bad reputations and everything else. It also shits me to death when people are spamming and i'm tyring to read "real" threads and posts.
Great !
Basically, if you dont know how to help in a help wanted thread, dont post.
If you are not sure about how to help, same thing.
If proper help was given already, dont post it a second or third time. So please, read what already been said.
If you cant say something nice about a person, dont post. (no flamming, theres been a awful lot of it lately).
And yeah, I delete lotsa posts, so if you dont follow these basic rules, dont come and complain i deleted some of your posts
