He was spamming threads because I locked his catch-all thread. The majority of them were not even really topics (Deleted now), they were just partial articles from IGN/GamesRadar. It's very obvious when someone is spamming or not.

Fair point I guess.

Over something so trivial as a forum thread. I don't understand.

Yeah, it's all silly really. Everyone just needs to calm down. It was a catch-all thread just like the convo thread, there's no denying that. If we don't need an Off Topic thread in the Off Topic sub-forum, we don't need a Game Discussion topic in the Game Discussion sub-forum.

Deiviuxs didn't commit a bannable offense by posting those threads, that's not spamming. You wanted us to post a separate thread for the different things, he was just posting the news. So, now you're just not doing your job, and you are committing a bannable offense by banning a user for no reason.

Pretty much this. Deiviuxs was just doing what you wanted us to.

You two obviously didn't read my reply from earlier:

Stop with the "obviously" high and mighty bullshit please.

Did you or not? Because if you did you wouldn't have had to question it.

[Ronthis the Werewolf]

I read it just fine, and as I said, you are wrong. They were gaming news, and you said that gaming news needs their own threads.

Sorry, but everything you are saying goes against what you have already said in the past, you are being hypocritical.

The threads were deleted, as was mentioned.

I know, why the fuck are you telling me this.

[Daemon]

Avoiding as much conversation and explanation as possible.

I am perfectly capable of reading. Sounds like exactly what you're telling us to do.

[Ronthis the Werewolf]

Avoiding as much conversation and explanation as possible.

Heh, yeah I figured so.

Face it SP, you dug your grave and there's no backing out on this one. Sorry.

And shrink your fucking sig.

You know, it wouldn't be too hard to tell us what "spam threads" deiviuxs posted to help you try to explain it to us.

And please don't just say "partial articles from IGN/GamesRadar".

This is ridiculous, Deiviuxs was not spamming. The time he has been here he has done nothing but try be helpful (to my knowledge). He posts a few things out of place and you ban him. As someone said before get off your high horse, unban Deiviuxs and leave it be.

Yes, plus there is a 3 strike rule, spamming is only 1 strike. That isn't even spamming anyway.

[GrahamZ]

Okay, so what you are saying is he has to copy and paste all the text from an article into the forum instead of posting a section and linking people to the source?

Sure this was a bit persistent but we have both been here the same length of time mate we know this is not a bannable offence. People have gotten away with much worse. At most this is a warning.

[Spiderpig24]

Spamming threads has always been a bannable offense.

[GrahamZ]

This wasn't spamming. This was persistent news, which someone should have mentioned to him. I really do not see nothing wrong with this.
