Pics in signatures
Some members have been PMd because the pictures in their signature are so large that I consider them distracting. Those who either didnīt act accordingly have another 24 hours to change their sig. So if you have a large pic in your sig and suddenly receive a warning for a randomly chosen harmless post you know where itīs coming from.

Spamming
I noticed an increasing number of off topic posts over the last few weeks. We have an own forum for birthday wishes, etc.
It seems to be time (again) to become a bit more restrictive. From now on senseless babbleing will be deleted. If the resulting decrease of your post count pushes you below 500 posts - which results in the loss of your custom avatar - itīs your own problem.

Please post in the correct forum!
The last time I counted we had 18(!) moved threads on page one in Gothic General. Only 4 people were responsible for most of them. Mistakes can happen, but users who continue wasting the moderatorsī time by forcing them to repeatedly spend minutes moving obviously misplaced threads will have to learn it the hard way.

So what happens if we drop below 500 posts? We go back to the default RPGDot avatar automatically?

Darn. Hey wait. I'm waaay below 500 posts.

Well, I've been busily deleting spam for the last few weeks and I doubt that anybody noticed .

Of course nobody noticed. You deleted the evidence.

What, exactly, constitutes spam?

Infos are in the FAQ.
To make it short: You are spamming if a moderator decides youīre spamming.

(Which is also the reason why moderators are never caught spamming. )

@TheFang: In most cases I'll just delete smilie-only posts. An action like you described, on the other hand, will in all probability earn you a warning.

I already cleaned this thread, but Jaz is of course right. Now youīve had your fun. An action like this will earn you a warning.
