This is the problem:

It is the intention of the majority of people on the forums to keep good standards. If you post ludicrous drivel then you ENCOURAGE those standards to decline. Before you know it people like khazar will be swearing and fighting and the whole place will disintegrate into a mess.

That's why I said I would never run another competition like WASSUP WABBIT.

When I get to work today I will delete whole threads full of spam. I don't want to spend my time doing this. I have better things to do.

The only one place where spam is tolerated at present are the worlds longest thread attempts. If necessary we will take those down too.

Argumentative factions are certainly not welcome on this site if they go beyond an acceptable level of banter. This would not be allowed even in the worlds longest threads.

People of all ages are welcome here. If we cannot control the forums then they will be protected by installing qualification. Then anybody could be barred from the main forums if they degrade the place, until they work their way back up to qualification.

Would everybody here please accept that good standards must be achieved across the board in order for the forums to remain an enjoyable place.

People have made their opinions VERY clear.

(Tony, can you put my FAD win on the filmaday site please? I've gotta go away soon and i'd like to claim it before i go. If you could that'd be great. Thanks.)

Thanks for saying that Tony, I may have been spamming last night but we have decided that we would 'put the lid back on the can of spam and throw it in the bin'

The Spam Squad has been dissolved and now the forum is at peace

Yeah sorry Tony....

I admit I was the person that made T.S.Q...

But I must emphasize the fact that it was just a bit of fun that went wrong...

and was never intended to offend anyone..

What is it with you guys. I've seen one post from khazar and it contained a four letter swear word. The guy is banned. We don't want him here. We REALLY don't want him here.
