The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
With SR growing this is understanding, but this always isn’t the reason.
Son of Liberty has already written 3 topics today, more have been written in one day but this is an example that I found today!
I think you should make either a rule were your only allowed one post a day on each forum.
And stress the fact to use the console forums more like the DC one or the Ps2 one.
AS many topics are written in chat just about 1 console!
Son Of Liberty has written a topic strictly about the PS2, this should be posted in the PS2 forum, as it is just about PS2.
The amount of topics is getting very annoying and boring.
I for one think that the majority of FOG would prefer this idea than the Chat forum to be littered with many topics, mostly rubbish.
It is very doubtful that this well be agreed but you should also think about making a Newbie Prime Forum. Some Newbies try and not all are bad posters. Firebalt posted a perfect topic that is prime worthy but as he's a newbie he had to post it in chat, where it didn't get the respect it needed. This might not work because of the spamming a lot of the newbies cause, but it's worth a try. This might also minimize the topics amount in chat.

Thanks for Reading
P.S. Sorry if I offended you SOL and I don’t hate you or anything. You were just there at the wrong place at the wrong time as the saying goes, no, wait…. Never mind :)
At the time, regulars were split almost 50/50 as to whether or not it was a good idea or not.
Most people who didn't like it (myself included) eventually came to like it as they got used to it, but splitting the forums yet again is a bad idea, I think.
No matter how big your bin, you'll always produce enough rubbish to fill it!

Tony even if you disagree i'd like to hear your opninon.

That is so true. But problem - if a newbie wants to write a serious topic he has to do it on chat.
Therefore it would be better.
I'm not saying that introducing this rule will completely rule out spamming, it will minimize it if anything.
There’s a lot of serious Topics written by Newbies. These don't usually get the attention they need in chat. So a Newbie Prime Forum would be a good idea. It would also clear out the chat forum and give it a bit of space to breath.
Is it me or is Tony and other staff members on less than usual now?
