The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
What we should do on the SR chat-forums, is createa 'no-go' area. This would include topics which shouldn't be spoken about, e.g. boring topics, tried-tested-and-failed topics, and anything to do with stuff which should be in other forums, e.g. "ash+misty"?, shouldn't that be in the Pokemon section? Anyway, I need all of the guys who care to place their votes now! I know you are out there because the people who come to this forum are level-headed individuals.

Yeah, I see your point. Some pointless posts are funny, some are just stupid.

Yes (or fore-warned).

Umm, you are wrong, in his top 5 PS1 games topic, he added one question mark, not three. A record topic; ONE CHARACTER LONG!!!!! wow, I wish my IQ was at his level. Heh heh:)

Oh, I see! You meant 3 question marks inside the topic! :D Sorry.
Yes, that is pointless. Just tell him to add something to his posts, and if he doesn't, then action will have to be taken.

Thanks for the compliments, but I'd have to disagree. I mean, Pocket Rocket is new. He doesn't know what topics have been done for. And asking for people's top 5 PS1 Games is fine, at least it's gaming talk! Okay, some topics he's made are pointless, but I think a Top 5 PS1 Games topic is perfectly fine.

Ahhh, but you aren't a repeat offender, and don't ignore other people's suggestions (ie. to stop spamming). Anyway, yours were funny, whereas Pocket Rockets were dumb, pointless and repeated because they've been done a million times before. Besides, you're a Notable, whereas they're just Newbies with no regard to authority. ;)

No, you shouldn't be banned...merely

But the point I'm making is, should I stop doing it? It was just a laugh, a bit of fun, and it seemed to get quite a few replies-ie. people liked it. There's nothing wrong with a few fun, pointless topics. Hell, look at this forum now. There's nothing but pointless topics.
