I am a very silly boy, and in future I will click either here , here, or even here when I am requesting cheats, and I will stop making countless threads asking for help.

Once again, I offer my apologies. Especially to Chaos :P

That's not the point. Whoever modded the first post shouldn't be a mod.

Why? I think he was right, even the rules agree:

[I]Do not spam - Spamming is unnecessarily filling our forums full of pointless posts that serve no purpose to anyone. This includes posting the same message over and over again, posting countless Threads on the same subject and replying to people's posts purely to boost your word count. Anyone who is found to be excessively spamming will be warned and will have their posts deleted. If they continue, they will be banned.

I think its fairly obvious what FM's point is, Chaos. The post might be classified as spam, yes. However that doesnt mean the moderators should then edit it to make fun out of the poster. Its clear the original post wasnt intending to spam, a simple post asking if he could keep all his pokemon posts in 1 topic was more than sufficient.

Alright, perhaps I was a bit harsh and I shouldn't have made fun, but it really annoys me that 10 of the top 12 threads in the Nintendo section are all about people asking for Pokemon cheats. We don't need lots of repetitive threads with one line with people saying 'How do I get this HM?' or 'What level does this Pokemon evolve?' etc.

We had a PokeTalk thread created, and I'm happy to help people with Pokemon Diamond and any other game they're having trouble with in that thread, so it would be better if everyone kept Pokemon related talk in there, please.

So you want everyone who has Pokemon related talk to visit the site, see a 'please help' thread, check it to make sure it's the right thread for Pokemon related talk, see that it's an apology thread, but continue to read through it just in case, then see your request for all Pokemon related talk to go in unspecified there?

I see.

I'd rather new users clicked on the stickied thread, entitled 'New Posters Please Check Here Before Posting', and looked at a Gamefaq Walkthorugh (I think GP already gave him a link) instead of making four threads in 2 days asking for Pokemon Diamond help.

I'd rather new users pay me £50 before they post anything at all personally.

A spot of tolerance wouldnt go amiss you know. Lets face it, we're not exactly overwhelmed with threads here. I'm fairly sure we can all cope with the trauma of a few extra threads.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Impressive control panel
