Ok, I've finally had enough of the spammish, stupid, spacky behavior of some of the forum members. To try to prevent such idiots getting the attention they crave, let me write the unwriten rules of the forum down so that those fools who encourage such spammers can take heed:

1) If there is a topic by a stupidly biased, or just plain stupid, member, DON'T REPLY. It's as simple as that. By replying you are simply pushing someone elses topic further down the page, as well as encouraging people to join in with the useless topic that has been posted. Just ignore them, PLEASE. If someone posts a thread saying "Xbox is pants" just leave it to get no replies- perhaps the writer of the topic will never return!

2) No one, regulars, notables or newbies, has a right to swear at other members, for whatever reason in the forums. It is acceptable to say that a game is "bollards", but not to say that another forum member is talking "sh". Please don't so it- your're only showing your own imaturity. Either defend your position in a debate by rational discussion, or don't post at all.

3) Obey the notables, for they are God's amoungst men.

But sonic if you post a post in a topic i THINK it goes UP the page not down so if you dont post it will go down.

We say all this now, and it's all very good, but who really likes having a go at these annoying spammers? Just having a good old rant at them really makes my day, and it's an excellent stress reliever. Hey, if things move to fast in here, you could always post in prime.

But then you would be having a go at most people on these forums..

If there is anybody who hasn't made at least one comment on the XBOX or anything else then I would be surprised!
