There should be no need for this to be mentioned but there have been a lot of nonsense posts in Osiris Games forums(Bestseller, Chart Wars, Game Biz etc.)
It's not fair if developers are looking through threads for suggestions among hundreds of "lols" and other rubbish.
It's also unfair if people can't find help for games because it's hidden under a pile of "i have more posts than u" and the like.
Postwhoring to a degree is fine in the General Discussion forums as long as you don't get too stupid or abusive. We all do it there, myself included. Just keep it there. wink.gif

From now on, if I see any post that is wasteful and doesn't contribute in any way towards the topic I will warn you immediately, and if already warned, it will lead to a suspension.

I think these rules are fair enough though I'm expecting a deluge of complaints nonetheless.

Mod preview before suspension remember.

and surely it doesn't have to contribute towards the topic (all the time) as long as it's at least worthwhile (amusing, interesting, etc).

Don't want to get too draconian. and anyway, shouldn't this be every forum EXCEPT general?

aye, but "lol" isn't exactly worthwhile. Shouldn't have come across so harsh but each case will be judged on its merits.

Yeah I know what you mean, really annoying when you have to scroll past loads of crap to get to what the topic is actually about (or at least a good post).

Mod preview's such a drag though. It's more trouble than it's worth.

I agree with it as well.

I've tried to do this myself, as a general guideline, but sometimes I admit, I have succumbed to postwhoring in the Games topics from time to time though, so I'll be glad to see that eliminated from those more serious parts of the board

Yeah, like for example if the conversation gradually shifts into another direction that isn't exactly related to the topic, it should be okay.

EDIT: Thought you meant every one except for "General Discussion" when you actually meant everything under "General", so I went on a rant.

Nah, this is restricted to the games development forums. The general discussion topics are best when they go off topic.

If you quote someone and your post goes off topic then you should just open a new topic(in general discussion.) and paste the quote in there.


Ain´t that a brilliant idea?
