hey lost, sorry about the SNL thread.
But now i know, and it wont happen again. 
It wasn’t his spelling mistake it was Flash Devils rules that he posted here to show that we are not as strict as we could be. Who decides how strict the forum will be, obviously not you or any other regular member or even the moderators, it’s all up to kirupa!
umm you got a spelling mistake in the rules.
I tried to look up ‘umm’ in the dictionary and couldn’t find it. . . .
[size=1][ EDIT: Who deleted pinx post now no one will know where I took the quote from 
][/size]
well i was trying to be nice and tell you guys that “expelt” is not a word. but if you want to be stupid, that’s fine with me.
lol… yeah lost…
When I first joined this forum i was just SHOCKED by how many threads were created that have NOTHING AT ALL to do with Flash. Not even computers or technology in general. I think anyone who calls the mods here ‘strict’ are clearly WRONG. We don’t mind a general thread every one in a while, or posting something funny, but if a memeber posts nothing but that kind of content, I as a moderator would have to warn him. There are tons of this kind of member on this forum, no need to mention names:). We even had a member who did post appropriate content, but posted too much, and he would make 3 consecutive posts instead of editing his posts. He was banned, 3 times for instance. Now that is strict.
P.S. alex-
I would appreciate it if you tell me where the typo is. Our admin is Dutch, and although his english is great, he might’ve spelled something wrong. This needs to be fixed

I only take grammer tips from people that can form a proper sentance!

pinx:
please refrain from this kind of remark. This does nothing but make you out to be immature. Do not call anyone stupid, or any other name.
Understand?
last warning to behave like the 20 yr old you are.
Rev
yes god
Good bye pinx!
You have 5 minutes to correct your statements or you are gone! Respect rev for he is a moderator and by mocking him you are mocking this forum. Disrespect towards others is something you are very good at!
but “expelt” is not a word.
pinx:
one last time.
do you want to stay here, or do you wish to post elsewhere?
your conduct is shameful in a play school, let alone at University.
Rev
ahmed: EXACTLY!
pinx: It isn’t about you pointing out “Expelt”, its about many of the statements you make/have made.

I will extend this until the end of today, but only because you are currently not online.
now i am
So then make your choice, we don’t want you to leave, but then again we are not here to put up with your disrespectful BS!
What some of the other moderators said is really good - these polls and useless threads do have a tendency to drive sane, regular members off the wall.
Here is a good test to see if there is spam - take ANY thread that is more than 1-2 pages long. Look at the topic of the FIRST post and look at the topic of the LAST post within that thread. More than likely, the topic has swerved into something that the original poster was not interested in.
When a topic gets derailed by one or two members who, instead of using AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, Private Messaging, etc., decide to have a personal chat room in someone else’s thread, THAT is a problem. THAT is spam.
In the future, think about whether a post, poll, etc. is fun or useful. There are some threads in here that are neither - just something that somebody posted that interests nobody but themselves.
Pinx - do show the mods and other members more respect. Does it really matter if a word is a word? Do you want us to go through your posts and find misspelled words, etc. =)
Cheers!
Kirupa :ub:
Well said kirupa, this should straighten out a lot of things!
just wondering, why not just make a set of [size=1]strict[/size] rules for posting?
that would be good ahmed, but i was thinking if there was a way to automatically make it so the thread closes after a member has posted over 10.
but there could also be a down side to this to…
Well ahmed, I find it wrong to punish 95% of all members for the doings of only 5%. I’d rather have an open, fun place to discuss instead of creating stricter rules. More than likely, those who spam now will probably spam with the new rules.
Cheers!

Well said Kirupa - and thank you for not enforcing some crazy posting rules on the rest of us.
Sometimes things like this need to happen to get things back in order…
