SHUT THE FUCK UP

Let me make that clear:

etc, etc, are not funny. They are not humorous. They are a distraction, a juvenile nuisance, and it's going to get you banned from here on out.

A few members have found themselves bored of repeat topics by new people. They are jaded by the games, or just think there is little that hasn't already been said or done. They are taking joy in the art of annoying, derailing, insulting, and generally causing havoc in threads others make in earnest. I've been getting complaints of this type of behavior from the top members all the way to the newbs.

It's going to stop, and if that means a few of you end up getting removed from the site, then that's how it's going to stop.

Whilst I dont disagree that stopping this is a good idea I also think it begs the question "is this going to stop people derailing, flaming or generally making ass's of themselves in threads?" and I think we all know that it wont.

Maybe not, but it's fair warning that we're taking a harder line against this type of behavior now.

That's been tried. Several times actually, and they've all been closed/deleted. And I'm thankful for that.

Plus, they have a freaking website.

Still ok to post them here, right?

Of course.

This topic is a warning. The warning is that if you continue to do nothing more than post pointless junk in otherwise relevant and meaningful threads, whether that junk is in image or text form, you will no longer be welcome on the bf2s.com forums, as per the rules that you have all agreed to uphold by signing up to the forums in the first place.

Emphasis mine.

I don't mind when people post affirmatives, actually. That's not a overall negative impact on the thread. I also don't mind disagreement -- but it's got to be for more than just the act of disagreeing.

That's fine, because there you aren't destroying anything nor are you devaluing the thread. In fact, I think this thread should be stickied so members have a place to post these pictures.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Yeah it can be a sumping ground for the tashcat, fuck its been posted so many times its lost all meaning.

So Chuy, does this mean that these pics CAN NOT be posted in threads that have a meaning?

They can't be used to derail threads.

you can't use a derail pic to derail threads, so where does that fit in?

half the time, the derail pics get threads back on track, anyway.

After the responses, maybe we might delete all these posts and make it a locked sticky. There is NO DEBATE! If you derail a thread with this juvenile crap, then you will be punished.

Chuy,

While your on the subject of banning the posting of certain pics, ie, LOLCATS any chance you can put a ban on the posting of pics containing disabled children? (or adults for that matter). I can't see how these pics can be constructive in anyway.

Thank god you didn't put a ban on threads with bad spelling as that would of been the end of me.
