To be taken into consideration
alright seriously... mods i really ask you to reconsider, we had built a community there and lots of people honestly were just coming back for spamgrounds. it's unfair to punish us because SoF was racist, you'll notice nobody approved his racism and lots of people actually criticized him for it and told him to stop, (myself, parrot, kneecap, mojo etc.)
as for making sure the spam doesn't spread... that's something we will work on, just issue someone like an instant ban for a day or so if they post some spam-like material outside of the spamgrounds.
honestly spamgrounds was one of my favorite things about this forum..and if you get rid of spamgrounds, then what is gonna happen? people are just going to put their more "unintelligent" or not really important posts in general discussion, and then when those people start getting banned and stuff, the entire forums will just be a vapid, empty lifeless forum.
because that's one of the things that makes this forum so interesting is the amusing, unimportant and nonrelevant things we have to say, that's where the conversation starts. there NEEDS to be a place for flamewars (where everyone is mostly just joking around anyways). there needs to be a place where we can enjoy a lax setting.
and if no new people could look at the spamgrounds, and people were EXPLICITLY warned before entering spamgrounds... what's the problem? as long as we make sure it doesn't leak, (Which we will... i promise that if you could make me a Mod of JUST spamgrounds or maybe red crayon or another elder, we will act responsibly and keep it in one place)
i don't know, i was pretty dissapointed to see it gone, it really is where some of the best/funniest conversations have ever taken place on these boards. i'm sad to see it gone. Mods please consider my post, as i have been a member of the PVK community for 7 years or so, and i really would like to see at least like a second chance delivered.
i don't understand... were people complaining about spamgrounds or something? because if people don't like it.. why don't they just not "enter" it... don't read the posts and don't comment on them? like i said... the only real problem i could see is it leaking, but if given a second chance we will ensure this never happens again.
Comments
Sorry if it's not as fun having rules, but I'd prefer our site and forums to be both respectable and enjoyable to visit for everyone.
and I made some sort of remark where I stated something to the nature of "this thread could die if a moderator chose to lock it or something."
Well, it's kinda dead now. What a kooky coincidence, don't you agree?
AND NO, I'm not the one who forced them to close spamgrounds. It provided me a great way to relax and lose some stress after studying in the library for 5-6 hours after a day full of classes.

Or dealing with people in general all day. It was a nice departure.
SPAM CANNOT BE DENIED
this forum is a vapid, lifeless place.
"actually there was a study that if u stare at tits for like 10 mins its equivilent to like running for half a mile or something like that"
doomsiren just explained that
Other mod-forums can also survive the gaps between updates/releases without excessive spamming.
OTHER mods yes. But this mod...no. Simply because it takes so damn long for the new patch to arrive. The gap between updates here is huge and i do not want to wait for it by talking about pvk2 wich has nothing to talk about right now.
You're acting like you cant talk about things in there..

cmon' scurvy, we still love ya at the ole spamgrounds.
the rotting carcass attracts flies like us!
Warning.
What exactly can we talk about in General Discussion?
Our interests? I'm assuming that refers to all those PVKII related, as it would be slightly odd to have a thread discussing the various highlights of another mod.
Our thoughts on PVKII? That doesn't even need it's own thread, I can sum it up in six words: When does Beta two come out?
Politics? You should know how dangerous a notion that is. Religion and Politics are the two biggest subjects you don't bring up if you want civility.
Any suggestions for what I left out?

Epic.
Anyways, now we got our own serious spamgrounds over at http://www.spamgrounds.net/, so all is good
You mean "The orc" and the 1 day ban i gave him today?
He had several warnings before this, because of his endless spamming and bumping of old threads,
so i gave him a ban for just 24 hours.
So, whats wrong in your opinion?
keep up the good work, then.
