To be honest I'm not bothered by random posts placed in random threads. Other than having to click the "mark forum read" button more often if the thread moves fast.
Well then all of the current mods should make an agreement on what is right and what is wrong, because i still remember the warning that was issued to me about having asked hiryu an off topic question in the "what does the avatar above you remind you of" thread.

But in this case we're going into the field of rights of a user. And while we can agree that "this is spam", some rules apply to all sections. The thread I mentioned was made by Riz, and in the first post she defined the "rules" of "her" thread. We all know these are purely based on "gentleman's agreement" not to "trespass" another user's attempts at creating a specific thread. Occasionally it is also enforced by some mods. But hey, Fummo's thread has rules to it, and Fummo decides on the rules, so the same principle applies across the board. If you want a random thread, and you don't specify that you explicitly want/don't want something in your thread then it is by all means fair game for everyone. But if you want to make a specific thread without random people "ruining it" then I think we should have at least as much common decency to allow people to request some certain rules or limitations in their own threads.
yeah, everything you said works on the premise of rules existing
in people's own threads, and i don't disagree with that. I mean forum rules (that apply to all threads in spam) that should not exist like say
this one. Because as i said in my previous post, it was already stopping once everyone expressed disagreement on
the thread that let everyone know it was enough, there was no need to use unnecesary threats or stablish rules that would arguably punish users for making a pun thread in say five days from today. I'm sure you know what i mean, i'm just trying to say that i dislike the prospect of the additions to the "spam rules" thread adding up again. Let's trust in people realizing when enough is enough without actually punishing anyone or making threats about it.
