Howdy,
Recently, you - like me - may have noticed an annoying spate of posts consisting purely of "+1." This is stupid. And a waste of space.
Today, I decided that I was in a bad enough mood to do something about it.
Consequently, you may notice a lack of posting from our good friends
$yTHe {Ret.}
Smartin
Lacrosseian
Why, you may ask? Because I've disabled their posting access for the next week. They are free to play and read the forums, but their recent forum behavior has lost them the right to post more of their silly post-count-increasing nothingness.
Also, I knocked their post counts down to 0. I was going to make it negative, but I thought they'd probably all enjoy being special in that way, so I just zeroed it.
For the worried, including a +1 on posts is fine. But you need to also include something more than just +1.
Your Not Always so Friendly Neighborhood Admin,
Mithrandir

Bit harsh methinks.
It was in fun after all.
Far be it for me to disagree with such a senior member of the management, but i dont think it hurt anyone.

i believe i saw smartin doing +1 ONCE
i recall other players doing it way, way more...
i think if those 3 deserved it, there are people who deserve it a lot more, if not almost anyone posting in the forum...

although this is a serious matter i just CANNOT resist...
but there is also a moral in this, your not a wiseguy ingame and ALSO not a wiseguy on the forums us staff are everywhere.
we can take a joke but jokes turn sour realy fast.

I'm glad I didn't start doing that, I assumed it was a mark of appreciation or something, or if not that some RPG thing.
