...as a matter of fact...it isn't.

I just read the forum rules in their entirety, and replying to spam is not a 2 point infraction. It is stated that if you reply to spam by saying something involving the mods or the rules, then and only then is it a 2 point infraction. This means that most of the members banned last night were all given infractions for a rule they did not break. These bans were explained by saying the rules are at the top of the page, but it turns out that didn't justify it at all. I think some things should be reconsidered in light of this.

"If a topic is spam, or it was posted in the wrong forum, DO NOT post anything along the lines of The Moderators for the room will take care of it"


The grammar for that sentence sucks, but you know what it means :p

Yes, thank you for interpreting OUR rules for us.

Replying to Spam has ALWAYS been 2 points and will remain such. Just because your friend was banned due to breaking the rules doesn't mean we will relax it for him.

Seriously, instead of making posts about this either discuss it with the mod in question or please refer to Forum Disputes.
