As many of you have probably heard, the staff has been working on writing down a complete list of rules. Our goal was to have it all in one place for both old and new members to use as a reference.
The new rules will take effect immediately but, to give people time to adjust, the staff will be a little more lenient on the newer rules (for about a week). Please take this time to skim through all the rules so that you aren't taken by surprise.
You should see a link in the navigation bar and soon the registration page but here is a link to the rules page (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?page=rules) just in case.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss improvements and/or give your opinion.

imo the excessive spamming rule shouldn't apply to playground since that's pretty much all playground is.
-
You might as well just remove playground entirely when you ban spam from the spam section.
Plus nobody would be able to say "OMG THE PLAYGROUND TROLLS ARE RUINING GTM QQ".
-
We said *excessive* spam.
Posting stupid sh** inside a thread in Playground is fine... hell if you do three pointless threads in playground no one's gonna bother you... it's just that making an overly large amount of pointless threads in a row in playground is now illegal.

but why
is it because of what ha and 090901 (i think) did?
also is excessive spam in one thread legal?

In part, yes. But there has been episodes of mass spamming in playground sometimes and we are seeking to curb down that.
Excessive spamming in one thread is illegal, though less punished that making 102 threads in a row. Though if you want specifics, ask trov.

I say remove the playground because at this rate there's absolutely nothing differentiating it and Chatterbox
-
Yeah, just remove the playground.
-
no, it still has a purpose. you can post random stupid things in playground, but not anywhere else
-

The chatterbox is for unmoderated conversation. The playground is for complete nonsense.
-
^This.
The only difference now is you can't spam loads of threads at once, make loads of threads at once, or spam a lot in one thread.

Valid Reason — Things like “’cuz he’s cool” or "'cuz he's not cool" are not valid reasons for changing someone’s reputation. If you want to change someone's rep than please say what they did to earn their "cool" or "uncool" status. The logs will be scanned on a regular basis to ensure that people are providing valid reasons for changing someone else's rep. It’s all fun and games until an administrator sees it and decides to take away your rep powers.
Why? Who even cares about the rep system?
Also I thought only people with colored names could rep, has that been changed?

Nope

When Trov did some experimenting with it about a month or two ago, he deleted it but apparently some people secretly did care about rep.

I love these new rules.
-
that is odd, playground completely died since we implemented these new rules :O

Because without spamming it's no different than chatterbox. Spamming was the only thing separating the two sections.

playzooki stop being so dense. NO ONE wants to come on this sh** when 09 or ha posted 100 threads about nothing and you have to sort through them to get to actual content. When that happens I dont even bother reading, I just wait for them to get muted and the threads to be deleted before i even try.
SO in order to stop said bullsh**, it is no longer allowed. Comprende? or are you really stupid enough to wanna keep arguing as if this is a tyranical regime forcing you to take it hourly because "muh freedoms to be a dumb"

To be honest, the only reason I even did it was for RA1's Anniversary April Fools. Hoax threads don't work, so it was just for some lulz.

I like it when people post 100 threads.
Playground is pointless without excessive spam.

exactly my opinion and exactly why this rule has been done.

I wish a tyrannical regime that takes away "muh freedoms to be a dumb" actually exist.

playground is now poke naryar with a stick, which is boring compared to what it used to be

Ah yes, because people are supposed to go to a RA2 forum and not talk about RA2. Yes. A very solid statement there.

then why do we have offtopic :dumb)
-
ITT: Playzooki argues with anybody he can.
-
Enough off-topic !
-
Did I mention something about the new rules ?
But anyway, I agree with the rules on playground, because I actually understand what is being put in place. We can still post as much nonsense as we want. We just can't spam a crapton of nonsense threads at once.

Sorry about my dumb comment. Didn't expect my spark to create a flame of idiocy.

Is there something I missed? I agree with everything you said in this thread, I don't see a spark of idiocy here.
Just a valid point.

Well playzooki is kinda going overboard with the argument so I'll just leave my opinion of let full spamming in the playground please, then back out of the thread before playzooki makes me look dumb again.

Im pretty much just gonna say let playground have spam until it happens :dumb)

And you're gonna get muted before that day comes.
Are you missing the point on purpose? It's no different than a playground at school. Hogging all of the equipment makes you look like an idiot and you'll most likely get suspended from school for doing so.

Which is why we'll never be able to excessively spam. Learn to argue a point. Your method is equivalent to running up to people on the streeet and shouting in their face.
