New Rule..

Subject: New Rule.. July 23rd 2009, 4:57 pm

Ok, CPP, I have seen alot of this these past few weeks and I believe there should be a rule added to stop it.
I guess you can call it "Pointless Posting"
For instance, people post a request for a design and someone posts, "Im not a good designer, sorry." Then i say to myself, then why are you posting? If you cant help this person in anyway, dont post. If your doing it for post count, post count doesnt matter. Its all on how well your individual posts are. Count means nada. :P But anyway, CPP Staff, you should really start to crack down on this because I find it annoying and its pointless. Almost like SPAM. But not really. XD

It's called Spam.

Well I guess you do have a point but it's exactly like spam.

Not really. It's not off-topic it's just unnecessary.

So we should add a new rule called, "Pointless Posting?" When spam means:
Stupid
POINTLESS
Annoying
Messages.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.

OH, I was actually going to post that about a week ago after I locked a thread due to that. Thanks for reminding me!

We should spam this rule in Linky's PM.
