exactly. That is an example of bumping a topic whilst not really contributing anything to thread.
My gash, excepting the first Abwayax's post, this topic is terrible to read…
We only have a few rules here:
[li]Don't be stupid.[/li]
[li]Keep it work safe.[/li]
[li]Don't exploit loopholes. You should know what this means.[/li]
[li]Make your posts legible and meaningful. We're not asking for anything college-level here, but please refrain from "net speak"/"AOL speak"/"txt speak". Also, posts consisting entirely of emoticons are not allowed.[/li]
[li]Do not make multiple posts in a row in one thread. If there is something you need added to a post please use the "Modify" button instead.[/li]
[li]Creative Movements and its sub-boards are exempt from this.[/li]
[li]Role Plays is also exempt from this, but please do not do this in excess.[/li]
[li]Do not post in topics that are over 4 months old, unless there is significant reason to do so.[/li]
[li]Stickies, by their nature, cannot be "bumped" and thus are exempt from this rule.[/li]
[li]In general "significant reason" means actual new content relevant to the topic, or recent news concerning said topic. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis by moderators and administrators.[/li]
That's really it. Use common sense, and you won't get banned. There are some other things you should know:
- We are not recruiting staff for the forums, website, or IRC channel. Do not ask for a staff position.
- Swearing is allowed. Don't like it? Go somewhere else then.
We hope you enjoy your stay at Glitch City Laboratories Forums.

[li]We expect proper English from all members, with the exception of people who show an obvious difficulty in typing the English language. Do not use shortcuts or pointless abbreviations. "Pok?mon" is always "Pok?mon" ("Pokemon" is acceptable too) - never "pokes", "pkmn", or "pkm", for example. "to" is always "to", "too" is "too", never "2". "You" is "you", never "u". "People" is "people", never "ppl". Capitalize words that are supposed to be capitalized (anything in the beginning of a sentence and the pronoun "I"). "It takes too long to type" is NOT a valid excuse. If you don't want to spend time writing proper posts, do not post at all. Lazy people are always the first to go when the banhammer drops. In addition, please refrain from "net speak"/"AOL speak"/"txt speak". Also, posts consisting entirely of emoticons are not allowed.[/li]
[li]Moderators are authorized to remind members to use proper English and may edit posts in order to prod users who do not.[/li]

There was discussion either in the exclusive board or in the admin/mod board that led back to this.
These rules actually allow us to edit peoples' posts to "prod" them to fix their grammar. I don't see us doing that, of course.

It might be better to just delete them, as people tend to find their post being edited much more offensive than if it was deleted.
I believe that the preceding poster is a spammer. Just look at his sig.
