    A little advice, TH. I saw your post count, and ecided I should check your profile out. You have 11 posts a day. Don'y post so much. Try to go no higher than 5, but even that could be considered too much.

    Well, there appears to be a double-satandard on this forum. I used to post around ten posts a day,a nd was accused of spamming for it. And Canis, I thought it was 2 days but it could have been 3 for all i knew. It's hard to keep track of time when you don't have a life.

    ... and then there's this delicate matter of post content. Just because you stay under a certain limit doesn't mean shit Wolf - what matters is what you write. Damn, if someone racks up twenty-five funny/witty on-topic posts a day, would you want to ban him for that? No, I don't think so either. On the other hand, if someone made two posts a day, all of which spammacious crap... :roll:

    Just go figure.

    DE has an excellent point, and I apologize, Wolf, for having posted so much in the first couple days. Right before posting this I checked and I was at 6.20 posts per day, and I'm going to keep it under 8, unless something *major* happens in this forum, and demands some hard-core posting, lol. I'm making sure I don't post too much, as I don't wish to get in trouble.

    Seriously, I do not care about how much you post. If you do 30 posts a day, that's great. Just make sure they're not spam, and that they contribute to the forum in some meaningful way.

    I think the 10 posts a day rule was introduced as another way to try and keep Eros Rex from spamming, because that fucker just could not understand the difference between something useful and something useless. So yeah, post all the worthwhile posts you want, none of the powers that be are going to get pissed. Just don't spam.

    Out of (genuine) curiosity, was that meant to be a joke in light of Jar's antispam advice? :/

    I know that you should be allowed to post as much as you want as long as it's useful. That was my opinion. Then Blinky said I was a spammer because of my high post count.

    Wolf, you are spammer, and only because 7 out of 10 of your messages are about how you are not a spammer (and how everybody uh, bags, you). If you stopped writing metamessages (messages about the process of writing messages) nobody would call you a spammer. So chill and stop drawing attention to yourself and everyone will like you more. Except Canis.

    Dear Dear Lupus, that may be your opinion, but you say your opionion so often, without considering the opinions of others that you've offended a majority of this forum. I don't oppose you myself, as you don't bother me, well, other than the tyme thing, and the whole Gay thing, but those will be forgotten with due time. Here is the best advice a retired Spamaholic can give: keep your posts on the point. If you can give an awesome arguement to something, the go for it. If you feel like voicing your opinion, but refuse to consider anyone elses, and deny any truth they may hold, then please, just shut up. Listen to the words of others, consider them, and then post again. I'm not telling you to shut up, or to post more. I'm saying: Put more thought and intelligence. into your posts. THAT is how you will prove to people that you have intelligence, instead of just stating that your smart. Sea Dog may back you up, but YOU need to back yourself up, but speaking with thought and intelligence. There, now that's all said and done. I've played my cards kid, play yours.

    Well, Labyrinthian, you've kinda screwed me over here. If I explain things to you that will be further evidence. Nobody considers what I say, and when I come up with a good argument you people ignore it. I don't want to get on the gay topic again, but if gay sex is so natural, why don't we all do it? I know why. It's because our species would perish. I'm not opposed to homosexuality(I shouldn't say this because it will be ignored) but I think it's unnatural. Many things we do are. Like using condoms. I said this before but it was ignored. I try to understand your opinions, but I can't. Maybe it's because you don't actually post them, but rather just flame me. I could prove that I was the smartest person in the world but it would make no difference. Besides, I don't give a shit if you call me a spammer. I could call you people spammers because you repeat yourselves and what other people say, mixed in with a few insults. The fact that I haven't been warned about banning is evidence of my not being a spammer.

    Hey, when the fuck did I say you were a spammer? Don't just throw my name around like that you shmuck, it's an insult to whoever you confused me with! How would you like it if someone said YOU acted like I do? It's not nice, so watch it.

    If you've had the can o' spam, you know that you're a spammer. Nothing to be all proud of...but with my nice history here, I was a spammer. :p

    (Still probably am =/ )

    Wolf, you just don't seem to get it do you? 10 quality posts/day are completely in order, what pisses the hell out of people is 10 posts o' spam on a daily basis. And if you do barf out enough of spam each day to cover 10 posts or more, people will hold your high post count against you. Why, was that too subtle for you?

    And yeah, I read through that thread you linked, just for the records. Hell, I even participated in it...
