Thats nothing new. As soon as you do something that somebody doesn't like they turn on you.
The system for pointless posting works slightly different to other rules. You will start off with PM's for all of your pointless posts, however if it gets to the point where you've made 10 pointless posts in a day or two then you will be put onto a caution. The caution lasts 2 to 3 days and can be reduced or extended depending on how you behave while on the caution.

the other day sam me and laura all posted off topic and it was just moved to a privbate forum lol
hxf staff: germany
hxf members: britain
i used to put the names of my favourite singers here... then i realised nobody cared
But my point is, is a one word on topic post any better than a longer off topic post? To me, they both seem equally valid for 'pointless posting'.
I mean, Skandair got warned for saying 'Alone' in the Who do you go shopping with thread? But Emily didn't get warned for saying 2011 in the 'When were you last in an Ambulance'.
So even if we only include short on-topic answers, some people get warned, others don't.
does sam get a pm?

@Samanfa; sorry for bullying u

I moved these because it was about two pages of off topic posting and rather than leaving them all there and editing each one, I removed the negative atmosphere from the thread.
I'd disagree, if we enforced pointless posting for posts like that, those threads essentially become dead. When I quote other people and reply to them, I always find it stupid to put at the end of my post:
Even though I already said that in my first post in the thread. Just seems silly.OT; I go bed at midnight
You're right here. There should be some consistency in the way posts are edited, but at the moment nobody seems to know what is pointless and what isn't. It's difficult to revise the rules because we could end up with problems either way.But my point is, is a one word on topic post any better than a longer off topic post?
