I do understand mmowned has a set of site rules, as well as individual forum rules. My issue is with the way they are enforced. This plague of countless useless / repost threads and blatent rule breaking seems to be spreading like wildfire. Here recently it has caused much turmoil in the shoutbawx, as ranking senior members of the site are becoming infected with the "lets make even more pointless / repost threads" & dramatic flame wars. Something needs to be done as i can only imagine what the excess garbage is doing to not only the servers but the staff whos jobs it is to manage it.
My suggestion: Along with site rules, penalties need to be added for acts of disobediance and disrespect to the site rules. Everything from warning to permabans. THEN these punishments need to be enforced. I do believe the higher rank members should suffer stircter punishment for disreguard to the rules, then say leechers and new members, as they should know the rules and should follow them.
I know im most likely going to get a response about the staff is doing the best they can blah blah blah. But i do feel if a stricter punishment system was inplaced, made public knowledge along with the rules, and throughly enforced it would make the workload for the staff much easier. This also inturn would cut down on people blatently ignoring the rules (i.e. crap posts, failure to use search function, flaming, etc.).
My 2 cents,
