    Read the RULES

    in short:
    2. Do not spam. We do not allow (except in spam forum):
    - Overuse of emoticons.
    - ALL CAPS.
    - Giant fonts or needless formatting.
    - Replies totally irrelevant to the original topic.
    - Replies with less than 5 words.

    Also no mods have been on since you joined, secondly just pm a mod or admin if you have any questions.

    I said JNR Mods who try to act like Mods. That still doesn't answer anything though.

      If you want to write a topic that has no point to it, then put it in Spam and Testing. If you have a topic about world news or something like that then you would put it in Off Topic. And if you wanted to do a poll, for example What is your favorite food, something like that would go in off topic as well. Do you understand now?

        There is no such thing as a Jr. Moderator on this forum. Just rule hounds that tell you what to do, such as I ... Sorta. >>;;

        Spam is a post that is not relavent to the topic at hand. It would be spam if you were to post in the Off-Topic forum in a topic about ice cream, and you talked about dogs with nothing to do w/Icecream.

        Spam may also be posts that are under 6 words without reason. You're not allowed to post anywhere (Aside from the Spam/Testing Forum) with, for example a simple "..." Or an emoticon.

        Another form of Spam could be a topic that is already been made, and is a duplicate. Or a topic placed in the wrong forum. A topic about a TV show you like doesn't belong in the literature section.

        What is also against the rules is reviving an old topic (About 2+ weeks since the last post) without a good reason. You're not to revive a topic to laugh at something funny someone said, unless you have something new to give to the topic.

        I hope that cleared things up for you.

          It doesn't matter what others say about the rules as they don't hand out punishments.

          Spam to me, is:

          -Posts are off-topic
          -Posts that don't fully explain or answer a question
          -Posts that are useless (This can also be off-topic). Things like "google it", etc are useless.

          That's about it. Post constuctively (stay on topic and help answer or explain a question) and you will be fine 99.9% of the time.h

            PDM, he means that a JR mod is a poser mod, not a specific group.

            Spam can also be posts that are hardly able to be read, or that make little sense. If you post "omg! luk at tht dood ovr threr!" then that's spam.
