Its getting anoying now.
You keep moving games with this stupid excuse of its not a game.
Well you only just came up with this new rules recently so why are you moving posts that have already been made before the rule.

When it was the other way round and you removed the pointless posting rule we didn`t get infraction reversed for breaking that rule did we.

Games created in the "Forum Games" should require some level of thought/creativeness. Any pointless games that do not require any thought and are not creative are normally classed as spam. Most people use these types of threads as an excuse to increase their posts count or to just post pointlessly. Therefore these threads are locked or moved to the "spam" section.

you do know you just prove opensourcehost's point, right?

i was wondering why this is happening all of a sudden. these games have been in the forum game section for much longer than some of the mods doing this have been mods. why the sudden change of heart? was there a new rule added? :S

No im not proving his point at all. What im trying to say is over the months/ years we will have posted a lot in these forums then as soon as they move them to spam out post count goes out incredebly.

You could always move them back and then lock them that way you would keep everyone happy :eusa_whis

Why did the "How famous on the forum is the person above you" thread get moved to spam? I thought that was OK, since it was moved to Forum Games a while ago.

Go on then, management. Give us a game that isn't spam, and 'requires some thought'. Go on. Bet you can't do it.

Word game using the last letter of a word of previous word for example:

Run
Name
Escape

That needs more though than replying with 1-10 to rate someone for example.

im glad certain threads have been moved to spam. but i think people who post or try to post in every single game one after the other should be punished (infraction/warning) as its obvious they are abusing that forum to increase their post count.

Oh that's why my post count mysteriously went down. Oh well, I'll live. It's only a forum.
