They can't. Read the bit about contributing, my example that I gave about the colour and the car could be penalised with the current rule.Quote:

Say there's a thread about fish fingers, if someone posts up "hi I love hairless cats" this would currently be removed for pointless posting, as would replies to it because they are by default pointless - after all, if that post is pointless it should be removed, and therefore replies to it would look out of the blue themselves. It makes very little sense to change this as far as I can see.
Sorry, I missed your example Jake! Surly that cannot be considered as pointless posting, because in both you refer to the colour red which is key in the initial post!Quote:

This is what I meant. Just got a PM about those. They are replying to two people who have quoted me. Sure, it's not adding anything to the original discussion but it's not my fault I have been spoken to. Being penalised for replying and promoting discussion.
Neither of those links work for me Jake, even when I try edit your post :(
If you have an issue with any moderation then PM me, it's simple really, I happen to agree with you on those two posts aren't pointless and will sort them.Quote:
