    Default Welcome forum

    I know there's a rule against posting 'welcome' or the same message over and over again, but it says nothing about the volume of posts. There should be a limit on how many times someone can post in said amount of time because 'Special' has just gone through and posted in every thread on the first page, filling up the new posts entirely and surely can be classed as pointless posting in some way or another. If i were to make a series of threads, even in spam, i'd most likely be told i'm pointless posting.

    I made ten threads across the forum earlier, it's not against the rules. If it's pure spam (like in spam) or by posting the same thing over and over then yeah it's pointless.

    However if each reply is personalised there is nothing to stop the person posting as many times as they like and I am not going to stop people posting a certain amount of times.

    Pointless threads which clog up new posts are forbidden, but what "Special" has done is nothing against the rules.

    only 10? saurav said it was 6 in each section cus the forum was dead lol

    I've looked at each thread and there are some that are slightly different to others, but 6 are exactly the same and all of the threads he replied in clearly weren't personal to the user either because of how close they were made to each other - 3 posts within 11:33, 3 within 11:34

    these 6 posts are all the same, saying just 'welcome '

    I'd like to bring your attention to the Report Post button or Report Rule Breaking forum as we already have rules covering this.

    This has now been sorted.

    I would like to bring the following to everyone's attention:

    People take time to write about themselves, so at least give them the courtesy of showing some interest. Because we have had a problem with pointless posting, so try and say something in addition to "Welcome to the forum". Whether it be a nice comment or some friendly advice.

    We won't enforce it for a few posts, only if we see that users are constantly replying with "Welcome" many times over again with nothing more added.

    This is posted clearly in this thread.


    I think whilst it's lovely to welcome members to the forum, and this should be encouraged, posting simple words/phrases into all the threads is just too easy , and I don't think it would be great if everyone did this.


    As Oli said, if you use the post report button, these things can be sorted quicker.
