Use of /*name* in posts

Folks,

Recently I have noticed a rise in the tendency of posters to respond to suggestions or ideas presented by other users with /*name* as a shorthand for stating that they do not like or agree with the suggestion or idea. This type of posting is not acceptable and is a violation of the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines:

5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

Below is a list of examples of non-constructive posts. As a rule, non-constructive posting is not permitted.

    [*] Spam is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
    [*] Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.
    [*] Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “Lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.[/list]

    Refrain from such posts as :
      [*]+1 [*]/jranger [*]LOL [*]no[/list]or other such “fluff” posts that do little to contribute to the discussion. Continued such posts will result in action on our part to curb the behavior.

      We will now be stepping up moderation of this type of post and those who continue to behave in such a manner may have further action taken against their account.

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling
