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:
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 doesnt 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]
