I think it's about time this gets addressed.
I'm generally a rather easygoing person, and I don't mind the odd off-topic post in forums. But the way this has been going lately in here is starting to annoy me to extreme extents. I'm not vising any people in this post, I'm talking in general, but still a few persons are in my mind as I write this and if you have any form of consciousness you know who you are.
What some of you seem to fail to understand is the fact, that a forum is not IRC, MSN, AIM, or whatever other chat program out there. A forum is something where, when you post, you are supposed to stay on the topic started by the original poster, and what you write has to have some relevant interest.

Things like this are of no value at all, and if you REALLY want to post things like this, keep it in the chat forum, it's been made for that purpose.
I honestly love this place, and that's the reason why I'm posting this. If I didn't care about Piggymoo, I wouldn't care about all the mindless off-topic posting and spamming around. But I do, because I like it here, and I think this is a rather unique place on the web and I'd like to keep it that way.
Another issue that seems to be coming up is double posting. Please, the edit button is there for a reason! USE IT!!! Double (or more) posting really has no sense at all.
From now on I'm going to start deleting every single spam/offtopic/double post I see outside of the chat forum, and handing out warnings. You will get temporary bans for multiple offenses.
Thanks for reading this, and please keep it in mind.
