    The following have been banned from posting for 3 days for posting on the 150 thread despite ming's warning:
    cthol, DarthVeda, Boshko, The Brain, legman, Talon2, UEC, Fjorxc, Sir_Crusader, Thucydides, Ghost Ham, Lancer, Jasonian, The Mad Monk, nimrod., empress, atahualpa , cybershy, mark l


    the following are banned and get a post count reduction for posting in the same thread and creating a double login. in parentheses are the dl's of each one:
    matt higgs(therock, thedick, Doink the clown): 21 days, 30%
    fadoba(abobaF): 7 days, 10%
    ghen(ghen's philosophical DL, spoon made of silver, ghen's third DL): 24 days, 30%

    the following is banned and gets a post count reduction for creating a double login:
    stodlum(MinglenarkosQ,Blitzkrieger): 14 days, 20%

    our hope is that everyone now understands that one must:
    1) fully read a post of an admin/moderator, especially if it has phrases in CAPITALS
    2) post in the right thread and forum, especially if it is specified by an admin/moderator
    3) if disabled, and feel like complaining, to do so via mail, not by creating a double login


    please discuss the issue only on this thread. dont clutter the OT with unrelated threads

    all I can say: wow...I'm speechless. Wasn't the 150 limit announced on that news script thingie...blah, blah, blah...Ming, did you really expect that people wouldn't post to your thread even after you said it's not allowed (it's like fobridden fruit, it was probably the woman, called Empress that put all the men up to this...hihihi)...wow
    note to self:
    would they ban another moderator? hihihi

      Pah. A fly-by-night occasional poster is not worth the wasting of my pet solicitor's time.

          I think a warning should have been sufficient for the ones who didn't create double log-ons. I did see Ming's 150+ thread - but didn't read it. I may have posted on a large thread myself out of ignorance.

          It is sort of a minor sin, but the punishment isn't too nasty.

          Markos/Ming/DanQ - Have you reconfigured the forums so that treads seal themselves after 150 posts? I'm not a very fast typer. If I thought my post would be # 148 in a thread, and 3 others posted while I was typing, would I be punished? Would it show up?

          Would a new thread on the same topic be created automatically, with a link to the archived thread? (This would probably be the beat solution, but its probably impossible.)

          I do agree that extremely long treads probably are responsable for some of the problems we've had in the past... & I noticed some of the advert. banners have disappeared.

          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

            You know, I think Empress has the honor of being the first female banned in Apolyton history

              Mark G/Ming: This has got to be the most assanine thing I have ever seen. I would like an honest answer to this question. Did you <u>honestly</u> think that telling people not to post in a thread was not begging for it to be spammed, knowing what you know about OT?

                MWHC: It even looks like connor...

                BTW, this IS the most assanine thing EVER done by ANYONE.

                Always remember 'BLACK SATURDAY'

                Don't just remember it. Think about it. Let's not let it happen again.

                    Yeah, it is a rather inviting title isn't it: "Dont post here!"

                          I wasn't here last night when the it happened. Could someone post a link to the thread in question so that I (and others in my situation) could see it? I'll go check the OT now, but if it was closed then its probably someware on page 2 or 3.
