(THE ONLY TOPIC ABOUT THIS PLEASE)
This is all rather silly, I mean the people there only upped their post counts by around 100 each so that's all they should be reduced by. I've been lurking there since someone told me about it and I was scared to post in case this happened but anyway, my opinions:-
Just close the forum and unban the posters. it's terribly unfair to ban them for something that isn't really discussed much in the FAQ. If punishments are going to be severe then the FAQ should be adjusted. The FAQ gives guidelines for how posters behave, and lest we forget, for how moderators behave too.
All-in-all the posters haven't done much wrong. They just found an empty forum and used it for their own ends without causing any harm to anyone else. That they kept their spam away from the off-topic is quite admirable I think, as a lurker.
Release the Area 25ers!
