Whats to prevent the members who these new rules are directed at, from now making many more accounts, sharing the Magic words with each acct and making a few posts and "liking" each post?
I understand that your trying to prevent spamming/abuse of the PoP system in general, and i dont have a problem with that per say.
I do however think there has been what feels like an over policing of this forum in the last few weeks.
Specifically, many threads talking about deleting users post because certain members or mods felt the posts were "spammy" in that persons "opinion".
One of my referrals is my younger brother who has Cerebral Palsy.
He told me that many of his posts have been deleted and one can safely assume it was because his posts were shorter in length and not as detail rich as a mod or other members of the forums.
This type of thing i think also happens with Non English speakers.
Im an insatiable reader, and ive read many posts here where non english speakers are accused of spamming post when IMHO i feel they are just trying to engage in conversation.
Bottomline, maybe going forward a little more empathy can be used on this subject.
Not everyone on the internet is trying to spam or scam....
Thanks for reading.
Cheers
