We could easily disable bbcode altogether in that forum 
But unfortunately that would totally go against what the forum was intended for - testing.
How about simple rules recognition? How hard is that? What areas of the rules do you not understand? We can reword them into Sesame Street language if it makes it easier for some

yh, I get the rules, but you can't be naieve enough to think that everyone that has an account here even bothers to read them, so maybe just for that one thread / forum, you could change the way the software behaves to take care of it, and that's one less thing for yourselves to do ....
I know that 75% at least have never read them. But when established members have been cautioned/warned in the past, is that a reason to excuse anyone in any thread, in any category? The rules will remain in place in all forums. If you don't like it, go to a "no holds barred' forum.KRAK_JOE said:
We are not about to let this forum slide into a place where people think they can join and do what they darned well please because they think it is right. This forum has survived for many years because it was kept "reasonably clean" even before I joined here.
Let's keep it that way :angel:
But, I don't get it. If it doesn't accumalate post counnts...who cares if it's spam? It's been spam for 5yrs. Why decide to shut it down now?
What's the difference between;
meaningless drivel and spam?
It had over 10,000 posts, it was doing sooo good. I don't think it's right to close a 5yr. tradition thread.
Anyways, we always have to respect administration and moderation authority.

I have noticed that thread being there ever since I have joined. It serves no reason person, but merely a place for someone to have fun really.
I know there is a really you can block out certain words and links and stuff when someone posts, because a forum, I am a member of does it all the time.
I can see a reason why most of the rules are in place and people enforce them, but at the same time, some of the rules don't go with all the forums.
Maybe you need to redo the rules for that particular part of the forum. From what I see it says "Test things out". That to me, doesnt have anything to do with the other parts of this forum.
PS. Well no one needs to advertise in it. That is where they is an ads and offers forum.

And again, none of the posts in that thread have anything to do with testing things out.
We have allowed rants and useless posts there for a long time that would not have been allowed in the rest of the forum. Apart from that the rules are exactly the same as for the rest of the forum and that won't change.

Peo I think you missed understood what I said. I said it is in a forum for testing things out. I didn't mean it to sound like that people use that particular thread for testing things out.
The forum itself is called "Testing Things Out" which has nothing to do with the other parts of the forum. Like web hosting, domain names, etc.
It is ok to have a master set of rules, but then for each individual forum, you need to have it, have its own set of rules.
Im mean it is your forum, and far be it for me or anyone else tell you how to run it. I am just giving my opinion like everyone else. Not trying to make anyone mad.
