and they are not allowed to think, they have to go by the rulezzzzz (a.k.a. guidelines) or are BANNED .....

Don't they have a rule about excessive RTM'ing ??? I think so, Rule 68

My guess woukd be for spamming the board with these thread bumps.

Great idea, if you ask me. Imagine if everyone were to RTM each and every one of them...How bad ass would that be? Don't know if it would do any good, but it might. It might piss them off, though, but at least they'll know where you stand on the matter...and then, who knows...???


And I'll save you guys the trouble..

• #31 - Often times in the hobby arena, members may display a tendency towards bringing their conflicts with other members to the board. This will be strongly discouraged and swift effort will be made to put it to rest. Additionally, staff will make every effort to stay uninvolved in conflicts and disputes between members off the board except in such cases where the board becomes directly affected.

• #33 - We ask that all members who participate here acquaint themselves with these guidelines and familiarize themselves with the location of the RTM button (white triangle with exclamation point, outlined in red) Our staff are not on duty 24/7 and unfortunately are not always readily available to right the ship, put out fires, or address rule violations when they occur. We need to work together, staff and members, to maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the forums. It is vital that you bring inappropriate posts to the attention of staff using the RTM function when it appears that a staff member has not yet become involved. This will greatly help in our mission to provide the ideal environment for our members to interact with one another.

You will find various other items of policy and procedure which address a variety of topics placed in various forums across the board. Please pay attention to the stickied threads in each of the forums you visit to prepare yourself for the guidelines which may exist for that forum in particular. What you see here are the basic fundamentals. If each of us commits ourselves to abiding by the basic posted guidelines provided, our community will continue to grow and thrive. As the saying goes, you get out of something what you put into it. In that respect, we ask that each individual member, including our staff, to display a common respect for those around you and make yourself aware and familiar with the guidelines set forth for the community.

Thanks in advance,

ECCIE Staff

As far as the powers that be; "not being able to thinck" and, "the rulezzzzzzz",

There's certainly enough wiggle room in the wording of the guidelines which enables them to act on things. There's any number of ways they could spin this.

So I don't thinck it's too much of a stretch to believe that this post-bumping isn't going to be tolerated for too much longer...if for no other reason, it doesn't provide a comfortable atmosphere..lol

But knock yourselves out, fellas, and let's see how this all plays out.

and again, I'll save you the trouble...
