I've got no problem with 'spam' topics that can be discussed (or well, just have pictures posted about) as long as it isn't completely random characters that don't make sense.
This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

Spam forum is great for jokes and stories about things that make us laugh - nothing serious, nothing really to do with Renegade, and doesn't break rules.
But when a spam topic is composed of random pictures or text that is absolutely meaningless to all but the thread creator (and perhaps not even they), then it's pointless and worthless.
I agree we should have a minimum rule where the spam at least has to have some sort of sense to it.

I don't think it should be 'conversation worthy,' but rather just 'understandable.'
For example:
A thread in which the original poster types simply "Pie!" should be allowed.
However, a thread in which the original poster types 3,000 lines of "oagadgiuangergnregneiguenhagnedgienrgaieougnaeroig" shouldn't.
That also goes for single repetitive sentences/words. Like saying "Pie" 40,000 times in one post.
There is spam, then there is spam. The ladder is just annoying and consumes too many resources.

I know, this will be taken in account of course.
One reason for me to get rid of the spam section is that moderators are still forced to read it as any of the non spam related rules still apply in there! In the past, some people were banned because of this.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

No censorship please. If it was designed for anything goes, let it be. Its still useful for things like testing BB/html code etc. It is in my opinion a waste of hosting but its Crimsons forums and im sure it doesn't take up that much so shes fine with it.
