Spam in the RB has gotten out of control. People are in discussion threads discussing their daily activities, and generally making useless posts. Posts like “Hi guys, what’s going on?” and similar posts are considered spam. This is ridiculous. Maybe if you were in a chatroom or having a real life conversation that would be acceptable. This is a message board. Every post you make is recorded and will stay there for as long as this website exists. Make your posts smart. Make them count. There is no need to ask “What’s up?” in a thread because you can just look back a few pages and figure it out. There is no reason to talk about what kind of day you had because this isn’t the right place. This is the RB, where discussions of Avatar relationships are to take place. Nothing else. All spam will be deleted on sight, repeat offenders will be warned. If spamming continues to take place, more drastic measures will be taken. This has gotten out of control.
Social visits should be limited to the OGB (Other General Board) or PM. Unless they are there to debate or validate theories and speculation that is of that ships nature. The same should be held true for all ships visiting other shipping threads.

EDIT BY AMIRA:
Also, I've noticed a lot of "I totally agree" types of posts. If you agree with a previous post then explain why you agree or add your own thoughts. There should be no reason why one person writes a post and 4 "I agree." posts follow it with no further commentary.
I've also seen a lot of "I'm giving you Karma!" or "Thanks for the Karma" types of posts. If you want to karma someone, fine, but make sure that you do it as part of a discussion post. If you want to thank someone for karma, either include it in a discussion post or PM the person that gave you karma.
