I have implemented a few guidelines that are listed below in plain text format:

I am quite fed up of seeing ridiculous threads posted in these forums, so I'm just going to delete any I deem 'useless' without notice.

This includes but is not limited to:
- 'hate' threads.
- really, really stupid, meaningless threads.
- 'i want to chat', or 'anyone want to talk' threads.
- 'i'm bored' threads.
- any threads with explicit or inappropriate content.

I will delete any more threads I feel aren't worth keeping at my own disgression.

More tips to help keep you on my good side would be:
- using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation in the thread and title.
- not writing 'who here' in the thread title.
- not asking people to reply in the thread title - it's fairly obvious what you should do already.

And finally, you do not need to make two threads about the same thing. For example, koolweird created a thread entitled 'new orleans', but then greendayrockkat created a new thread entitled 'enybody been affected by da hurricane'. This does not need to be done. greendayrockkat should have simply posted in the new orleans thread, saying 'has anybody been affected by the hurricane?' or similar.

this is a great idea because of the nasty marks that I have been reading. It is a good thing,hopefully, that most of these mockheads can not be found. If so their would be a nasty arcade war in human form!!!!!!

it is not right they are our own personal messages. We talk the way we talk. Some people don't know that they need to reply to messages. Some people are just that stupid. I know that this is your website or whatever, but we have just as much right to say what we feel as you do. So i say just scratch the whole thing, we cannot help the way we feel, or how we want to talk we aren't robots. WE are not programmed to say all good and logical things some things just come out, and some people are still stupid enough to not reply to messages or say cuss words. I think that you should just get over it.

I'm sorry but that is THE most stupidest thing i've heard... did you even get what crabby meant? If i make a thread say 'Hi!' Then crabby makes a thread entitled 'Hi!' then 5 more people also make a thread titled 'Hi!' i dont think you want to reply to the exact same thread hundreds of times ok we know your not robots, but you dont have to be a robot to speak proper english, in fact, talking computer slang is more of being a robot then speakin genglish, so please dont it's better to have 10 quality threads that everyone post quality posts then 100 shitty lil' threads with 100 lil' shitty posts that dont make sense... So You get over it.

I am just wondering why the threads that are not appropriate, and the ones that are meaningless are not deleted yet?
