    Ah, Amp banned me.

    "OP banned for not reading charter. Thread locked. Forum suggestions go in the Forums forum"
    Usually if a thread is posted in the incorrect forum, its moved not locked. Why is this case different?

    Seems a tad harsh alright. I think Amp had a hard morning chasing a spammer around a bit, so maybe he is just tired and grumpy. Amps a guy right?

    This charter is stickied, has an icon and the text is in caps. Anybody we think hasn't read the charter or chooses to ignore it will result whatever action we feel necessary at the time. This includes wedgies. We are sick of telling people to read this charter.

    Looking elsewhere

    Do not post to Games asking for a new forum to be created. Do this in Forums.

    I see my mistake now Seamus.

    Is the Games forum special in some way? I mean, If someone posts a thread in the wrong forum its usually moved to the correct forum. I was feckin banned and thread locked. My thread is still valid and I would like to see it active in the Forums forum (god that sounds so dumb, Forums forum, what next)

    Depends on the mod at the time. There's no general rule about moving threads. The ban rule exists on after hours because every second thread had to be moved, so I started banning people.

    Yes, because we've all got nothing better to do than run around after people who are too thick to work out where to post. Coming soon is a new service where we'll hold your hand for you as you cross the road.

    Moderators doing helpful things is something you should be grateful for. Not something you get to bitch about when it doesn't happen.

    Incidentally, I think I was the first moderator to implement the "not reading the rules is against the rules" rule. Nice to see it at work elsewhere.

    You were banned for not reading the charter which specifically says not to post forum suggestions in the games forum. Other off-topic posts are either moved or locked depending on their nature.

    You see, if you'd read the charter you'd actually see that it has evolved over time and grown. The reason Forum suggestions are particularly mentioned is because we got sick of moving them to Feedback and now Forums.

    Um, I think we both came up with it independently. I'm neither a pagan nor a programmer. There are times I wish I was. Especially since Aunty Gemima left me her goats.

    Is it? Im not sure how. Is it the font colour? Or perhaps the font itself? Could be the size of the Gif. Maybe even the fact that it suggests that playing Pacman makes people neck a few yokes while listening to a few Choonz. :p Please, tell me why it breaks the rules. I havent done one thing wrong for the past God knows how long and now its all coming out in one day. Sheesh. :o

    Could be the fact that the size of the gif is 26.24 kB. It should be 20KB in size.
