The internet is based upon free speech. To not allow a discussion of a subject is censorship that isn't necessary, although some of these 'debates' do get rough. But hey, i'm DEFIANT, I live to be defiant.

True. There is big difference in free speech in debate and spamming.

"I have a new car."  This is spamming. Doesn't fit in this topic.
Sometimes spams are advertisementsc, content is meaningless for topic.

Yup, and I would also add that spamming is also lets say if someone posts only a smiley in a reply, or just say OK or something like that Smiley

as long as it is a discussion we can discuss about politics, our ideas and opinions. as soon as it comes to the point where people shout "you are an idiot cause my opinion is the only true one" we moderators have to close that topic. that's quite sad cause that shows that we are unable to discuss a topic

"i have a new car" is spamming
"i have a new BMW. i'm quite pleased with it! what cars do you have?" is the beginning of a discussion
"LOOOL!! MY CAR IS THE BEST" is stupid

 cool   and that's a smiley Cheesy

it just depends on the situation which post is useful or just spam. i am happy that only a few ppl spam on our forum (otherwise i had no free time anymore for fleet operations and other stuff but the forum). if someone keeps spamming he'll get temporary bans, i won't suspend any accounts (yet). temporary bans are better though like a few ours, a week or a year - always better to kick someone out. but in simple words spoken optec has given a basic example how a useful post looks, it's that what i always say, i like to see the idea behind your posts not just the result of your ideas. that supports our forthcoming in discussion or mod making. esspecialy in the feature request, we can reply more to your answers if you state more. simple math Smiley
