People have been wishing one side or the other luck, or say have fun to one or both sides for a long time now...quit giving the mods more work than they already have.

There you go:
That means CATS alot of post with only 1 word in like Lol or a smiley is spam if its done alot. Where wishing good luck is not spam.
Or other off topic post of that very topic is spam offcourse a small degree of offtopic is allowed.

I wouldn't have said it was spam, no, as it's information which relates to the topic. Even if it doesn't "contribute" to the topic, as you say, it still isn't silly/banal/irrelevant enough to warrant the 'spam' label.
I think people's main issue with "spam" in war threads is that it makes them so damn difficult to follow. Some people aren't on the forums constantly, and may only check them once or twice a day to see how the war is going.. and it's a pain for said people to have to wade through pages and pages of "lolcats" and sexual innuendo just to find out the latest news.

Warthreads should be a statement of who is at war...everything else should be in PMs.

(While that statement is a bit overzealous and not my actual thoughts it does represent my latest feelings towards the Game Over Thread.)

What about you just stop spamming your self instead in topics not related to you

Whats posted there is not spam as most of it is war banter and war talks. and tbh m8 please stop acting up because you got a warrent warning and cant handle it.

Soon and very soon, you are going to see the ban, soon and very soon, you are going to be banned. Soon and very soon you are going to be banned, hallelujah, hallelujah, you'll be permabanned.

That's not productive Auriel >.<
As for Guardian, AGA must not have taught you that war threads can be filled with more than just extortion demands and insults. Banter and propoganda are as much a part of the war as the actual massing.
Moreso, these days.
Edit: Wasn't Nim, it was Auriel. I seem to be skimming to fast

You are sharing the same gems of logic as that dude that was permabanned did.
What's his name again? Ageh, or something.
You would be banned, because you break the rules. Not because you paste pictures, silly. I paste pictures all the time, and the only thing I got was a lousy T-shirt.
Why don't you go and make war. I hear you're good at that. Go and make war, and leave the big, incomprehensible forum mechanics alone. Have fun, play the game!
Or make an effort next time you come and try to accuse people of things.

People appreciate the effort, not the accusation itself.
@PoT: Tell me, please.. is there anything constructive to be said in response to the raving rants of radical rascals? Really..
