News & Announcements / Announcement regarding "+1" Posts

Recently, many people have shown their agreement with a statement by posting:
QUOTE
+1
Posting simply +1 with nothing else in the post that elaborates on your own opinion will be considered spamming. Up until now, +1 posts have just been deleted and disregarded with no warnings given out. But they do not contribute to the thread at all (when there is nothing else in the post being made), since they are just agreeing with the quoted person... so it will be considered spam, and a warning will be given out for it.
And... this will be considered spam too.

I like that trick
+1 I like that trick too
.....Or something to that effect
And remember, collecting warnings can lead to various consequences such a moderator preview, suspension, or ban.
These warnings only apply to only posts made where it counts towards your post count.. so posting +1 in spammer's bin is still okay, and posting it in off topic may only result in having your post deleted, with no further consequences.
Rule 1.2 has been added up regarding this matter -

I speak coherent English, I don't know about you.
Basically, any thing that involves just a +1 or I agree with you or w/e without elaborating is considered spam.
I don't know how you would miss it. It's under News and Announcements. It should be under the rules, which you "read" when you joined. -

If I remember correctly, I reported all of your posts because they were reviving old dead battle threads.
Which is spam. -

The rules are pretty clear, you should know if you're breaking them or not. You don't need a message or comment from a moderator to show you that in the first place.

I think all nooby comments should constitute warnings... whether its crap meme references or '+1' comments
