    IB4L is ridiculously getting out of hand.

    Rule 1.1 has been added. You can't spam to indicate that someone has broken a rule! It doesn't make your spam any better.

    Either you post in the thread to help the person, or you don't. There's no need to flame/insult the person.

    If you really want to indicate that a post is breaking the rules, use the REPORT feature!!

    From now on, you'll be charged with spamming everytime you post "in before lock" in a post with nothing of value except indicating that.

    USE THE REPORT FEATURE!!

    LOL. I kept seeing the the IB4L, but didn't consider it spamming. even Xshadowfire pulled a in After lock. Would that be considered moderator spam?

    this rule does not apply to moderators. They can post to indicate that they locked a thread. this rule is basically saying "don't act like a mod if you're not a mod" (which is rule #9 btw)

    You're still going to get warned, just for being irritating. No need to note that it's going to be locked, just answer the question. There's not even humour in saying: "In before lock."
