He already posts at that rate. A half hour would be better. That'd force him to consider them.
*shrug* I can't really say--I sometimes feel like I put up similar posts to what Mike puts up, so I don't really think I can say ban him.

You're not.
You're lovely.
Thanks, Spanky--and you happened to use my favourite adjective! Nicely done...
Anyway, I do feel that sometimes everyone lets in some spam, and sometimes I feel that I do this a bit more than others. Therefore, if I were to say to ban Mike, who knows? Maybe I'd be next. And since I don't really want to get banned, I think I'll vote for him to stay.

*chuckle* Eleas, dahlink, it takes more than the use of one adjective to win me... Let's not talk of wedding bells just yet, eh?
Back to Mike and spamming vs. non-spamming...
I voted to keep him. The end.
EDIT: "The end" = "the end of my say in this"--just to be 100% clear I wasn't trying to make some official decision or anything... 'K, that's all.

I say warn him one more time and that he will be banned if he doesn't. It doesn't seem like he is spamming maliciously. He even acknowledged it kinda at one point. A final warning I think.
And Zaia, when have you posted like Mike does? I don't think I've ever seen you post anything unintelligent or pointless.
Zaia: I told you on AIM that you didn't spam. Anyways, although it is not "malicious spam" as neoolong put it, there is still no excuse for the spam that he *has* brought....it clutters up the board with useless posts and, as we all see, gets really old really fast. Now I am sure I would have been given a warning ban a long time ago had I done this when I first joined, but I tried to post what I thought on a situation, and tried to stay intelligent. Oh, well, do what you will, but I voted for a temporary ban.

I've been accused of turning OT and FF into a chatrrom. By Bean. Whom I think seriously needs to stop spending so much time memorizing how many posts everyone makes in a day. He's been getting a little......weird.....lately. I digress. Yeah, whole threads have been turned into chatrroms by myself and others, but I backed off when asked to do so.
Neoolong: Thank you. I do try to be intelligent, but I guess sometimes I feel like my words don't come out exactly the way I want them to. Hence, I feel like they are pointless, which leads us to the spamming...
Ver: I know, I know, I know we already talked about this, but--I read earlier somewhere on here that when people post stuff like "LOL" or whatever that it's just plain spam, and I think I've done that before. So I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about it...sorry.

Everyone does that.....its just letting someone know your opinion. Problem is, Mikey does it every other post or so. You do it when necessary, as do others....if there were no LOL's or ROFLMAO's, then half the threads in this forum would have no point.

You are welcome. And if it wasn't 1 in the morning I would type something really eloquent that would have you melting into a pool of....good stuff. *Neoolong's brain: Alright I'm outta here. *step step step, door crashes shut* *
