     Why is everyone so "pushy" on these forums? If I post a picture,its considered spam.If my pictures and posts are spam,why have't the administrators or moderators deleted my posts,remove my images,or even give me a warning.

 Also,why is everyone so mean,I post a simple topic and I'm being told this is a worthless topic.

                      Is everyone on these forums really  christians,because alot of you are quite rude,mean and telling me that every post I post is spam.

Alot of you on the other hand are very nice and I really appreciate that.


Very confused,

pushy isn't the right word. annoyed and tired of spamming is true though.

the admins and mods don't do that unless it's obviously intentional. for instance, King Jo II back in the day. if you just spam by posting "ROFL! XD! LOL!" (which is spam), they won't get mad at you, unless you do it fifty million times.

as far as cruelty goes, it's probably because you're younger than some and some people don't remember being that age. if people are being mean, feel free to report them and let the mods help out.

no, not everyone are Christians. people don't play Redemption because it's Christian, they play it because it's fun. that being said, it's primary audience is Christian and thus has many Christians (like myself) active in the game. and again, some people have just become tired and annoyed of all the recent spam.

hope this clears some things up. if I have been one of the "mean" or "pushy" people, I apologize.

I am a Christian, as are most people who frequent this forum (but not all).

I think you are just young and inexperienced here, and so you haven't figured out yet, what places people here tend to accept posts that add little content or appear to be unrelated to Redemption.  I admit that it is a bit hard to figure that out without just being here for a while.

I would suggest that you just take some time to watch and learn.  Don't start very many new topics for a while.  And only respond to a topic if you really think that what you have to say is something that other people would be missing out on if you remained quiet on that issue.

As you are here longer, you'll be able to be more free with your comments.  And in the meantime, don't take it personally if people criticize you.  They don't know you, and are therefore not doing it because they don't like you.  They would say the same thing to anyone else who they didn't know and who said the same thing.

I get tired of spam sometimes, but I try to communicate that without being mean.  I hope don't come off that way. :)  To answer your question, Good Samaritan, moderators don't generally delete spam unless there are pages and pages of it, like quote pyramids or something.

There are two things that can happen when people complain about spam.  Either they will stop complaining, or the spam will stop.  If you avoid posting what they call "spam" and make sure you're adding something to the discussion, people will stop complaining.  :)

one form of spam that is really Annoyingfun is where you post a picture to make a statement that would be spam anyway.

So if you are a Christian you can not be rude or mean? Yes we try not to, but sometimes we are, and that's ok. Some of the stuff you post is spam, and because you are new to the boards and younger, people will be more straight forward with you instead of letting it slide. Take prof's advice.

Prof nailed it. The main issue is when posts add NO content to a post. We all care about you and want you to be more than a stumbling block to everyone. That is why we are "mean". We aren't being mean, we are correcting (for the most part).

I am straight forward in person too.  Just FYI.

Also, you started a thread about the Yankees when there was already a thread about the Yankees.  Clearly spam.

I'm not prejudiced. I'm mean to everyone, all the time. My mom said to pick one thing and do it better than anyone. I picked being mean.

So if you are a Christian you can not be rude or mean? 
       

You can be,I just assumed,since this was a christian website that members would in their actions and words said would be nice,kind and ect..

My expectations were a little demanding,so, sorry everyone :).
