[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]It is interesting that your post here is about 5 times longer than the post I deleted. I have decided to declare war on what I am calling "tweet posts" which are posts that consist of one short, vague sentence and a link. DCUM is a discussion forum. Post something that we can discuss. If someone has to click on a link to a third party website just to know what the hell you are talking about, I'm going to delete the thread.

There has been a rash of these threads, especially at night. I wake up every morning and immediately remove about a half-dozen of them. I am not sure what is causing this trend, but I am very tired of it.

The rule is that you can't post just a link. So, adding one random sentence meets the minimum requirement for posting the link; the letter not the spirit. [/quote]

I changed the rule. Posters come in and start thread after thread that completely lack substance. These threads push other threads off the front page. Then posters don't bother to look and start new threads on the same topic of threads on the second page. I want substantive threads. If I wanted tweets, I would shutdown DCUM and tell everyone to use X.
