All decisions are final.

Does elitism count as flaming someone cos if so you might as well ban me now haha

Not unless it becomes offensive. Hell...I'm quite an elitist sometimes, and so is everyone else. Just don't go around creating pointless arguments, and insulting people. That kind of elitism will get you banned.

Is it possible for me to have some big account mergeratoringious thing?

Only if you spell it right.

Merging*.

^ Why hello, i guess your ban wasn't permanent.

Apparently not.

Welcome "back" Hiu;)

He'll be gone soon :o: Anyways until then welcome back :D

ive a question.
whats with the no spamming through pms?
doesnt everyone say "save it to the private messages" to spammers?

^
Good point AITA.
I guess it means no bothering/stalking other members via PM's...that sort of thing.

If anyone complains of being harrassed etc.

Maybe it just needs re-wording.

By the way the rules are virtually the same, with the exception of the 'banning' section', along with a few minor tweaks.

I think it more means advertising through PMs..

I'm pretty sure its a combination of all those things.....advertising, sending spam emails, etc....

Thanks buddy.

So right-track, can I get an account merge?

Wow. As far as I can figure out, this is the oldest thread in the forum...

Hey, just a question; can new members not make new threads? when I joined there wasn't a restriction on this, so I thought I'd check out what the new rules were in case it comes up again.

:)

The exact reason why I made this post, cheers!

Yeah it was changed to reduce spam and such.

does it say anything anywhere about how many posts/how long i need to be a member for before i can start my own threads? as it appears i can't.. i've been on forums in the past where you have to wait 24 hours to start a thread, or make 100 posts etc..

by the averages i'm working at right now, i should be okay in a couple hours!! heh!

DAMMIT!! i should have read back through the pages.

Really it should be in the first post on this thread though, cos i looked up and down it a couple times.

Im not quite sure how well the no porn rule will work!We already have a thread dedicated to it

Ethan closed it.

I know but there is still a thread dedicated to it


No more!

You know what I'm going to start one right now :bringit:

It's not like the thread was porn.

I know.Im just going to stop the argument!Its fine forget I said anything

YEAH MUSICBANTER.COM RULES. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh yes!Break it down

Hi, do you do affiliation?
