Hey everyone. There's a lot of posts on these boards that are very useless, often made to boost one's post count.

This needs to stop. Useless posts with only a few words will be deleted, so if you're going to make a post, make it meaningful.

If a person makes a useless post on purpose, they will be warned then banned. I've added this to the rules list too.

Spam is off topic, annoying, and worthless information.

Like for this forum:

"I got a new backpack!"

this would be labeled as spam because this has nothing to do with warfare incorporated.

Hope that helps.

Why dont they remove this forum and start a new one make so when you go to home page and clikc forum it goes to the new one. And copy important topics to the new one as well as popular accounts that posted something.

Spam is also "useless posts" like posts just saying "lol" or something. If a post is just one word, then it can't be very important.

Well if the previos post said like "Here you go man the mission is now complete; I mailed it to you" and you reply "thanks" its ok but for your gramer to look better and give a thank you to the person above do it like this "Thanks man I realy enjoyd your mission!"

Hmmm... I think it would count as spam. I'm not really sure. If it were me, I'd not post it.

How is it spam unless if ur thanking to an off topic then its spam but like a WI mission then its ok. Like humans somewone cleans up your yard and you walk away. Will that person will not be happy unless u thanked him. And sending PMs is a big hassle.
