EB Forum Reforms

[General Appo]

Who said it was mine? Appo is the bartender/creator of the social group, and according to his views, I believe he views the EB Tavern as belonging to all of us.

The EB Tavern is a fully charitable organisation designed to aid and help both the amazing moderators and those unfortunates who have displayed a certain tendency to sometimes engage in what is commonly refered to as "spamming".
By setting up an area in which these "spammers" can vent much of their built-up aggression in the form of harmless spam, we seek to gradually move these spammers away from the general forums, therebly "easing the burden" upon our wonderful moderators.
We also seek to gradually convince these "spammers" of their wrongdoings and help them break free of their addiction, and comes to terms with themselves. In order to accomplish this we have set up a relaxed enviroment without clear authority figures where our patients can "spam" without the familiar rush of "defying authorities", while at the same time, in a more constricted manner that previously of course, "defying the authorities" over at the normal forums, thereby gradually breaking the "spammers" free of their addiction in the same way as a smoker might gradually diminish the amount of cigarettes he smoke every week.
But of course, as it is with breaking any addiction, it is a very difficult process, and temporary setbacks are not unknown.

But overall, I feel we have been making good progress, especially as, contrary to popular belief, the amount of spamming has decidedly decreased the since the creating of our support group. And indeed, much of the spamming now carried out is conducted by people not part of our group. Of course, we always strive to "recruit" these people in order to aid them with their addiction.

I hope this has helped clear out a few things about the EB Tavern and its purpose.

Also, any further questions regarding the EB Tavern or any of its members would be best directed at me, as I am ultimately responsible for the Tavern and, if I may say so, most qualified to produce an intelligent answer.
