    Redleg:

    I agree with you that quality comments should be preferenced over Spam. I don't know of any forum here -- or on another site -- that is immune to it. I think a Moderator should step in on this one, and all players should have the right to request a mod to look things over (or PM the Host to do the same).

    However,

    Some of the newly dead are just having a bit of fun -- akin to the quick joke posts that intersperse the more serious ones in the Backroom for example. I am rarely bothered by these.

    I'd rather leave the choice on this to the Host of a game. Yes, the way the final ethics code will be written, this will be a norm, but anything on our ethics code is going to have influence as a baseline, so...

    Your probably right - just thinking of better ways for the dead to influence the game then multiple posts that really don't have any meaning other then its spam.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
