The automated message will explain everything in detail. Just like when you get kicked now manually.

what about noobies who join after the week of getting the message?
Sucks for you....j/k im sure they'll give everyone a week of getting used to the system once you sign up. if you visit the forums after that week well then i say again sucks for you

this is definetely a joke

you have 315 posts. the count doesn't matter to you. to those with a few thousand each, it is quite a big deal to have those go away.

If anything, it will INCREASE the spamming, because everyone will be trying to get their counts back up.

Hence the spam auto-kick!

I tried to get them to include auto-kick on quotes within quotes within quotes, etc... but they said no for now, but maybe later.

but the spam will be

kldsa;lfkjsaljf.m.zmcv.z,mcoqw

so people can get by the minimum character letter. So i agree it's going to get worst.

huge quote bubbles are annoying. It should stop at a certain point.(how big DO they get)

I think they go up to about 20 quotes in 2.0. I'm not sure about 3.0.
I tried it on another forum, we had a 13 pages of a converstaion, all in quotes.

i totally understand your point. just as some people only play certain maps or styles for enjoyment on the site, several others find additional fun in the forums and live chats. that is what is so cool about this site. it isn't just a "primarily a gaming site", it is a community made up of people that enjoy very different aspects of the site and find pleasure and relaxation in different areas. i love the games, but the forums are where i come when they games are bogged down waiting for players, and i'm taking a break from working... so, i understand why you would be upset. it is like resetting everyones ranks and not thinking it was a big deal... to some, it woudn't be, but to those with exceptional ranks, it would be... right?-0
