To counter the recent strain of spamming, and it's bluntly obvious by the way, we give the following for those that are caught:
- Spamming Infraction
- Post Count reset to 0

There are many forums sections that will count your post count. All you have to do is just make some contributing posts.

Is that new members only? like people who are struggling to reach 5 posts?
or if I spammed (which i won't ) would my post count be reset also?

Yes, this only applies to new users.

Members that have a post count way beyond 5 would only receive the infraction.

I'd like to add that if it occurs more than once we do have the ability to completely lock the offender out of the PM system.

I like this idea. I hate it when people write "posting to get to 5 posts sorry". They don't deserve it; they get a warning and still get the post. This way, they don't get rewarded for spamming.

Also Avia, I think you meant "blatantly obvious", not "bluntly obvious".

Both are correct, don't correct Boss.

I too like this idea, as while people aren't always saying "Trying to get to 5 posts" they just post random and really annoying posts

Boss Lady, you're right, don't listen to Yoshi!

We want to note we recently dropped the limit from 5 to 3 posts.
We want to be fair, but at the same time we want people to understand that this limit is in place as a security measure and we expect users to follow the rules by not spamming.
Several forums such as Poke-News, Poke-Chat, all of Cyber-Cafe game forums, will count your posts.
All you have to do is post constructive things to the threads.
Join a few discussions, and you're done.
