And then... a moderator deletes some of the spammy posts which I was forced to make to get my post count to 10... the reason being that in those posts I freely admitted that I was posting spammy posts because the forum requires me to get my post count to 10 before it lets me do anything useful (specifically in my case I needed to post an entry to the Bounty thread, or to PM a mod with my entry, neither of which I was allowed to do, with the deadline being the next day...).
So now my post count is back down to 9!
Gee, thanks forum, for making joining you as difficult as possible!
Hey, even though my short spammy posts were short and spammy (and honest about being short and spammy), I kept them funny and entertaining, but apparently admitting that they were spammy gets them removed for being "intentionally spammy...."
And one of my posts that got removed was in a different introduction thread ("who the hell are you") in the "General, Off-Topic" forum, because this introduction thread here doesn't affect your post count. Buuut... WHY does introducing yourself here not increase your post count? That makes no sense.... Do spambots take the time to introduce themselves?
Anyway, I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining, since I can easily add another spam post somewhere (other than here) if I need my post count to reach 10 again
