    Hello Gamerenders Community.

    I would just like to inform you, we have had increasing amounts of spam on the forum recently so it is my duty to inform you of the Rules and make sure you abide by them.

    If i could refer your eyes to point number 1:

    WE WILL BE CRACKING DOWN ON THIS HARD IN THE COMING WEEKS.

    People caught spamming will be issued with warnings, temporary suspensions and in some cases fines.

    If you are one of the unlucky ones to be caught but feel you have been unjust then please feel free to contact an Admin (i.e. myself or llamaman)

    Contact e-mail address are:

    BiG_Dave:
    Code:
    [email protected]
    Llamaman:
    Code:
    [email protected]
    Please be informative in these posts so we can help you out as quick as possible.

    Thank you for your time

    BiG_Dave

    May I ask that if someone, by accident, hits the reply button twice, and gets the "merged post" message, will it be considered double posting? I understand about the actual double posting, I'm just not sure where the admins stand on the merged post subject.

    Merged posts are not considered spam anymore because they have no effect upon stats or credits amounts... If there was excessive amounts of merged posts though, we will be considering this spam and may take action.
