Completely agree. It seems like alot of rules exist and serve no purpose other than giving the mods the chance to anally enforce them. The man-power spent by the moderators policing ridiculous little rules like the green text or using the word "lichess" would be much better spent taking action on the spamming children or the other sh!t which is slowly making the forums less and less of a fun place. But it seems like they would rather punish well-meaning minor rule breakers than actually taking steps to improve the forum experience
erik, we are frustrated

it was consecutive posts. really, that topic is not one where we discuss issues. it's just for fun (dare i say adult fun?)
the kiddos can spam as much as they want, as llama recently pointed out. posting consecutively can be governed by the op blocking or staff/mods, so this automation should be junked, in my opinion.
the green font was me pointing out the stupidity of a mod or staff member muting someone for using it-as if only they are allowed.
Don't mock on the staff or moderators. Green must be used only by moderators or staff for various reasons. I agree with the staff and moderators regarding the green color. How come you mock on the staff and moderators? I totally object your way of talking.
And here’s where Jose runs off squealing to staff or mods ....

This is an example of the kind of lame garbage posts that only serve to waste space and divert discussions. People who post this crap should have this deleted by moderators on sight and their posting privileges suspended with a warning. Instead we get the auto-bot that bludgeons people for private conversations.

I've been saying this for a while now.
After a lot of moaning, I didn't have much left but to adjust my expectations... the forums are full of crap, so retreat to groups or other websites with actual discussion -- was my solution.

Joining groups may work for some people but, as I told Colby Covington when asked to join his group, I'm not much of a joiner. In may not appear so here but IRL I'm a rather asocial person. So many posts by mental children such as skyloren123 have me seriously reconsidering spending time here at all.

I think I must ask to his mother.
I've had enough. Later, folks.
no. if a certain color or font is reserved for staff, it should not be an option for the rest of us.
more importantly, every mod and staff member has an icon next to their name to indicate their position. even with that, some of them will write that they are responding on behalf of the site as a way of differentiating their personal views from the job as hall monitor.
if john q. member can't figure that out, i think we all know what the q stands for.
the mocking, as you write, is deserved. a mod or staff member joined a private discussion group here and proceeded to usurp the admins by muting a member for using green text. this is a group that, last i was in, could have quoting that would take up your whole screen. responses to a previous poster were sometimes in a different color to make it clear what their responses were.
