Please make sure that you are posting for the good of the community, not just for the sake of self-promotion. Our Moderators reserve the right to edit or delete any posts they consider to be "SPAM". The minimum post size should have atleast 10 words or have useful information on the discussed topic. In general, try and add something to the topic besides "I agree" or something like "Cool, nice video / signature / idea". Spam posts are considered posts like "Thanks for sharing!", "Cool screenshot, bro!", "Haha, LOL!". Mostly every post that can easily be replaced with using the Reactions System is a spam post.

We recommend you use the Reactions System instead of posting just that.

However, there are some exception, where you can post such messages in few forum sections and those are: Staff Updates, Castle Siege Discussions. You are free to congratulate for new staff members / Castle Siege winners.
