I'm sorry.  I don't understand what you meant.  Are you saying it's against the spirit of soliforum to discourage spamming?  I'm all for hearing of people's actual experiences, but I'm talking about when someone posts the same provocative thing a dozen times in different threads just to stir things up.  I don't really learn a lot the 11th time I've read something, especially if a post that just says "xxxx sucks" and nothing more.

No, the opposite. Spamming is against what we are about as it would be disruptive and most of the community and staff would be against it.

Re: Forum Rules

suggestions:

Remind everyone to read and use the search function before asking a question.

Maybe create a single NSFW section for the inevitable dirty things to come of 3D printing (this might also be a good place for people who are adamantly opposed to using clean language.)

A section for printers that are not Solidoodle

A section for building printers and everything that goes along with that

Simple "ratings" system similar to facepunch forum where you can "agree" or "disagree" (and whatever other ones you would add) with posts made

that is all thank you

I edit my posts a lot.

Re: Forum Rules

It would be nice to rate posts, then be able to sort a search by rating.  Then you know you're following the right advice and not just someone's thought that didn't work out.

Agreed, and maybe a kudos system, which can track a user's overall contribution to the community. People kudos users for good posts.
