Heh. Yeah, I'm feeling vengeful lately and I'm not playing favourites, so that was probably a good idea. ;) Night, everyone.

I, hereby bestow you with my personal phrase so you can apprehend further internet criminals:
I guess you can change it for "suspended" in your case

Yeah, please fucking stop with that. Just fucking report and move the fuck on. I'm going to start suspending for that too soon.

repeat ...
This is first and foremost a UI fail (assuming that the average SG forum user is not just a moron)
2 quick fixes:
Both of these measures take only a couple of minutes to implement and should render users more aware of this issue.
A way more "expensive" solution would be something like this:
Ajax - Check for similar thread before posting a new one

The issue with your assumption is that you assume the average SG forum member is not a moron. This is not correct and I have the evidence to back me up on this.

I was mainly trying to be polite. My point is, give the users that have the potential of non-moronic behavior a chance to not behave like a moron and deal with the others as best as you can.
If people are supposed to follow certain rules or etiquette when creating a new topic, then make them aware that such rules exist. The "create a discussion" page contains the words "Title", "Body" and "Create Your Discussion", that's it.
The FAQ, closest thing to visible rules on this site, does have a "Chat Room, Forum, and Site Etiquette" chapter, but it doesn't contain anything about the issues you're complaining about - or at least not in a clear and easily understandable form.
Anyways, complaining about "idiots" here and "morons" there doesn't help. Handing out suspensions and bans based on non-accessible (= non-existing) rules doesn't help either, at least not in the long run.

The rules don't say anything about not scamming people either, but I have people trying to contest me handing out bans for that. Common sense is an unwritten rule throughout all of life.

/agree
I understand that your abilities at this point are far more limited than you'd like, but maybe you can find in my post (and any other post in the complaint threads you created lately) stuff that you can pass on to the power in charge to enhance the overall SG experience...

The shortest spam suspension is 3 days. Chances are, I'll go light for now and delete it halfway through.

Well, don't say I didn't warn you...
Just suspended someone for yet another fucking Black Mesa thread. The spam is going to stop. Right now.
