I know this is very stupid to discuss about but Some Forum games have a specific rule and people are overabusing it. Hell, even the creator of the game is
In change a word game, it says that you can change/add/or remove only one letter.

Abuse of game sample

Glee

Quote:
Plea


And in make a word game, the title says "Make a Word" and people are all of a sudden adding actual words or someone they know.

Abuse of game sample
Quote:
Someone who steals bikes

My boss


Shouldn't they at least change partial of the rules or manage that forum game in some sort?

The second issue is that most of the games are constantly buttfked by 1-3 members. Can a rule be applied to forum games like word-change, what would you do, make a word and all that other forum games to apply this rule?

You may only post every fifth time. That means a minimum of four different people must be between each of your posts. This is to limit the number of people who post every other user. That is considered spam and post-whoring and you will be warned.

Look man, I barely read this topic, but this was hilarious.

If this is what Forum games is becoming, I like it.

True but shouldn't the rules include something that this can be allowed?
Thats like i can put as much words as i want in word association that compare to "Dump" in posts

That's why rules are made. And seeing as there are several individuals who break them, why not warn them? Really, this issue arises in some games.

Either that, or reword the rules all together.

In my earnest opinion, Blue is being too lenient with you kids- Both of those games do not require any logical thinking at all, as all you do is say the first thing that comes to mind. While the section's rules keep out the lowest forms that the section creates, I feel as if they're not being enforced to their fullest extent- though this may simply be the participant's fault for not exercising the potential it has. I'm not sayin' we should go all edutainment, but some of that stuff is just a waste of time~

I can't add any fancy features to add rules for how often you can post in that section, so it's really up to the person who made the game to make sure everyone abides by the rules they set

But can you at least tell blue to add that to the set of forum game rules in that section?

Or better yet, how about adding some rules/guidelines for starters?

*goes to get blue*

Cleod, you can't get a blue color, silly. I'll get Blue since you screwed up.


A guideline could actually work, because if you have a basis on the game you're going to make, it will be more organized.

1) Purge the Make a Word game. It's spawned stupidity of a higher power.

2) Set up guidelines for forum games...again.

I swear, didn't we set up new guidelines like a year ago?

New guys just keep not following them.

Isn't Make a Word the same thing as Mcleodictionary?

We used to make up words all the time, so it's similar.

Then yeah, it's the same thing, which gives an official reason for the Make a Word to be purged, as there is already a topic for it.
