have the posts about people reaching certain levels been banned or something?

over the lkast few days i have seen a few, but when i click to look at them

404****Page Not Found

Here Be Monsters

what gives?

is it because people dont like getting 11 points free any more?

i mean i can understand why they are getting blocked, if that is the case.

but wasnt it just harmless fun?

Dang, so close…

yea, they moved it to one particular post now. Thats too bad because I liked hearing about people who went up, but to find out about it now I have to go look for that post and I havent done that since they made the change.

But congrats to everyone who has gone up recently.

I get 11 points for this?

yeah i honestly can say i haven’t checked it out since the change first happened either!

Ah, I see… 10 for a post and 1 for the spice up.

I checked it when I hit Thai, but only because I went there to post. I expect it’ll be a ton o time before I go back, since the next level is so much farther away…

SIGH

Just go to the Water Cooler group page

http://community.spiceworks.com/group/show/274-water-cooler

and it’s an Announcement, so no searching necessary.

Don’t be surprised if this post disappears too. I’d delete it but I don’t want my banhammer to get banhammered.

I kinda disagree here. There are obviously people who aren’t aware of the new rule in the forum. Perhaps a reminder is not such a bad thing.

there is no reason for this page to get deleted surely? it is not a page for the 11 points, or to say i have levelled, it is just a general Q&A about this subject.

Banhammer gone mad?

The self-congratulatory posts began to get out of hand.

While it’s cool to celebrate the advancement of a level, they started to become free point grabs and that diluted the real reason for points which is to award people for useful, meaningful contributions to the community.

On a better note, its up on the front page of the water cooler and has been for a week or so i think.

Looks like this was a free 11 points post tbh lol.

Not that its cheating :slight_smile:
