    Your post was funny, but now that I have a limited supply of wrecks, I'm not sure it was sponge worthy.

Back-ASS-wards. The thing that really bothers me is that the reason for their blatant abuse is predicated on lies and ridiculous assumptions propogated by the manipulative clan leader.
    Makes you wonder just who rec'd this post. Anyone want to fess up? We know don't we. It's fun to see you fall for the trap. Ha ha.😀

    I say we limit wrecks, and punctuation. How many commas per month is reasonable?

    Do you feel partly responsible for the abuse of the system?
    Was your surprisin ...[text shortened]... to my post, proving that a screenshot can be faked, a weak attempt to defend one of your clans?

    Nope

    explain why he quoted me?

    Russ I am sorry I posted a fake forum posting as a response to Hop's question I quoted.

    Do you feel partly responsible for the abuse of the system?
    No, not at all.

    Was your surprising reply to my post, proving that a screenshot can be faked, a weak attempt to defend one of your clans
    I defend straight out attacks on my clan. I would have responded the same had you attacked my clan, but you did not attack my clan. Therefore, I did not defend my clan.

    I am against limiting punctuation, it's bad enough we can't use commas in the private forums. But we should limit smileys and alcohol consumption.

    Well we have the infamous comma-spammer of 2005 to thank for that. 😠

    I certainly think we should limit alcohol consumption by smileys.

    What I propose is that we set a limit on the number of recommendations a subscriber may make in one month, and my initial suggestion is that this limit should be no more than 10.
    So how is 10 posts per week month or year or whatever going to keep you guys from ganging up? You will still just pin point your hate posts. Nothing changed just less is more. How about letting me in your clans so I can take some real screen shots. Fair? Why not? You have something to hide? 🙄
