Due to an abundance of topics filled with low quality replies, we are banning all topics where the only reasonable reply is insubstantial content. This was already the rule:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.
...
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.

Off topic is a section for any other topics that do not fit into any other sub, however, it is not a subforum for account farmers to lazily spam their way through the ranks and doing so will no longer be tolerated. If you are caught spamming unsubstantial posts just to farm or rank up your account your account(s) will be immediately permabanned without warning.

An example of what threads aren't allowed and posts that won't be tolerated:

You will not be banned for making a few one word posts in those sorts of threads, but if all your posts are just spammed in them as quickly as possible it is clear to see what you are doing. Adding a few more words or stretching out your sentences does not magically make your posts constructive either. You can still have as many accounts as you want but you cannot spam from them. Doing so on even one will run the risk of having all your accounts banned. This is the only warning you will get.

Note: This rule applies to the entire forum not just off topic so this doesn't mean to say you can now find other subs to spam. If all your posts are short and spammy and it is clear you are only making them for either signature payment or to farm then you will still be banned. Put a bit of effort into your posts and you will be fine.
