Please make sure your forum posts are on-topic and making a positive contribution to the topic being discussed. Things like quote trains and such are considered "spam" and clutter up the discussion - please don't do them.
There was a little thing in which we supported a suggestion (which was deleted) by doing powers of two D's in an XD (XDD, XDDDD...) So, apparently, some mod decided to delete EVERY SINGLE ONE of the posts (I can't even bring up the search results, but it seems it was at http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1394109), and send me that message.
Seriously. I have been on a forum for more than 1 year [1], and you think I don't know what "spam" is? what a "quote train" is? I even helped people by explaining things like spam.
A little thing like that should not have warrented an entire admin message and post delete [2]. Just a simple "This is starting to get spammy; please do not quote train..." would suffice.
So, the question is, WHY!?!!!?!!!???!?!?!?!???!!!?!?!!!?!!!
[1] Not all on this forum. Think outside the companion cube.
[2] Some posts were even CONSTRUCTIVE!
PS. You can ignore this, just don't lock it. Please? Free love-its?
Notes:
Yes, that series of ?s and !s has a message.

i think you should contact the ST about this, not posting a topic about it.

I think it's an automated message to make it easier for moderators.

Sometimes moderators take spammy posts and move them out of the forum, then an ST member (whoever it may be at the time) then sends a notification to be less spammy.
If you want, you can use the Contact Us link and them pick option "Inappropriate behavior" or "other" (whichever you feel is best), and the Scratch Team can explain why they felt your posts were spammy in detail.
And no, we can't ignore your thread and leave it unlocked. In cases about specific inquiries, it's better to do it by mail than by forum thread.
