The only tournament I really go into is my own that I have done since 2009. I feel like if the tournament is like the show, then the thread should allow the chatter. The chatter starts and ends with the game, after that then it goes elsewhere.

Because we put trust that people follow the rules and we were tipped off about it, so we are discussing it.
Rules can change, yes, so maybe they will change we are talking about it. If it doesn't then oh well. If you have this big problem with the the rules that have been in tact for years that you are now seeing when it is clearly sticked as a thread to see, then you can go find a different forum if you don't like it.

And it's different if the games being posted are stagnant which mine weren't.
You're not even making valid points to my arguments you're beating around the bush.
Maybe you need an overhaul of these rules you set and reorganize and rethink logically

The one game per person limit is to prevent one person from flooding the whole forum with their games. It's to make it fair for all the hosts.
But we're still discussing this particular case, since it's partly our fault for not stopping you before. We might allow the already started games to be finished.

You're contradicting yourself. YOUR Show can do it but ours can't because...
give us a valid reason.

It's not just me it's multiple users here who have that problem. And the person who tipped us off, why don't you check if they were involved in the actual "spam chatter" cause I'm 100% sure they were.
It's games, freewill should be exhibited to an extent. It's not like we're firing insults and reporting each other....we're all friends in our own distinct forums and I don't feel we should be told to not speak to each other as we do.
Rule change is necessary their shouldn't be a need to think.

It's not my intention to get in the middle of this but I think he has a point. Why would you close his and only his threads? There are several people who have more than one game thread running at the moment and they remained open, their owners should've been sent a reminder at the very least. It comes off as a very biased act.
And I agree the Games section needs to be moderated, if none of the current moderators is interested you should consider adding someone else to take over that specific task.
Just my two cents.

That would be reasonable the nicki Minaj one can be shut down I don't really care. But the worst albums and the Britney one are the two that I took time with

This was not enforced, so it doesn't matter. He didn't even know.

Matty's game was Big Brother. The chatter WAS the game as far as I understood it.
Then it's not offtopic.

I agree with this. You guys dont even give us exact reasons. You didnt even answer my post.
Its obvious that you dont have any good arguments to back the rule.

Well if you or the Mods took the time to read the game description it says

You can talk on here about whatever but talking about who you're voting for should probably be through PM's.

IT'S PART OF THE GAME TOO

But in BB it really is the point of the game to forge alliances and backstab people and stuff like that. I can imagine the "general chatter" always centered around this type of strategizing. I'm not about to read the whole thing, but I assume the Survivor thread used to be like this as well. If they stick to that, it's fine.

Da fuq... I'm defending your thread because the thread is basically the same exact thing

Because I closed them then noticed there were others like him, so I went to the mods before I closed anymore to figure out what we are going to do about this issue. His can be re-opened they aren't even gone. There is a possibility for them to be re-opened and finished and make the rule known since others didn't see the sticked thread. We are all still talking about it.

It's stickied as GAME RULES... how is that not enforced when it's right there for you to read?

Honestly for BB, it's like the house they can chat and whatever. When an update is made they give their reactions about the game and some mild insults if they don't agree. It's just for fun. From what I saw the Survivor thread was the same way.

Oh we do have alliances and backstabbing in this game, too.
Some are really surprising.

It's the same, but we're stranded on an Island.

I'm defending mine because it's been going on for a longer time with nothing wrong
But my thread in the past has gotten reported because of NHB worthy insults and everything and they were warned. Just saying that as a precautionary.
