Re: Forum admin's dilemma.
If it is over-advertisement that keeps going on then the user should be warned. The problem might partly also be that the traffic on these forums aren't that high. Most sub-forums you can reach 2009 by scrolling down slightly()... so if posters promote their games it will likely feel more recurring due to lack of other posts. Obviously no player of a MUD will suggest someone to try a MUD they don't have much experience with themselves.
What gets a bit silly is when you see someone ask "What MUD should I play?" and you see the same poster as always reply, suggesting that their game is a perfect fit. How general are those games?
That's bringing a thread off topic and the thread could be split into two. If a poster does it very often then maybe give a warning. A moderator could try push the thread back to the original topic. A thread might seem to go off topic though while it is the natural progression of the discussion.
