It's important to note that those are the rules that have been in effect. There's nothing new. Her post was just to make sure everyone was aware of them, so that there's no excuse when the warnings were implemented. Those are not new either, they just haven't been used for a while.

The single word/smilie rule was put into effect several years ago because some members were going through all the current threads and posting only smilies on each. So the entire list of most recent posts was just those smilie only posts.

So don't spam smilies on every thread or "bump" threads with the word "bump". ;) Other than that, I wouldn't worry. I think I was the only one even aware of or that has referenced that rule.

I had read them, though must have missed or forgotten the one word bit, I understand that it was all in place already but will be enforced more often in future.
I have been guilty of the single smiley and even 'bump' to help out an unanswered question a few days old when I couldn't help.
I'll watch it in future.
Thanks , Cameron. :)

Good afternoon. I am currently partaking in a cup of tea in the sunshine (yes on a British bank holiday weekend!) at Oxford Services on the M40. I decided I also needed a chocolate muffin to give me the energy for the dreaded M25. (For our overseas readers that's the orbital motorway way round London)

Time to flip a coin. Clockwise or anti-clockwise? Distance much the same. Get stuck at Heathrow or the Dartford Crossing?

It's a shame.
I'm sure I'd find all of that fascinating.
