Your Attention, Please:

This was an announcement to everyone, not just for those few who were already causing problems. Are you suggesting that I instead spammed every single member's email with a similar message, or would you have preferred I spent countless hours rounding up the ever-changing addresses, most of them fake anyway, of those who we got complaints about every day? Come to think of it, just how ripe do those buds have to be before they're nipped? You make it sound like even the greenest ones should be nipped, BUD.

Your method would have been fine if it could have worked, but it couldn't have, so there we have it. This way was harsh, yes, but I'm happy to report that it seems to have actually worked to a greater extent than I thought it would, and even happier to say that because of this things should start getting interesting around here soon. My thanks to everyone who has helped bring about these positive changes.
