In short, there is no excuse for not knowing the rules, especially if you've been here awhile. The rampant abuse of the forums and disregard for its rules ends here. Those who are abusing it will be punished with blocks that grow longer as the abuse continues, culminating in a perma-ban should it go that far. The wiki's forum is for Wiki Ops ONLY. Any discussion needs to go to RangerCrew or RangerBoard.

The other alternative was to disable the forums altogether, which is my preference. However, out of deference to my fellow admins who've wanted the forums to stick around, I decided to exhaust all other options first. People were not learning from warnings, thread deletions, etc. Now they will when they find themselves unable to edit the wiki with a reason of "misusing the forums".
