I guess "+1" might not be directly considered as a smiley, but I feel the meaning of the rule is also applicable in this case. Though, you are right that it's not directly mentioned in the rules.
As moderator it's also our "duty" to keep this forum and its topics clean and the discussion healthy.
I feel that by removing the "+1"-posts, the topic can get back on track with what it was about.
Actually, I totally agree with the admins on this case and would have acted directly the same. If you feel like, you don't have anything to say about the topic except a "+1", then simply don't post anything. If you feel like there is some point that is important, writing 2-3 sentences explaining yourself isn't so hard and it gives the discussion some more depth. It also invites other people to join into the discussion if they see that this is an active topic were multiple people are expressing their opinions.
If you want to add to a discussion, then do so. But by spamming "+1" and quoting the previous poster and so on, you don't add anything towards the original topic except stretching the useful posts of the discussion over multiple page, thus rendering the discussion impossible.
Of course you can do this in the offtopic section, but it still needs to contain a good topic name, if you are following the
rules. And about the general forum rules. Actually, if you would check specific the regulations on this forum you would realise they are not really rules. It doesn't say anywhere "you should do this, you should do that". It's formulated as a plea "please do ..., please don't"
The rules are of course not so strict and regulated for each specific case, because this forum should develop a community that is not regulated, but uses the forum to interact and share with each other in a grown up way.

they would get an instantaneously 2-3 day ban from me. I mean, the moderators are only people committing their free time to help this community. They are not paid by nadeo, they just love this community so much that they decided to give something back. And even they can have sometimes a bad day or can overreact, but contrary to other normal forum users, this usually happens rarely. Exceptions are if there is one similar case is coming up again and again over the years or if people pushing the moderators limits by putting oil into the fire. It might be this people enjoy it, had a bad day or are simply trolls, but never troll a moderator as he has usually the means to react to it in the way he and the moderator teams seems to fit.
Just my two cents. Enjoy reading it.
