No good hero is a one-trick phony.

I'm not going to get into a big ethics or semantics discussion about this, but your constant puns contribute nothing, are getting on people's nerves, and you've done it well more than enough. That could easily be classified as spam.

How about this: the puns have gotten rather old, we'd all appreciate it if you gave it a rest now.

They add some humor and judging on Danny's own participation with puns, it gets people to join in. Theres nothing wrong with having a little pun, or a lot.

While I certainly agree that these puns are not "spam", spam is merely the wrong phrasing. Spam is properly used in reference to either unrecognizably irrelevant content or advertisements with no appropriate context.

These puns are causing people notable duress and there have been repeated requests to stop or to tone them down, all of which were responded to mockingly. At this point the repeated use of puns particularly in reply to repeated requests to cease could reasonably be considered harassment.

So while definitely not spam, certainly something well within grounds of formal punishment.

If you're going to be handing out warnings you need to learn what you're actually warning people for.

SGD is right, this behavior is not only irritating but could be considered rule-breaking. Phoenix was politely asked to stop by other members and he continued his behavior, and as people continued to ask him to stop his responses became more condescending. This isn't about "not being allowed talk about whatever you want" or spamming, this is about ignoring other people's requests to stop this behavior and repeatedly responding to these requests with a snarky, condescending tone.

I would strongly advise stopping the discussion here, or else warnings could be issued.

Also Danny I would suggest showing magpie some respect. He has been an active member of the staff for months and was within his right to say something.

Literally I come back after what seems like an eternity and there is Drama.

I'd rather watch RPDR than this, thanks.
