Since this motion was never enacted and the general populous of FT had the understanding that OMNI posts were as valuable a part of FT as the rest of the forums some of us are confused as to why this change occurred so suddenly and without, in our feelings, just cause.
BINGO majorwibi! It's the dirty secret no one wants to admit. I can understand the argument from those that post in "real" forums (their words not mine) that their hard earned post counts get devalued when someone in a game forum speeds past them. But why punish everyone in OMNI and create a two-class system because of the infractions of a handful who could easily be spoken to, suspended or given technical time minimums between successive posting?
