When Posting:

Spamming includes:

 Posting something completely irrelevant to the topic

It's right there in the previous pages, read over it yourself. Asking for an update will simply fill the thread with idle chatter on things already discussed.

 Do not get mad if someone expresses their opinion in an adult way
 After having received a derogatory or degrading response report it to an admin, do not reply yourself.

 Accept constructive criticism. No one's perfect, you included.

No one on this site is expected to reply to anyone else. What you do and say is done under your own free will.
