wtf
last 3 pages look like some sort of ffa drama shitposting
As a moderator, I think you are aware of the fact you can delete the unnecessary comments consisting mostly in pointless drama, as well as preventing those who contribute to the constant spam fest to post on the thread.
You can ask nicely for as much time as you like, some people don't understand basic demands unless they are followed by actual punishments/restrictions. Just because the previous NWWCs became notorious shit-post threads, reaching 100 pages of useless and generally idiotic comments doesn't mean you have to make it the norm.
Not every publicity is good to take.
