"I Am Going To Quit" Discussions Need Warnings

I think that there really needs to be a crack down on the "I Am Going To Quit" discussions for two reasons.
The largest is that the forums is meant to be a welcoming place and is often a gateway by means of introduction to the CC community. As a new person imagine coming onto the forums and seeing all these threads about how people are quitting. It probably leave a bad taste in your mouth and make you think twice about playing CC. We have activity walls for a reason and that is the ideal place for such posts.
Secondly they do not contribute to anything. For most who create these posts they are not widely known to the community say like a moderator. Meaning that most do not care if that person is quitting because they are a stranger and it does not effect them directly. It makes me sad to see any member of our community leave but is less of an impact when I never met them. These threads disappear within a day and their purpose of communicating their leave becomes irrelevant as it disappears with new topics being added. Again a better lasting place would be their wall.
We have rules that enforce a healthy community like no discussing politics. A new rule needs to be added and enforced, if we hope to continue having a ever growing community that stays strong.
I will refrain from going on a rant about how over eighty percent of individuals who say they are going to quit do not and when looking at their discussion history they will have two or more "I Quitting" discussions in less than a year period. Boils my dumplings lol.

I think it is the reindeer that you gave to me that has linked our thoughts :P
It seems like the I'm Quitting posts would be fine for activity feeds (as then your friends would see it if they peruse the activity feeds), but are becoming inappropriate for the forums.
It's sad though, the one or two threads that are honest...hey I've had a good time, but I need to step away for a bit due to RL, are threads I don't mind reading - and I'd like to wish them well even if I don't know them. But I have to agree, we are getting bogged down with the questionable quitting threads.
I think an update to the community description needs to be made.
People can use their wall in future.
I'll talk to @Horus about it.
Users need to utilize their activity wall for such messages.
Instead of posting a thread, that I bet a bunch of people'll see even if they aint yo friends, is useless.
I think its kind of like for attention.
Anyways I think the "Hi and goodbye" meants hiatuses, not quitting :P
Its fine to say goodbye, but do so calmly. Its not very considerate to start ranting about something you dont like about any game. Especially scammers. No game developers can really stop them. It just happens.
