These threads have been against the rules for a few months, but the rule wasn't enforced before because I thought that if someone is posting a thread like that, they couldn't care less about the rules. However, I think that if the punishment is listed with the rule, people will think twice before impulsively posting these threads.
From now on, anyone that posts an "I'm quitting" thread will be banned, either permanently or for how long they claim to be quitting for. After all, if you really are quitting, then you shouldn't mind the punishment, but if you're just doing it to get attention or sympathy, maybe the possibility of being banned will make you think twice about how your actions will affect the future.
If you're going to be away (temporarily or permanently), you can change your status to Away in your user CP and/or post in the Hi/Bye Thread without breaking the rules.
