    Those threads are considered spam, that's why they shouldn't exist.
    Sure, the original potato army one is considered spam too, but whatever, it was fun. Now that the joke is over, I guess we should stop.

    A quote from @Lockheedmartin, which was posted before locking the Illuminati army thread:

    Lockheedmartin:

    Enough with these army/group stuff. It was funny once, but now it's becoming spam

    Oh and spamming in threads is against the rules if you didn't know:

    Simon:

    2) Spam is against the rules here. Major offenders will be temporarily banned. If you don't have something useful to say, then don't post it at all.

    Also posting large images is against the rules, however, it's not the main reason why army threads are locked, the main reason is the one I talked about first:

    Simon:

    5) Please do not post large images. Many people still use slow internet, and large images will prevent them from reading your threads. If you want, post a hyperlink to the large image instead.

    A user got temporarily banned for making a new army thread after the warnings the moderators made, so I don't recommend making an army thread :)
