heyy i remember i suggested this thread too, though a long time ago
Anyways, this is more or less a suggestion to everybody...Don't reply to spam threads, as you're just bumping it and making more people read it.
Also, I would like to see further development in the off topic section in moderating. Maybe instead of shutting down a thread forever, a mod can temporarily close it and deal with the person who is causing trouble, then reopening it for further discussion for everybody else.
