I don't really read many threads on HLP (if it's not about modding, or info, or scfi-fi) then I skip it. So I never get bothered by these other thread. (if they like a spam/flame thread they can have it!) as for telling people not to spam

That's the WORST thing you can do... Like running a white train in NY (Tagged by end of the night)
Fianlly you have to remember the maturity level of users varies (and NO I'm not picking on the younger crowd, age has NOTHING to do with it)...
Admins have the final job/responsibility to leave a thread or shut it down. It makes to sense to agonize over one in the meantime. If it really bothers you, avoid it! :wink:
