    Spamming This Forum - You will be banned

    In the past it has been suggested by people above Brad that the Chit Chat forum should be eliminated and it is stupid multiple threads about cats that might bring that about. I happen to like Chit Chat (although I'm not here a lot)
    and I want to keep it around so if I see any further cat threads or the like I will ban the poster. I don't mind 2 or 3 similar-subject threads, but two pages full is rediculous.

    Edit: Most of the cat threads have now been deleted.

    I agree with the sentiment about repeat threads, and I never saw those, but I assume that they were.....err.....copy...cats?

    Edit: Ok, I see them now.

    Bring back the "***********************" threads!!!

    I agree whole-heartedly.

    Ban these clowns. What is the point of posting a thread that has no purpose?
