The Spam Thread (RIP)

Okay, I'll do this the right way and put it to the mods politely and calmly and not use words like 'power trip', 'evil', 'disfunctional' and 'Alcar' in the same sentence.

But seriously, I think it was a mistake for you to get rid of the spam thread. The main reason for getting rid of spam is because it gets in the way of a normal thread. But the spam thread was not disturbing anyone in its little niche filled with shoe and puppy-based discussion. In fact it may have actually reduced the spam elsewhere because now people don't have to interrupt a legitimate thread about Stranger to get everyone up to date on their new haircut. Plus, on a more personal level, I think the spam thread was a great way for us to get to know each other better outside of the constraints of a specific topic; the discussion could twist and turn just like conversations in real life.

So, to summarize, say what you want about me. I can take the slings and arrows, but stop slandering our poor, defenseless Spam Thread.
