I think you get the idea...by the time I finish this post, there will probably be ten more spam threads... :rolleyes:

Please mods, do we have to go through yet another phase of "Ask A..." threads? It was already decided a while ago that overdoing it with them is warnable or even bannable, yet nothing happens and a new spawn of these threads has overrun the General forum :(

Now we're going to have "reporting ask a..." threads spam :rolleyes:

There's like three threads in moderation now. Seriously, we only need one (and mine was the original) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=409094) :D

Mods, perhaps you could merge the three threads in Moderation complaining about "Ask A..." or something? We have almost as many complaint threads as we do "Ask A..." threads now.
:P

And those "ask a" complain treads are getting irritating too. ;)

Yeah, it looks like we were all making them at the same time.

I can't delete it on my own? I always thought you could. Oh well.

I almost posted one, but luckily I noticed EWT's thread before I posted.

He obviously posted it while I was making mine, because I know mine took me more than 2 minutes to make. We all had the same idea at the same time, it seems.

Considering that the three reporting spam threads were merged, the General spam will probably be gone shortly. :)

Actually, no. I have time for a simple task like that, but now work rears its ugly head. Maybe after this meeting ...

Which means the spam will go forth and multiply in your absence... :p

In my defence, I think my one about the ear (which is true, by the way) provides an insight into the prejudice that people with deformities face, so it has some use. That's the way I intended it anyway - a serious 'Ask a...' thread.

Perhaps I should have called it something else...can the mods do that?

"Ask a ..." threads have been added to the endangered species list (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8575866&postcount=45) once again.

I don't really know how close he got, but I'm sure the idea was suggested. :)
