I'd also like to request that threads not get pointlessly "bumped", as posts all over the forum with the word "bump" and nothing adding to the thread itself are actually becoming spam themselves. If a particularly nasty thread appears at the top and you do wish to bury it with a real thread,
please try to add to the conversation in the thread you're going to push up, if you can.
Or maybe start a new thread with a new topic of discussion if you can't add anything to an existing thread. I
completely understand the desire to hide the top thread if the top thread is nasty so that newbies don't see that first, but filling the forum with blank, useless posts to hide them doesn't help the forum look good either, and gives us mods even
more to delete when we get here to check on the situation.
Suggestion: Would anyone be interested in creating some threads that can be updated daily and therefore pushed up often? A picture of the day thread, a song of the day, quote, video, etc? Maybe the currently active members could vote on selections, or everyone simply posts their own and reminisces? There's much more productive ways to hide the spam thread without resorting to spam as well.
