My question is, why do I have to wade through a bunch of threads that I never open and go to page 3 to find any topics of use? Is there any reason that these threads add anything at all to these forums? Does anybody agree that a rule should be made against these threads?Besides getting the community involved by posting in these so called "sign here" more or less popular threads, they do not provide an actual distinct discussion topic or purpose for that matter. So therefore, according to the forum rules, if a thread is created without the intention of having a discussion purpose, but rather to become popular or gain attention, it is considered spam.
Spam, regardless of the situation or circumstance, is not allowed or should not be allowed because it violates the rules and standards that are set for us on this site. But I must say that we are the ones who made it a problem to begin with. If we as a community want to make them stop, we should act upon that by reporting these threads instead of replying; and afterwards just moving on to a topic of better interest, in which you can contribute your say.
