I was online at the time and I just looked at the title of the topic and knew what to do. I decided then and there to report and move on. If you where online and seen all of the posts and the original post, I'm sure you would of done the same.
There was not a single post you could write that'll follow the rules in the thread, because of it's subject. The closest thing you could get to following the rules is posting "this is against the rules!" and that only bumps the thread and adds to the spam of it.

That's not as easy as it sounds as there is never a clear line drawn on what is spam and what isn't as shown by the rules.
So even if it seems obvious, it might not be because there are no guidelines about spam in the rules to distinguish the difference between real spam and an actual thread.
See, it's easy to say "Don't reply to spam", but when you get down to it, it is easier said then done.
This is an extremely rare case because almost everything has some sort of discussional value, no matter how little. Even if is a thread that says "I had toast for breakfast this morning" and that is all there is in the OP, saying "Cool story bro" would add to the discussion.
As far as I'm concerned, the only way a thread would be spam is if it had nonsense in the OP.
Such as "jwsiojiwecv" as the title and "iwfeiifuw" as the body. Even then, I still don't believe people should be mass banned. Especially since the mods were the ones who allowed it to get so big in the first place.
