  |  Why close it? What's the reason after a thread gets spammed and cleared, that that thread is closed? Sometimes I'd like to comment on the ironic or funny statements made addressing that spam by other forum members, but if the thread is closed, I can't do that. Oh, and could you hurry up and finish eating Compuxp so you can answer this for me? |

| Re: Why close it? my guess is because it would be disruptive.

 We don't want people replying actually interested in the offer, though, and we don't want space (database) and bandwidth used in threads of lousy spam posts. We don't see a need for spam posts being bumped to the top of a thread again. But, the policy can be up for discussion/debate.

| Re: Why close it? Okay, well, It is my humble, and mostly disregarded opinion, that perhaps they should be kept open, because as long as the damaging part of the message has been removed...ie, the links, then why not trash the spammer, and what better place to do it than in their very own thread? |

| Re: Why close it? I don't disregard your opinion I'll ask kenni and the rest of the team and we'll see what conclusion we come up with. I think you have a good point and it needs to be noticed.

| Re: Why close it? Thanks, I didn't mean to imply that you disregarded my opinion, or anyone here for that matter, I was just kidding.  |
