I think you are touching upon the problem, that you are now faced with doing a lot of them in one go. Regular and far more frequent use of the "delete" button would have prevented this unfortunate situation....may be it is time to start NOW

I don't feel it's worth being deleted, but rather moved. Notice the amount of new posts in this past hour that have come through this thread and the football one.

Perhaps off-topic / non-automotive-tech speak can be good. It'd be a shame to see this forum die. You know if all spam gets put in here you can ignore the thread and it'll all be good in the end.

I was referring to car related threads. In particular two cars seem to attract oozes of nonsense, the Corvette and the Skyline, if you are able to keep such threads on topic that would be a major achievement....

Sheez you may as well just put this in the Australia forums !

"all threads" ?
"out of hand" by who's definition ?

There's gonna be blood on the walls further down this path

Sorry. I kind of overemphasized that. I meant the threads that get retardedly off-topic and members start to complain. I'm by no means going out on an easter-egg hunt and looking for spam, it's just on an occasional basis.

Thought it'd be better to move it here than to delete it forever.

yes but how do you KNOW that ?
It might be the zero'th post in another thread which passed the trans-dimensional boundary to here.
This post was made in the sub-forum only visible to deities ... so *I* want to know who 's playing god and moved it here .....

There are tow options fro "delete". One does NOT remove it forever

The only posts removed forever are the ones about David's sister, and all those posts can be found here.

Perfect example of how acts which sound reasonable can fall over.
WHich is worse ... losing useful information ......
OR
having to put posters/threads into ignore lists and skip over irrelvant posts

... and so it begins ....
