Aye to the original post...
However, I feel some sympathy to the moderators. Can't be easy trying to check through all the topics on a regular basis, especially if they are doing this after work. Perhaps there should be a number of moderators for each area to split the workload a little (I'm assuming each area currently has only 1 moderator...probably wrongly).
I can't really see anything wrong with this thread as it is a valid discussion point. I think it's fair to say that there are three or four totally pointless threads which have been started today / yesterday which need to be dealt with and stopped....that's where the moderators need to concentrate.
