I think most of us see an easy solution to your dilemma - or are you yourself a 'spotter' in which case, of courses, you may wish to 'trawl through the spotters' forum' and will have to put up with it?
If you check my profile, you will see I'm a controller that also has an interest in flying and aircraft. So I will, occasionally, trawl through the Spotters' forum. As has been mentioned in this thread and numerous others, the forum can easily and rapidly become bogged down with non-informational posts.
You're right, this is the place to ask for information as a spotter regarding an unexpected aircraft's arrival. But that's the point I'm making, the forum would run much smoother if the OP would actually state the information they are seeking, rather than hoping people can mind-read.
