I have nothing to add to this discussion except to note that Tony K.'s selection of the House avatar is perfect!

I remember posting the message above in another thread a while back. I'm curious as to why it has been given its very own thread instead of simply being deleted. Is it to serve as an example to others what a spam post is? If so, I see, oh, about a 1000 similar posts a day that are not awarded this special treatment. I'd appreciate some insight from the relevant mod/admin; either in this thread or by PM would be fine.

I remember that too. You really did post it in another thread (goodness only knows which; I've completely forgotten). Its timestamp is interesting. I didn't notice this thread until just now; was it only just created, or has it been around since about the time you made the "spam" post? And why did whichever Mod or Admin who made this thread not - at the very least - explain that this was going to be a name-and-shame thread. Coming seemingly out of the blue like this is strange.

Very strange.

Yeah.. somebody must've accidentally split this from the original thread and mislabeled it "spam." Anyway, while I do appreciate the sentiment of said post about my House avatar, there doesn't seem to be any further use for this "thread," so I'm locking it.
