And another thing. If you really want to encourage good threads and don't have a yearning for jackbooted moderators prowling the aisles (which we luckily don't have here), you should support the Thread Spotlight thread I recently posted.

Anyone who has studied psychology knows that negative reinforcement (i.e., jackbooted moderators) is the WORST way to stop bad behavior. The trick is to find ways to POSITIVELY REINFORCE good behavior. That was the whole intent of my thread.

Just search on Thread Spotlight and you should find it easily enough. Write about threads you want to encourage.
