A Simple fix would be: 1. Create a "Whine and Cheezy" sub forum where mods can move these threads and split useless posts into. 2. Do not allow posts in this sub-forum to populate the "New Posts" page. 3. Create a new metric that counts the number of "Whine and Cheezy" posts from a member and puts that number next to a members thanks count. (This would cut down on the recent "I love Ice Cream and if you agree with me, hit thanks" type threads that we are seeing...) 4. Recognize the outstanding job moderators are doing in attempting to clean up this mess with the tools that they do have. Realize that during a typical national holiday when more members have time and alcohol to fuel these unwanted posts, a moderator is spending his/her personal time to babysit some of us. ...that's all I got.
