Are you talking about the "heated" spam thread? If so, then I agree. We don't need another epidemic of 15-20 heated threads taking over the forums.

i didn't know mods still existed.

I'm saying that because there are too many things on here that are breaking the guidelines, such as nsfw profile pictures. I'm not trying to be a nuisance, but please do something about it.

There are 100,000+ accounts made each day and it's not possible to monitor everything. There are some automated processes that can catch some but of you run across something, please report it.

So ain't pinned anymore, huh?

Avatar of Actually_Forgot_My_Name

I think this should stay pinned, Martin. I believe any new members of OTF should see this thread and learn that they should not interact with spam threads. Or just anyone in general.

Sure, it looks a bit weird above the rules, but it's still basically the first thing you see anyways. Plus, in General Chess Discussion (GCD), there are five pinned posts above the guidelines post.

Maybe create a new one, lock it and pin it

Oh yeah, that would probably be a good idea!
