First of all, I named no names, and that was intentional.
Secondly, the point of my post was not to single out individuals and yell "Stone 'em to death !", but instead:
- to point out that it is an issue for me
- to see if other people share my feelings, or I am just wacky and imagining things, or I am oversensitive
- if other people feel the same way, we can do something about it.

I've also suggested some of the things I thought might be useful: isolating spam threads, creating a subforum, etc.

The solution is definitely not banning people, and I'd like to point out that I've never even hinted at this. Please re-read my original post. I'm sorry it has gotten that far. There is no need for such immediate drastic measures at all.

Another reason I made this post is because I'm sure some of the posters were not even aware others may qualify their posts as spam, and simply raising the issue may solve the problem. Everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt, after all.

I'm pretty sure that now that BKS is back things will go back to normal and we'll get back to living like a big happy family.

And, Tosa, I believe this thread has served its purpose, and you may close it at your discretion. Thank you.
