Title: Requesting thread to be closed
Post by: Your Point Is Invalid on July 22, 2016, 12:28:42 AM
I want this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1446606.0) thread to be closed, the OP made a small mistake in his post and because no-one here takes the time to read before posting, people are still posting garbage even after I cleared up OP's mistake

Did you request OP to do it, maybe via PM?
Edit: Although that might be useless, seeing that OP wasn't around for a month.

He was last active about a week ago, sending him a pm would be a waste of my time

And opening a thread wouldn't?
Anyhow, IIRC the forum rarely gets involved in such matters, good luck with your attempt to change the policies on that.

The forum will do it if they care about stopping the spam that the thread and threads like that are generating

Just report the thread. The mods should take care of it if it's neccessary. If it's not, requesting here won't make a difference. Just put a message "Please delete; Irrelevant' or something.

YPII, that thread is obviously renting space in your head, even though you strangely think it's not worth your time to PM that dude.  I suggest just ignoring it.

I had the same problem with that idiotic "bitcoin for cupcakes" thread.  The OP posted once or twice and then disappeared--and it was obvious that's what happened.  But people kept asking over and over and over "How you goin ship cupcake oversea.  It stay fresh?"

Drove me absolutely nuts.  But I let it go eventually.

If a thread has gone horribly off topic or if there is an excessive amount of trolling and no legitimate discussion is taking place in the thread then the moderators may lock a thread.

You could also say that thread is a low/no value thread (it is probably close to it), and as a result it should be locked.
