I see that the silliness of this thread has distracted the Mods from implementing my [del]demand[/del] suggestion. [Here’s a poster suspended without a “This was the final straw” note.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=784553) This goes directly against my stated [del]demand[/del] request and now I am hopping mad! Mad with anger! I would like to register a formal complaint with the Mod Chowder and Marching Society’s Council of Grand Hierarchics and suggest that Jonathon Chance be thrown in the SDMB’s “Disappeared spam” forum and left to ROT there until he reads every! single! bit! of deleted spam as a just and measured punishment. To the surviving mods. Read this and be warned. And afraid. ---
