For some reason, lately there seems to have been a number of threads (particularly in GQ) that have been shut down _very_ quickly. So I was wondering about starting a thread to invent topics you _know_ would be like a red flag to all the moderators.  
You might think I’m doing this just to see how long it might take the mods to shut \*this \* thread down. No - my motives are of the purest and noblest quality. 😃  
Yes, you could say I am doing this as an SDMB service by illustrating to others what NOT to post. :rolleyes:  
Actually, I’m doing this because this is going to be one heck of a fun thread don’t you think?

Well just to get things started, some threads that could have the moderators sit up and take notice are:  
[ul]Hi Dopers. Now that we’ve learned about ‘how to jump your electric meter’, I’m looking for other ways to stretch my household expense dollar. Therefore, “How do I get free HBO” ?[/ul]

[ul]I’m one of the younger Dopers so maybe some older folks can tell me what my Mom and Dad do almost every night. They sure make quite a racket and usually end up out of breath. I think they might be exercising. Sometimes when my Dad is away, a neighbor comes over and helps my mother exercise too. (My Mom’s quite a health nut huh?) Any suggestions about setting up a low-light-situation video camera so I can see what they are doing?[/ul]

[ul]I’m a rich Nigerian and you could make _ **millions** _ of dollars. What is your bank account number?[/ul]

[ul]Your credit card number is a clue to your personality. Don’t believe me? Just enter your credit card number and I’ll give you a complete personality profile.[/ul]

[ul]How can I defeat and/or bypass all those energy-grabbing anti-pollution devices in my automobile engine?[/ul]

Okay, how about some of the other SDMB folks out there?
