Fourthed, or whatever we’re up to. “Should” comments seem to be the source of many hijacks in news threads.

I tighter rein on FQ would be nice, too. [Nobody cares what your mom did in nineteen fifty whatever.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-common-really-was-the-single-income-family-with-working-father-and-stay-at-home-mother/979473/) That thread is 80% pointless clutter by posters who just cannot resist the urge to treat FQ like an IMHO poll. It took 11 hours for a mod to show up and ask if the hijackers should be rewarded for their efforts, then the next day for another to finally ask that it stay on topic.
