Here is one downside to having numerical limits and posting status(displayed or hidden).
Lets say to post in the tech section you need 25 posts, the type of person you are trying to stop posting useless crap in that section, will simply spam posts somewhere in an effort to get to 25 as quickly as possible. So you get 25 spammed messages plus a useless tech question....
The problem is the internet, it's available, and on the whole it's unmoderated(even if this forum is), people can spout whatever crap they want, be it useful or otherwise.
Another example, if you goto some product training confrence somewhere, you usually find that in the day there is some useful info, some slightly less useful info and lots of sales pitches. You just need to concentrate on the good stuff and ignore the bad stuff.
I do however think there is a problem with the "cops are crap" threads, it doesn't do us any favors at all.
I think the NetNazi user definately has a place, that way these forums can be appropriately modereated. Just let it be known to the general public, that there is a user called NetNazi who moderates the forum, all the board members and moderators have access to this account. That way if a thread gets closed no one person can get alienated for making a controversial decision, if the NetNazi closes a thread then it's "the board" that has made the decision.
I dont think NetNazi in tech & conversions has a place yet, I've no idea how to solve that one. I personally find that a really useful thread and try to help out if I can.
I think NetNazi should definately live in General Car Talk, Outhouse & Track Talk, but it has to be a balance where interested topics can be discussed, but the "cops are crap" stuff get's axed quickly.
Sorry for the novel...
*edit* if a thread is bad enough to be locked, why not in certain circumstances such as "cops f*#king with us" just delete the thread, that way no-one can read it's contents, and it's forgotten sooner.
