Its clear that over the last couple of days, a massive effort to clean up the forum is underway. All new post that are meant to flame are edited out (deleted) but the thread is not closed - this is a great Idea! Why let a troll spoil it for everyone? Just delete out the trolls and leave the thread, this will be popular with everyone(except the trolls).

I thank Ben and all the Mods working hard to keep the forums clean. I know its a lot of work but the effort is truly appreciated.

Yeah, it's a lot better that way, but when I see a strand of 5 or 6 deleted posts it does make me wonder what I missed.

Check out the lesser visited forums for spam please. They are really declining because of the spam, I believe.
Like Tech forum...

I think they went a little crazy with the cleanup. Some innocent people got targeted as a result.
