Not that any of this is critically important to me since I won't be initiating any more threads. I'm just offering a solution that goes beyond deleting posts, which, as far as I've seen, has done nothing to improve the situation.
And therein lies the problem for T2W.
This I would suggest is not exclusive to db there are any number of posters who have in essence withdrawn their services due to the rising level of white noise.
timsk in essence you are endorsing the previously suggested solution of the thread author becomes the thread moderator, with an appeal process to the T2W moderation team.
I agree, this is probably the way forward.
