Re-posts, why can’t FR itself do a search for you, and run by some potential candidates?

“those never get old... and neither do “hold muh-beer,” alerts...”

You were referring to the posting “hugh and series”, “stuned beeber”...and “hold muh-beer”. You don’t have to trust me, but in my opinion, those are the most #*%&$&^(! irritating “I have nothing more intelligent to say” posts of all time.

How about Catholic-baiting/pro-Protestant open Religion Forum posts or Protestant-baiting/pro-Catholic open Religion Forum posts followed by the inevitable Catholic/Protestant hater/bigot whines when someone on the "other side" comments/complains?

Or, I know...how about LABELS in general?

Nothing to see here . . . move along.

Pick up the white courtesy phone.

Remember "Clean up in Aisle 3"? That was back before the Abuse button.

Paragraphs are your friend.

“Take all those away plus what was posted will give us blank pages on threads ...”

SkyDancer, you have just hit the nail on the head. That’s one of the reasons I lurk rather than post very often. Used to be folks said something intelligent, gave some insight, shared something that was worthy rather than sound like a bunch of ignorant punks giving each other high-fives in an echo chamber.

That would be nice as an option, but I think it would bog the system down as SOP. An alternative: a tool the admins can invoke that will pull multiple threads into a single merged thread and "do the right thing" when people reference links into the original threads.
