Ok, but who stops you to post in the Kind you like?
And if you open a Thread, where you want to speak about more serious things, so you can allways remember to stay on topic if you want.
And do the others go on, so can Lynn ask for deleting the Post you dont want to have in this thread.

I see a other thing.
in every Topic, now or in the earlyer Topics, serious or not, sometimes the moment came and the Topic change to joking and off topic.

For your example with my Bush Iran Topic in the german Part of the Forum i can say that is easyer for me to speek serioulsy in German.
And if i look at my other Topics, The DVD`s Topic, and the Star Wars Topic, there is not so much spam.
And why, i look for them. And after some welcome Jokes i go back to Topic.

I go back to topic in my Threads.

That is Important.

It is to easy to say the others that everything is bad, start your Topics you need, and hold them Clean.

Look at the Topic counts in the different parts of the Forum.
in the German part, there are not so many topics as in the other, and we have the most Posting in Time.
Sure, there are some Spam Threads, and this is not bad. I like the way of joking in this kind.

But if i see a Topic where is full Off, why stay out of them?
I say only one thing.

If the elder Member like you miss something.
So it is better to ask what can you do to bring it back, and not to blame it of the other.
Or just leaving, leaving is the easyest thing.
Sure, it is not the nice thing we can do if we someone say "please stop spamming in this Thread" or if we must Lynn ask for deleting spam.
But, actually there are some rules in the Forum. And if you think there is something wrong, just change it.
But at last, is it not my task to hold the status quo in this forum.

And so i please you, stop the off Topic in this Thread.
This thread is for Illusions, not for talking about the Forum.
if you dont like the Illusion, thats Ok.
But there are some People here who enjoy it.
