At the moment the two most recent threads are spam, 5 and 10 hours old, by different posters.
There are dozens of people here I would trust with the authority to delete threads, under a "one strike" rule: If any deletion is even remotely a judgment call, as determined by our actual admins, that authority is permanently revoked.
None of these spam threads would last 30 minutes, under such a system.
I'm going to take a break from posting until we sort this out.
