Idiotic first posts

[Gumby]

Here's some food for thought.

It occurred to me today that over the years we've seen some absolutely brain numbing first posts. I'm talking about somebody who logs in, registers and puts up some ridiculous post about something way off the beam.

I'm NOT talking about those asking woodworking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. Those are where most of us began.

But the spam, stupid, hard to believe or even impossible to understand keep popping up every now and again.

Perhaps we should start filing them away and make it like a Xmas bloopers thread where they all get put and give us a bit of a laugh.

Just a thought.

Unfortunately it's all more work for the mods, but guess we are good at reporting it.

Only good spam, is the Monty Python type of Spam, Spam, Spam, etc Lovely Spam?

Do you think you could give us some kind of subtle clue where we might be able to find some of those posts Gumby?
