I don't think flagging can remove a thread, but only a post. Anyway, why not just post your thread again and see what happens? If its nasty we will take care of it.

I recall that if the first post in a thread is flagged/removed, the whole thread disappears. That'd be an interesting test...

Someone tested that in the past, and it does.

I'd suggest a two-flag limit is a bit low, even if it is two older hands. I do recall the post. It was a link to a page of crazy about dice and dice patterns and how casino dice has different sides to make the 7 more or less likely, and there's only 3 ways to a roll a 7 and other search sperg. I gave up after 7 minutes... it was too rambling nuts for me (much like the time cube nutter).

Didn't seem like link-spam but that's just me. Other posters may have disagreed....

That was me, confirming that Jerry Logan's final diatribe could be deleted entirely by flagging the first post. Then the SOB just blogged it for posterity...

Wait. What? You flag the posts to delete a useless diatribe, but then go read his blog to get more of the same?
