Last I heard, the UT was not a democracy. Anything and everything within Michel's rulesset is OK. Frankly, I think your "Kill Thread" idea is stupid and short-sighted and wouldn't even work on technical merits.

I forget who posted the comment, "if you don't like it, don't read it" but I'd have to agree with that.

I would, however, suggest that we have a new category similar to the DevX Off Ramp newsgroup to contain wild-ass rumors, kvetching, et al.

Before midnight, a process would fire which would determine if the majority of users (who responded) voted to have the thread killed. If so, the thread is dead - killed forever.
