I want to use a gardening analogy for this proposal..

Spraying toxic weedkiller everywhere to eradicate troublesome weeds which actually
kills all the other beneficial plants which largely go unnoticed - but yay we killed all
the nasties

There was discussions a while back that the forum was in decline, I fear with
this approach there will eventually only be 20 or so members with 10,000 merit
rattling around on an otherwise empty forum.
