It is my suggestion that the members of this site actually contribute something to read. There are too many people with post histories that look like this.

http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=46321

If your post history consists of mainly

>o<
he is
51324
>o<

Then you aren't contributing anything to the site. You're just filling it with crap so there is even more of a wade through to read an opinion or indulge in a chat. Everyone else is having to read past your posts in order to enjoy the site.

If you haven't had anything to say for 20 posts or more, please consider just lurking.

I don't wade through such posts, I simply don't read the nonsense threads that contain them. The solution to your inefficient browsing habits is to improve your browsing habits, not to force others to make things more convenient for you.

The solution to my browsing habits is going to be to add these kinds of people to my ignore list. Its not worth reading 99 of these thread bumps for the one occasion they might try to create a sentence. Of course you can imagine this might be a little awkward for the mods if they all end up on ignore lists for posting like imbeciles as they won't be able to warn or bring threads back on topic.

Simply disregard those posts. They're not of concern to you.

ITT: Thork Ævan is complaining about the lack of serious content in CN.  Next thing you know, he'll be complaining about all of the hostility in AR.

Don't worry Adolf. He may have 13,000 posts but he's still a noob. We'll take him down in one of the other threads.

Some users have a pathological need to spam web forums. Rather than ban these users, we gave them a place to fulfil their carnal needs.

The addition of "that" in that sentence is actually unnecessary. Maybe you're Thork after all.

"That" is very much optional in this context.

That seems kind of xenophobic. What if I said "If only you'd go back to your own country."  :-*  ?

I'm not sure the little kissy face makes it any less socially abhorrent. How dare you come to Britain, use up a place in our universities that a British child could have had if you hadn't priced them out of the market, and then start ridiculing the land's natives because you've learned some English whilst you have been here vampiring our education system. British people would be better educated if all our university places didn't carry a £9,000 premium because of artificial foreign demand.

You're the bad guy here. Remember that when you are biting the hand that feeds. >o<

... I'm going to deftly lock this thread before I split any more infinitives.  The lower forums, Compete Nonsense and Angry Ranting especially, are a haven for low-content posting.  I don't see this changing anytime soon, but thank you Ævan for your suggestion.
