You may notice that two of the participants in that thread are me, an independent moderator and dRD the owner of this website.
Incorrectly posted and ignorant threads aside, there are problems like this which are almost impossible to regulate. A lot of our time is spent trying to answer questions (which have been asked before!) and editing email addresses, crack links etc! We don't want to end up like the producers of that sanitizer software, where everything here is clean, perfect and censored.
But yes, this is a problem especially with so much dorkage out there. Even as a non mod, you could try and redirect the threads back on topic, I used to.

PS : These opinions are not necessarily those of the owners/management and they (almost certainly) should distance themselves from my assertions :-) blahblahblah
PPS : Sometimes it can be amusing, although irrelevant and a little fun is not always a bad thing ;-)
After reading my post, I re-read the first post and thought, what a good idea if responsibly minded users could post to this thread if they felt someone was really spoiling fun for others or endorsing piracy, linking to cracks etc. Mind you, it could be a problem if there are vendettas out there amongst some of you (you know who you are) but lets try it. I have made this thread 'sticky' so it should show up at the top of the forum, in which it has been (correctly) posted! I will inform the other mods, who can view it and take action if they want. A kind of 'informers' thread, if you like!
If it is used improperly by users, you can be sure it will be closed and hidden Pretty Damn Quick!
I'm back...
...can't you smell the fear?
