We don't need that, since that's what offtopic is. The only difference from what you described is that your posts count.

Pretty sure this is just a sneaky way of asking for a /b/ section yet again.

Why the sadface? You've got the section you want, it's just not named spam.

It's basically the Offtopic subforum.

Probably not, but you will have a several dozen people think you're an absolute moron.

Why would you want to make a topic like that?

We really shouldn't have a spam section due to the fact that it would rape the database. If topics like that don't get deleted in Off-Topic, then we need Off-Topic to be pruned periodically (even only once a year).

I don't see why threads like this need to be allowed. It is not worth the harm to the database.
