Many threads here begin with a useful message, followed by 150 meaningless posts like "thanks op!" or "+1 extra rep beyond the one I gave you because awesome" or "I completely agree [up][up]" etc.
Maybe that's fine on some threads, but on information threads, travel logs, or game guide threads where information on a particular topic or by a particular author is the goal, it really becomes annoying to have such a low signal to noise ratio on account of all the people who cannot hold back from the "reply" button.
There should be a way for authors to moderate their own threads to get rid of useless replies, or at least mark them as off-topic and allow other people to show/hide irrelevant posts with a filter. Some of the threads here grow into thousands of messages, and it gets kinda ridiculous.
In b4 "+1 I agree".
