In all seriousness, Patkin, nobody suggests that word game threads should be banned, or closed--only that they be placed in the social area, with other word and other games, where they belong. We all participate in social threads--they are very important, IMO.
But do you really believe that a person who posted 3000 words in a word game thread deserves the same title of a PV master as someone who provided 3000 technical and complex explanations in Ask the Veterans or any other e-cig related forum?
