I propose that instead of just locking threads asking for invites to places like "pig noise" that they be deleted instead.

I just did a Google search for "<noise pig makes> invite" and the MacNN forums were the number 6 hit. Not something we want to be associated with.

If you don't want to delete the thread, then at least delete all instances of the site name and the word invite from each post and the title, so that we don't get picked up by the search engines as a potential source of invites.

A very good idea.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Or we could just collect the e-mail addresses of the people asking for invites, sell them to spammers and make mad $$.

People should only ask about invites through PM
