We should also penalize people who spam the forum with useless threads, but alas.
On another note, let's talk about something else. I suggest discussing Honey Bees

That's not mutually exclusive with closing threads though. Oftentimes both happen. If a thread is so off track its no longer salvageable, infracting the person(s) who started the derail isn't going to magically fix it.
