Because whilst that'd be lovely, it's impractical.

On the contrary, if Stephanie, Jessica, Stacey.X, etc. could just stop being an attention-seeking mess for just a second there wouldn't be a problem.

I think these threads could be controlled more with a couple of nifty PM warnings and a nicely timed warning post to cool things down. Kinda like a sheepdog rounding up the sheep.

It's called moderating.
