Hey moderators!
Hey moderators, if you want to persist in the inane rule about no comments on posts on this top post thread, why not just disable replies here? Your rule has never had any effect, and most times, people have plenty of time to read the relevant and cogent replies before you get around to (vindictively, it seems) deleting them. Understand the technical capabilities of a blog moderator? Or is Blogger just not set up to accommodate your whim? Just as a thought, how do multiple requests for new threads differ from comments on a single request? Why not just automatically make each new top post immediately a new thread? No need to sort comments. Just wondering. Actually, wondering about the need for moderators at all, except for profanity,which I believe is fairly automatic these days.

Hey Einstein,
Disabling comments will stop anyone from posting a new topic. New posts are comments on the "new topics" post.
Also, your suggestion to make every comment in the new topics post a new top post will promote many meaningless topics. Imagine the mess.
Finally, the moderators are not under obligation to cleanup the new topics section like clockwork. This is volunteer work, remember?
If you want to improve this blog, you can volunteer. Otherwise, don't let the door...
Before going off half-cocked the OP should have done some research ( !! ).
This blog is a manual operation. Hence cloning a string of replies and keeping the time stamps used by posters to specify an individual post is not feasible. It's simple enough to wait until the suggestion is posted in the blog proper after all.
There are advantages to manual operations, it allows us to avoid a lot of the automatic buzz-kills that software filters invariably cause. On the down side, we have to put up with the individual who likes being a griefer. Fortunately most people are good folk and their contributions make up for the occasional PITA situation.
