Questionable Threads

Polyquats — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:38:48 CDT

If you think that one of the threads/ideas is being improperly stacked with votes, is profane, or is attacking another user, please move them here. Our moderators will hopefully sort this out.

NOTE: If you're wondering why vote-stacked threads are here, instead of votes simply being cleared, it's because Wetpaint's software doesn't allow for vote clearing. If your post has been moved here with a high number of votes, please feel free to resubmit it.
