I may be a newbie to these things?

What is "damage control" supposed to mean and why is it offensive/banned etc
What is "/thread" supposed to do or whatever?

Thanks again.. just I am not too familiar with this site and all...

Yes.  The problem does not lie within the words 'Damage Control' but within the contentless post aspect.

I think it's considered the same as replying to a post with simply 'lol' or ':lol:' or ':|' or even 'QFT' or some such.

"Damage Control" is a strategy used to mitigate / lessen the impact of negative information upon the affected party.

"/thread" refers to a scripting prompt which ends a string of code.  Sometimes, it's also a command that ends a game session or other action in video games using a keyboard interface--i.e. "/logout", etc.  In short, it implies that the user has made his point and is now "leaving the thread".

Why this all of a sudden? You cannot improve the quality of a board which only receives news every other month, and major changes every 5 years. Sweep away too many leaves, and you'll find that You don't HAVE a front yard anymore

I've never noticed it. Besides which, if they can't read the rules, they shouldn't get constant reminders.
