Obviously, it's not likely to get the offending party to stop what they're doing, but if enough people are complaining then it may encourage the moderators to raise standards or increase enforcement.

I don't know, it seems painfully obvious to me that the way to fuck over an attention whore is by NOT PAYING ATTENTION to them.

Also, it's not always garbage threads that attract ironic comments like these. Often the person posting the negative comments* seems like someone who disagrees, but who lacks the ability to adequately debate the subject.

*the whiny "this thread sucks" comments
