EPTNowadays, 99% of the threads are being created by people who either:
1. Are only observers and don't play at all.
2. Play at a ridiculously low level.
3. Are actually writing a blog about their impressions of recent games, split up into several dozen almost-uninterrupted posts, over the course of a month, and may have dissociative identity disorder.
Here are the threads I am referring to:

I recognize that I have the ability to report these threads, however, given their number and how long they are staying up, perhaps I missed some sort of inflection point in which stuff like this became normal, and it would have been futile anyway.
So, what is the moderators' take on this? Are you going to abandon the Strategy section to be a cess pool of F rank players' opinions? Or, are you going to move them to blogs, which is where I think most of these "theory" posts belong, or at least BW General?
ETA: Upon reviewing the guidelines in the section, I guess at least two of those threads somewhat follow the rules by putting "[I]" in the title, but even then they run into this:
(2)Applicability
Please make idea threads have some relevance to an actual game of Starcraft. No Queen rushes.

Gonna add a poll just for my own personal curiosity.
