Ehhhh. Although I'm pretty old on the site and have had plenty of "Thank you for buying my dragon! You'll keep them and give them a loving home forever, won't you? :) " directed at me, and of course it's tiring, I'm not going to fire all torpedoes at someone who just stumbled across a pretty dragon dressup site and doesn't know how much they don't know. Of course people should read policies and TOS, but the world's full of fine print we 'should' read but it's pretty clearly universally understood that we won't.
I like the idea of a bot or similar that checks pending posts (particularly in the suggestions forum, and maybe just for users who have been on the site for less than [X] time and/or made fewer than [X] number of forum posts) for oft-repeated suggestions. Many help/question forums have similar features. It wouldn't take much keyword recognition to weed out 'bond with all familiars', 'relist all auctions', or basically anything containing 'exalt' and/or 'unnamed', and that would catch most of the biggest offenders.
Until then, there's really no gain to anyone jumping on people like this. If nobody replies (or only one person replies by copy-pasting a boilerplate non-judgmental explanation that you can copy-paste onto every similar post) it sinks off the front page in a day or so. Why waste your time when all you're accomplishing is bumping the annoying thread back to the top? It's not like the staff is going to implement them just because you let them pass by without comment.
