How do we represent a spammer who quotes people and attacks them viciously?
Those are usually called flamers (Pyro Spammers? ). We can try and use this to create some kind of a fire feel about them. Another interesting things about flamers is that if you're not careful they will start a flame war and drag normal posters into it. Maybe we could give them some ability that affects creatures it attacks... maybe some sort of berserk ability... no idea what it could actually do though.

Okay, I know I spoke against random card ideas earlier in the thread, but this idea just sprang up in my head and I liked it:
Flame War R
Instant
Flame War deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
Discard a card: Copy Flame War. Gain control of all spells named Flame War. You may choose new targets for them. Any player may play this ability.

Amazing.

Spamfest C (as this permanent comes into play, put a token into play that's a copy of it for each time you pay its Spamfest cost.)
Quote:
When this creature is put into a graveyard, if it was dealt damage by a creature, you may search your library for a spammer creature card with an equal or lesser converted mana cost and put into play. If you do, shuffle your library.
How about the Moderators. We've been looking at the little intricate details, but what about the big Legendary's? How about Lord of Spam? Or Hero of the Glades? Things that are incarnates of the forums, but have legendary prowess. What about flavor? Some nice mundane cards that represent the entire community.

Don't die upon us.
Card concept
ICTC//2g
Sorcery
Each player may search their library for a land card and put it into play tapped. Each player then shuffles their library.
Put a QP counter on target creature.

Well, I have no clue what color does what, for the most part, so here's just me throwing out some more ideas for cards. 
Heroes Commune
Instant
Remove all QP counters from all permanents in play.
Bard's Glade (Blue?)
Enchantment - Thread
Bard's Glade enters play with 3 QP counters.
Each time a player draws a card, add a QP counter to Bard's Glade.
Tap/Remove 10 QP counters: Choose a sorcery, instant, or enchantment card from your graveyard and add it to your hand.
I dunno, stuff like that perhaps?

>This is definitely either white or black maybe even blueish possibly green... seems white primarily and hmility and humble suggest that.
Bard's Glade
Enchantment - Thread
Bard's Glade enters play with 3 QP counters.
Each time a player draws a card, add a QP counter to Bard's Glade.
Tap/Remove 10 QP counters: Choose a sorcery, instant, or enchantment card from your graveyard and add it to your hand.
green definately and this thing is quite good in large games.... perhaps. Remoxe X counters return target card with converted mana cost x to your hand?

I'm not too happy with Threads. Maybe they should be Auras (enchant permanent); this would work because participation in a thread is usually optional. When it is mandatory then it will only apply to one person, such as the creator or a person being talked about. If Threads affect every creature that's a slight exaggeration of their importance.
Spammers are easy. There are plenty of ways to work spammers into the flavor. Here are some nonred examples.
Zealous Fanboy 1W
Creature - Human Spammer Soldier
Vigilance
Spamfest 1W
1/3
Heedless Fanboy 1WW
Creature - Human Spammer Cleric
Prevent all damage that would be dealt to CARDNAME by Non-spammer sources.
"You're just making stuff up."
2/2
Owl of Questioning 1U
Creature - Bird Spammer
Flying
Spells cost 1 more to play.
O RLY??/
1/1
Owl of Insistence 1U
Creature - Bird Spammer
Flying
Spells cost 1 less to play.
YA RLY!!1
1/1
Perverter of Threads 3BB
Creature - Demon Spammer
CARDNAME is unblockable as long as the defending player controls a thread.
3/3
Defiler of Threads 2BB
Creature - Zombie Spammer
Whenever CARDNAME attacks, defending player loses 1 life for each thread he or she controls.
2/3
LOLCat Explorer 1G
Creature - Cat Scout Spammer
Sacrifice CARDNAME: search your library for a Spammer card, shuffle your library and put that card on top.
Ima getting in your computer, stealing your Internets.
2/1
Microcephalidiot 2G
Creature - Troll Spammer
CARDNAME doesn't untap during your untap step.
Discard a card: untap CARDNAME.
Secondary Account
"huh?"
4/3
Now about those QP counters? What kinds of creatures care about QP counters? Should any spammers care? Should any non-spammers care? Should only spammers not care? If we have cards that create an abundance of QP counters... but no cards that care about them, then it'll feel kind of deflated.

Well, I've been thinking about the remark on the optionality of participation in threads, and this is what I've got:
The threads stay as global enchantments, but they don't have static abilities. Instead, either activated abilities that target creatures (reflecting how a person's participation may be on/off or none at all), or triggered abilities of the "may" sort, keying off playing spells (reflecting how a thread's activity is tied to people posting).
Opinions?

Activated abilities sounds interesting. It can reflects not only the optional aspect of threads but also the maintenance point brought up earlier i.e. you need to "invest" in a thread in order for it to be useful.
Example:
Feedback Thread 2
Global Enchantment
3+tap: add a QP counter to target non-moderator creature.

Maybe we can tie the "threads die" and "thread activated abilities" together. Perhaps using a thread requires increasing its rate of death? Or maybe that should prolong it, which is less balanced but more realistic.
|Ordinary Thread (A) NC
|Enchantment - Thread
|Vanishing X
|NC, Remove a time counter from Ordinary Thread (A): do something ordinary.
|Ordinary Thread (B) NC
|Enchantment - Thread
|Vanishing X
|NC: do something ordinary.
|If you do, put a time counter on Ordinary Thread (B).
NC stands for number color; example 2R
My original idea was that threads had sacrifice abilities. It performs the same basic function and costs less design space, but has fewer uses.
|Ordinary Thread (C) NC
|Enchantment - Thread
|Sacrifice Ordinary Thread (C): do something ordinary.
Unless you give threads a resurrection tool...
|Ordinary thread (D) NC
|Enchantment - Thread
|Sacrifice Ordinary Thread (D): do something ordinary.
|Whenever you do something ordinary, you may pay NC.
|If you do, return Ordinary Thread (D) from your graveyard to your hand.
This seems a bit strong, though. Plus, they tend to compete with each other for space if you do this.
That's enough thinking for now.

So, is this thing decidedly dead or are we going to continue for a bit?
If this isn't entirely dead yet, then I think the above suggestions would be a lot easier to think about if we had a specific example to work with, instead of "something ordinary".
