I think they are really stupid threads, but I can't see a reason to ban them.
And we'd be at risk of banning YC and CleanCut who genuinely want help.
I do like to poke fun at stupid "look at me" threads though. Some call it "bullying". But I can't see that it's bullying when people seek the attention to start with. I've never had much time for attention seekers.
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
