We can't actually police random numberslutting. How the hell would that work?
Although I also think it's weird and annoying when someone gets all excited about getting, say, 6044.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

There's no way to police it, of course. But we've dealt with other things that couldn't exactly be policed, either. And I'm just saying, it's not an important thing, but it's very annoying to me, and if it's very annoying to some other people, then a spell of excessive and nothing-else numberslutting could become one of the things that people are conscious of as being annoying to others. I said self-restraint.
(I'm tired and headachey. Am I sounding really snotty here? I'm going to go to bed soon.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It didn't work with the campaign against "wrod". I think these things are organic.

I swear I can think of other things it's been said to have worked for, and I'm only coming up, right now, with the points in Natter when someone asked that the fun-fun-profanity sessions be truncated or toned down. Or content stuff. But I swear I remember it.

Ah shit I'm just going to go to bed.

Hey, I'm still here! Just because you can't see me shudder every time I see it doesn't mean it's not happening!

Thrive to spite them
I don't pay attention to the post numbers at all so I see the words "number slutting" or some variation and just ignore it because it's not important and I don't look at the numbers and it doesn't bother me.
Okay, it is kind of annoying when someone takes up 4 or 5 posts to get to a number. But that doesn't happen very much anymore.
It's like the Pornies, when it first started everyone was doing it (well I didn't do it much because I forgot) but still, everyone did it. People whitefonted the porn repeated over and over for four or five lines. Eventually it got old and it died off.
I think the aggressive numberslutting is starting to die off. "Aggressive numberslutting" meaning taking up 4 or 5 posts of one word or puncuation trying to get a certian number. That I think should stop.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

6044 killed my brother.
What?
