If there are a high number of posts in a thread, it does not mean that the thread has large amount of spam posts. Offering +Rep encourages those who can help, to help; as often people won't take the time to do something unless they are offered a little incentive.

Rep is supposed to be for helping someone out with something. So there shouldn't be a rule in my eyes. And calm down Carlos, you overeacting a bit.
i'm out of touch, i'm out of love
i'll pick you up when you're getting down
and out of all these things i've done
i think i love you better now
May I also add that a lot of threads offering +Rep are for things like referral links and are therefore found in spam anyway. Other threads offering +Rep, like a thread I created a while ago (here), are in a Forum applicable to the subject they are asking about and you will see the posts are genuine attempts to help the individual who created the thread.
I encourage you to report any pointless posts in a thread that are obviously aimed at gaining +Rep and make no attempt to help the user. I really don't see the problem with the threads though, to be honest.

Which results in a thread congested with replys becoming anything but helpful.
Fair enough, I can see this thread will be going nowhere. Was worth a discussion though, apart from the kids who reply with an immature attitude.
Please lock this thread, thank you.
Of course the idea may still be open to discussion, that's just my opinion and I respect yours because I understand we both have different views on these type of threads .
I am afraid I cannot close the thread on request, as I've said it can still be discussed and the ability to close your own threads is a VIP Feature and therefore closing threads for anyone will be unfair the members who pay for this feature.
