I've seen it happen to other people. (No instances from this site pop into my head.)

I don't think it really should happen, though.

Yeah. Like when someone makes a link to something and the topic is to discuss that specific link (again, this doesn't apply to my thread). Then someone posts putting down the thread maker's link and claiming that what they're linking people to is better/more funny, even though it isn't related to the thread maker's link. It happens the most in General Chat.

Buddy, GC is pretty much the spam forum. As long as the posts apply to the main topic at hand, there really shouldn't be a problem.

If it were such a big deal, we'd be hearing about it from other members with the same concern as yours.
