I would just like to remind everyone that this is an internet forum. There are many just like this one...

If you're not happy, leave.

you wouldn't notice if a bus drove up your arse until the driver tooted the horn.

I agree mods should use the delete function to delete any offtopic posts. Not just lock a whole thread. I am happy with the mods we have, I believe they are the members of the forum that deserve it the most. But maybe they are getting abit too 'harsh'!

im agreeing with tgb. Admitting I was immature in some thread I was sure would be locked, the mods have been going a little gun crazy. And call me crazy aswell but Ive only noticed this happening since the new mods became mods. Wether or not it is them I dont know as whoever is doign it doesnt have the cajones to tag their name on the lock(which I think should be a rule). This is off topic, it will get offtopic like it has since the day I signed on and a year before that. It a fact of the forum so the crazy guys need to calm down a little and let things happen within the rules.

Just going to throw in my 2 cents...

In regards to deleting posts to save a thread - this is done constantly. I know for a fact that Gerv and Tony have done this as well. Thing is, when we start deleting posts to save a thread, people start bitching about that (Unknown_Sniper).

As far as locked threads.. too many threads were getting by simply because no one had the time to sift through all the crap. That is why there are more mods. And with more mods less crap is falling through the cracks, hence more locks.

CoMATOSE FOR MOD!

Are you people fucking serious? It's an offtopic forum. Who gives a shit if something is a total spamfest? Just don't go in it. Let it go until people are eventually just posting in it to get a beefier post count (i.e. What are you listening to thread.)

[quote="TGB!":2f7d5]No offense - but no. . .if you dont have time/desire to clean up a thread - email another mod and let them take care of it. . .

Nothing pissed me off more than a thread of mine getting the gut from that Wook-SOB because some douche crapped on it. . .

Splitting the thread, and then deleting the new thread - bam, problem solved.

Im seeing threads locked simply because mods dont want to "deal with it" - nevermind the thread is STILL there and further contributes to the rancor on the forum. If the thread is so offensive, then delete it all. . .threads should be "locked" only if there is useful information but the topic has exhausted its use and is running in circles.

And maybe its me - but I missed the "epidemic" that was occuring that prevented OT from "being all it could be" - [/quote:2f7d5]

1) Who said anything about not having the time/desire to deal with a thread?

2) Obviously, a pain in the ass. We have plenty of people who still do that today.

3) You're a mod, I'm sure you know that you can't split threads on these forums. The only thing you can do is delete posts to try and save a thread. The problem is that people keep posting the same shit over in a thread and screaming out "VIVE LA REVOLUTION" or "omfgnazihitlerz on teh forumz" when you delete their post of " oOo: " or some other meaningless, thread derailing spam.

4) I don't recall anyone locking threads because they "didn't want to deal with it," however I've locked threads and seen threads locked when people failed to stop posting the same crap we were deleting from the thread in the first place.

5) You should know that it is GF1 policy - and has been way back into the aa.com days - to avoid deleting threads at all costs. This is straight from the mouth of BadScript and until he or Zoner say otherwise, it is the policy all the moderators should be following. BadScript has - on several occasions - made very clear what he wishes to allow to take place and what he does not wish to allow to take place. Now, with his absence, perhaps Zoner has the authority or willingness to change this. But you'll have to ask him.
