I'm not saying that. That's a total overexaggeration. The basic rules that have always stood should remain:

No Pron, No Warez, No Overt Racism, Stuff like that. I mean, we've lived with those rules well enforced for so long we're used to it.

What we're not used to is having threads locked for one flame (or even threatened to be locked), locked for just stupid shit like "omg this thread is about nothing - LOKT."
Threads like that shouldn't be locked unless it is BLATANT spam. If there is readable text....Leave it. What's the point in locking it? It's just stupid and annoying when you come to post in a thread and find it's been locked.

This place is slowly dieing, the last thing we need is to have half of the already depleting thread numbers locked.

Before not all chats dealt with random juvenile bullshit. It was like everyone dropped a decade in age.

Alright, it's about time I stepped in here.

I haven't really noticed any problem with locking the threads that have been locked, but apparently a lot of you do.

Tripper's post was pretty much right on. Here're are the general guidelines that I'd like mods to follow regarding locking threads:

Lock it if:
- it's totally blatant garbage spam
- it's a double post/repeated topic
- it's a direct attack on a forum member
- it's a gravedug topic with nothing relevant added to it
- it's a topic that could've been sent via PM to a particular member
- it contains porn, graphic violence, racial crap
- the topic goes WAAAAAY off topic for a while and loses relevance
- the topic degrades into an endless flame war after a period of time


Silliness is part of this forum and threads shouldn't be locked right off the bat.

Does that help?
