I think there should be a record of all threads that are locked by mods and why they were locked.1st on the list, the "How long is your pussy?" thread, closed probably for continuous and pointless chatting about the Beegees.

Locked Threads
-
Exactly.
-
If you guys would stick to the topic, things might not get locked. It's your choice.
-
yeah, topic... that's a good one.I just watched "saw" on VOD. I was surprisingly pleased. VOD is a great service, just like a VCR but it's over your cable. I hate our cable provider, they have a monopoly in this area. Monopoly has to be the most boring game I've ever played, it just goes on and on and on and on and on. Trivial Pursuit takes a long time too but it seems so much more fun. The "question only game" thread went for a long time but it got gassed without warning. Too bad. It was very sunny here today.

I like chocolate.

woah.... don't change the topic there kiddo
-
well, you may or may not be older than me but 'kiddo' is a term of endearment in my family.Obviously, I was poking fun at the idea of going off topic by going off topic. You know me.

So why aren't all "old" threads locked? It seems to cause the old folks a lot of consternation when people post to "dead" threads.And whatever happened to the "Should F22Fighter stop posting his religious crap?" thread? It seems to have vanished into the ether.I like chocolate too.

In reply to: a lof of the issues in the old threads have been resolved. that's why I will often sugest that a new member should have a look around
-
I'm not going to sit around and lock threads. It's just a common courtesy that newbies just don't know about.
Looks like someone deleted the F22 thread.
-
ofcourse they don't get it. that's because they're noobs. It's our job to politely point them in the right way
-
While we never broached the topic of locked threads, I dated someone who playfully called me "kiddo". I thought it was a Japanese word for "fierce warrior". But she called her two kids "the kiddos". So it must say more about my mental age than my Ninja-ness.
-
don't sweat it kiddo

In reply to:I'm not going to sit around and lock threads.Computers can do that kind of thing all by themselves.In reply to:Looks like someone deleted the F22 thread.Just like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

In reply to: And whatever happened to the "Should F22Fighter stop posting his religious crap?" thread? It seems to have vanished into the ether. funny...I don't miss it.

Helps if we have that option within our admin settings though.
There is nothing worse for us to have to start locking threads. We have the community forum to keep general chit-chat in here.
If you wish to go "off topic" in a thread to explain something then fine, but please try to keep it in here.
I know we are all to blame at times, so there is no need to start pointing fingers.
As for us taking notes on why a thread is locked. That is only done if there is a certain problem on the board that all Mod's need to address.

I think the only time I had a minor issue with locking or editing was a when a thread went a mile off topic to the tune of maybe 1oo posts. It definately deserved a good gutting! Unfortunately, the actual responses to the original topic got gassed too.Not a critisizim, just an observation
