Title: Uhh, why lock?
Post by: Shadowgandor on November 02, 2007, 06:39:00 pm: Why was the 'what a noob really means according to.......' locked?
I know i shouldn't ask and that this topic is going to get locked as well but there wasn't anything offensive there or anything. Seeing how this is the off topic topic, locks shouldn't be given out like that, except when it disturbs the forum that is (think of 10k pictures, porn or lots of cursing)

I did that. But this forum has such a large amount of headstrong members who don't seem to understand the rules that I and the rest stopped bothering.
If you want witnesses ask kobrakaine. He's had his discussions with me over some decisions.
Fact is these days totally stupid topics get instant lock. Derailed threads usually either get a warning to get on track or a cleanup without mention. Any attempt by the mods to directly warn members of the obvious simply results in them doing exactly that which is against the rules.

Post by: Survivor on November 03, 2007, 10:42:32 am: People who ask will get an answer. But I'm not going to bother anymore with the horde of idiots who will do it again anyway even if they know that what they did was wrong.

Post by: Paradox on November 04, 2007, 07:05:37 pm: I locked it because it was yet another topic about nothing, that is, a topic that started out with good intent, then the spamnoobs here made it into yet another lamer fest.

Post by: Shadowgandor on November 04, 2007, 07:43:16 pm: Ah well, you'll find them on almost every forum, though i have to say that the rules here are quite loosely compared to www.planetspore.co.uk
I got banned for saying fuck >:(
Atleast topics don't derail on that forum lol
