What's going on!??!? Why on earth was this closed for!?!?!

Is there someone out there hacking the threads or something!?!?

[Provost Harrison]

Well try complaining through the 'official channels', that is, send him a PM and ask him why he did it. You will find he will be far more amenable if you are nice and don't whine about it...

[FrostyBoy]

well I don't actually care that it's locked, but the reason it got locked is mind blowing, why do these senseless things keep happening on apolyton? it's unbelievable!

[Provost Harrison]

Well I have had similar problems myself. You just need to handle the situation with kid gloves for anything to be done about it...

[MarkG]

too much spam....

[FrostyBoy]

!!? THAT'S THE REASON!?

coz of some other people I have no control over, I lose my thread!?!?

come on MarkG, that's not on, that is not fair at all, now if *I* was spamming, then you should lock it.

I could just go around and spam everyones threads

[MarkG]

i've "lost" plenty of threads myself due to spam snoopy.....

that's life

And then Mark would just ban you and not your thread.


Reread the thread, you made your point a few people responded and then it broke down into to nothingness. So the discussion was over but some people just like raising post counts so they spam. Get over it. The thread wasn't going anywhere except either a spamfest or off the radar screen. So it isn't a big deal one way or the other.

[KrazyHorse]

Good lord. That was too much spam? You've been on a spam-hunt lately, haven't you Markos? I think the "Finally!" thread going to 5 pages is what pushed him over the edge.

[spartak]

I'm with Krazy Horse. That thread wasn't very spammy and was back on topic by the end. Poor show.

[TCO]

I think it's kind of funny when people scream about a thread being locked. I's like their penis being chopped off or someting.

[The Mad Monk]

Looking at that last post, I'd have let it go.

Still, it's Marko's call.

In reference to that last post, it would be interesting to see the appropriate tile counts for all of the continents and significant islands on a 256x256 map.

edit: added digit.

[Father Beast]

Dang, looks like I was right after all. I posted a thread here called "so if I don't like a thread" asking this very question. Ming assured me that if the initial topic wasnot a joke, the thread was relatively immune from spam sharks putting it down.

Guess he was wrong.

WAAAAHHH!!
