We have consistantly closed/deleted... should I stay/leave threads. They are pure spam, or flame threads waiting to happen... So NO, we aren't treating you special... JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
If you want to leave... leave...
If you want to stay... stay...
We don't need a massive ego display on your partKeep on Civin'

The coffee shop and word association type threads are controled spam... It is our hope (yeah, right, and pigs fly) that people will concentrate their possible spam posts in threads like those, and not do it other threads...
Keep on Civin'

It all boils down to your definition of spam, doesn't it? How is starting a discussion essentially asking advice on how to spend some extra free time now and then wrong (and that discussion involves developed sentences, paragraphs, etc), but a quick response-type 500 post thread ok?The coffee shop and word association type threads are controled spam... It is our hope (yeah, right, and pigs fly) that people will concentrate their possible spam posts in threads like those, and not do it other threads...
In other words, if I asked in the OT, should I go to a football game or to the store right now, would that thread be locked too? You make no sense.

Maybe... if you are a KNOWN spammer... probably. Or, if you had just started two or more threads... probably... Hard to say, since "intent" is an important element to consider.In other words, if I asked in the OT, should I go to a football game or to the store right now, would that thread be locked too?
But that is far different than a should I stay/leave thread. Usually, they turn into flame wars as people tell you quite bluntly why you shouldn't let the door hit you in *** on the way out.
And since it was you... the potential was VERY HIGH

You now lock threads based totally on blind potential? This keeps getting better and better.But that is far different than a should I stay/leave thread. Usually, they turn into flame wars as people tell you quite bluntly why you shouldn't let the door hit you in *** on the way out.

I've gone on record saying that exact thing... It's like when somebody screams "fire" in a theater... You know what's going to happen...
So... If you want to continue whining... feel free. It isn't going to do you any good. And if you start a similar thread... you really won't have to ask the question, because you won't be able to post for a month anyway...
Have a good evening...Keep on Civin'

Bull****, it's the same thing as someone standing up in a theater and then getting shot by a cop because he might've yelled.I've gone on record saying that exact thing... It's like when somebody screams "fire" in a theater... You know what's going to happen...
