    How is a "should I leave" thread fun?
    Wigalf- were you looking to be flamed?
    In the history of apolyton, everyone who has started a thread like that has gotten flamed and insulted.

        You ask the wrong question Darkcloud. The right question is, "where was the harm in it?"
        Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

        Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

          Well... the first time somebody posted an insult and told him to leave as fast as he can... Wiggy would have whined like he usually does... By closing the thread, we skipped right to his whine. Far more efficient

            Wiggy,

            The Coffeeshop and word association threads are left alone due to historical reasons, other pure spam threads aren't so lucky.

            In the good old days of the OTF there used to be a lot more spam threads, such as the steel mill and PROT, but eventually they were all closed.

              No, not really. I wanted the damn vote.

              Some of you are so conditioned to ever tighter moderation its pitiful.
              Exactly.

              How is a "should I leave" thread fun?
              If the mods continue to be a bunch of tight asses like this, and lock every non "What Should I Do With My Hair" thread, the forum will die rather quickly. It's that simple. Knocking off posts counts was a serious blow, and now this crappy trigger-happy way of OT moderation will be the capper. The thread fit the forum perfectly, there was no reason to touch it.

                People were saying the same thing years ago... and they were wrong then too

                And again, your opinion doesn't really matter...

                  Posts counts weren't abolished years ago. Now they are. And you've only stepped up your ridiculous manner of "moderation" since then.

                  When I registered in December 2000, the place was much more interesting. Had a lot more traffic too. You're killing it.

                        Hmm, 99.9% of threads on the OT are not "Should I set fire to my hair?", "Whats a good rhythm for breathing?" crap, they're mostly thought-provoking crap (the specific thought they provoke, if mentioned, would probably get me banned). Its been that way for quite some time, and will continue to be that way.

                            Because traffic in the OTF is higher now then ever before...

                            But I can understand how you can be confused... you usually are.

                              True - but I like my roasts turned on the spit a few times before they are served

                                You've got to be kidding. They don't even fill one and a half pages a day anymore, and that's tops.
