The pointless locking of threads

[Minstrels]

Does anyone know what's actually happening because the general community is being kept in the dark about this...

Nothing new their then.

I'm sorry but this is getting ridiculous.
Can they just be re opened for god sake. You stupid people.
They weren't bloody spam. Jesus.
If you took a bloody look in the Post Your Setup thread you'd see what I mean.
Unless, of course, you can't see it because some ******ed admin deleted it altogether.

In the gaming section, Post Your Setup caused a lot of arguments between a majority of users.

I can't speak for that case admittedly but the Post Your Setup in the Technology Discussion section (post pics/spec of your PC etc) that was rarely, if ever, the case.
Which explains my outrage. :rolleyes:

They say we were posting pointlessly in the "Post your Setup" thread, by discussing our setups..?

But yet they can post "Poison - Alice Cooper" and that is considered a constructive post..

I can see why most were closed, but I can't see why 'what was the last movie you watched' was closed if 'what are you listening to' remains!

I agree with whoever said they're dealing with this situation the same way a school does, by punishing everyone when only a select few ruined it. None of them should of been closed without due care and consideration. Nearly all of the threads had a point to them, only a few actually were used for spamming reasons. They've wasted time and effort with closing all of them, especially when they're deciding whether or not to open them again. What a waste of time :/

It would appear no thought went into this when the pros clearly outweigh the cons.

Cons =
Pointless posting

Pros =
Gives people ideas to download, buy, re-create, watch, listen to and so on, whatever the nature of the subject is.
Creates interesting, meaningful discussions with a point.
Opens up a gateway to seeing what a member's environment, personality, likes and dislikes are.
Creates a care free environment.

Does no-one else see the problems here?

That was becuase some idiot was posting about his setup with no actual pictures, and then decided to **** off pretty much most of the members of this forum by insulting "the brits"

Point is, you must know by now people have had enough of your stupid decisions on here, your only making the forum in a worst state than it already is. You lot will finally see the errors in your ways when the decent members of this forum that make it the community it is stop taking all this crap from you and just leave, then all you have left are new members who are about 10 and spell stuff like "omgz, i is goiiin here"

That will bring the community together nicely wont it
