I figured that temp locking threads would be simpler than me spamming the report button for all the 22,060 posts in the WAYLT

Well I'll speak to Matt about it but I don't think he will agree with them being temped locked. You don't have to report every post from 1 person, just a post from them and we will look at there activity in that thread.

Posting competitions piss me off. No ones posting because they want to, a lot of people are posting for the sake of posting and when this competition is over everything will go back to normal and activity will be reduced again.

Oh & yeah, report posts cause its easier for us than reading every single post on the forum.

that's what i said
no-one will be posting soon cause soon everything will be 'pointless' posting. that's more off putting than this stupid competition.
'for the sake of posting' THAT'S WHAT A FORUM IS FOR. NOT A COMPETITION BUT TO POST, WHETHER IT HAS A POINT OR NOT.

well that's rubbish because not ALL posts in that thread are pointless, but we do this argument over + over. you may not be interested in what people are listening to, but i am sometimes ha.

right question i see listening has been closed, will this be re-opened at the end of the thing because there are people who use that thread responsibly who support this forum by posting whether there's a competition or not, i like that thread.

People are posting for the sake of competition, not because they actually want to.

Also the what are you listening to thread has been closed until the end of the competition.
