you don't actually need a perfect system, you need the best you can get
we don't actually need the best...we may actually not need anything...but we should prefer one thats not inherently flawed and at this point I think we can search for the best and naturally say a system thats not flawed is better than one this is....

i completely understand why thread locking would be annoying to some.
that being said, thread locking is not censoring or deleting or anything of those things that people are suggesting it is. thread locking is what comp easily established on page one - the thread is done, now people are just beating a dead horse (usually in a negative way obviously). move on to the next topic.
no one said you can't start a very similar topic in another thread. now if comp starts locking similar threads on similar topics before they even really start, maybe then i'd listen to the censorship bullshit you are spewing.
and furthermore, online forums are not free speech forums. owners/mods on the site have the right to censor if they want to. you have the right to shut up and/or leave.
sounds witty, but it's really not funny cause the subtext is that our mod is unreasonable for locking threads
Not trying to be witty. Witty implies light hearted. Dark biting sarcastic satire is my aim. Why am I not conveying this clearly enough?? Oh yes more smilies, winkies and such. I just can't decide whether I like the biggies :wink2: or smalls better.
And yes Comp is unreasonable but I can live with it.

Not bad points here at all. Locking threads is fundamentally different than deleting them.
But I am going to need you to post much more cryptically and with much less punctuation to really take you seriously here.

I could not care less if the mods decide to "lock" a thread. If something from that thread peeks my interest, I will start a new one specifically about that topic. If the most pressing problem in your life at the moment is the issue of threads on this site being "locked" than you really need to get a life.

I thought I had issues . . . sheeesh.

depending on how this question is handled it could
would it suprise you then if i suggested any system based on belief would be inherently flawed?
you don't actually need a perfect system, you need the best you can get
Huh.... interesting.
Anyways, I made a poll thread - go vote there, this thread's about to go all Italian cruise liner.

were off topic mostly tho

so anarchy then?

we're basically discussing what kind of system you prefer. It's not very pragmatic to throw democracy out the window and just see what happens, is it?

unreasonable? why?
srsly?
sorry forgot these.
i english all day. can't do it at night too. i'd go mad.
But can you translate darbdaic or philliese?
Didn't we have a universal translator member on here at one point?
I honestly usually give up 2 posts in and default to tldr (darb) or trdr (philli).
I'm going to hell for this but......r = ?
so you don't find him unreasonable? you're being a bit confusing...or annoying. must you really poke people when you post
I know you can figure this out. Take 10 more seconds.
I thought I had issues . . . sheeesh.
You don't come to the wrong side of the tracks enough.
I've got a solid idea, I just want to see it. This thread could take off in ways yet unimagined.
I knew it.
