Why can't they just post in the thread they're locking? How hard can that be?
When you're on your twentieth "CHEATIN SUX" thread of the night - the mouse gets heavier. I assure you, locking is not fun, people are getting craftier. Instead of posting a Halo 3 idea they post
"Do you think that >my random idea< is better than >Bungie's existing idea< ?"
Technically I can't lock it, even though it is almost the same as the flamethrower threads. Moderating is a pain in the arse in Optimatch, New Mombassa and the Halo 3 forum.
I am not complaining but sometimes you wonder if posting a reason will improve someones chances of posting like a human with a brain or will they just create a second or third thread?
Just last night I locked about 10 threads in the Halo 3 forum within an hour (I was getting sick of thread cloning) and posted a reason, link and explanation for each one. Two members proceeded to repost their ideas and a third posted how I was "the worset form cop ever".
I don't think reasons should be compulsory in the 3 big Halo forums. I don't mind anywhere else but there.... gah....
Okay okay...but those threads didn't need a reason. It was obvious.
Let's use one of my old threads for example. Ever since the "Say something nice and wonderful about a Bnet member" has been unpinned, newer versions of that thread came up. I, myself, made a repeat of it. Now..there was nothing wrong with the thread(except for maybe the title, but the mods could of edited it) and it was hit with the lock. No reason, just a lock. I didn't break the rules. Nope. So the reason could of been..."The old thread was canned for a reason" .....yeah, who cares?
Also, the same thing happened to a couple of the pictures threads. A mod just randomly decides to lock it...because......why? I don't know. No rules were being broken.
