Dunnee Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 I'm sure this will be locked, but Madmatt, could you maybe slow down on the quick draw padlocking? I always miss the good threads man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Most of the off-topic threads about WW2 films or modern weapons etc., get moved to the General Discussion Forum. Flame fests or Threads-About-The-Peng-Thread just get locked. If anything it would be better if stupid threads were locked quicker (in an ideal world).

Panzer Leader Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 M. Bates: Why? And what would happen to this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 God almighty!! MadMatt, my sincerest sympathies. There seem to be a hell of a lot of people who don't understand the reason for padlocking, or the concept of "forum clutter", and take the closure of one completely stupid thread as a prompt to start ten more. Will it ever end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnee Posted May 11, 2001 Author Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hey pal, I mean you David, you got a sense of humor? or is mine just too advanced for you? One word: SATIRE [ 05-11-2001: Message edited by: Dunnee ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Yes yes, and Panzer Leader posted his anti-Peng rant in the name of Irony. But BTS still has to waste their time rooting out all the OT threads from the forum, time which they could be spending on CM2. Get a clue, for heaven's sake.

Dunnee Posted May 11, 2001 Author Share Posted May 11, 2001 This isn't an anti-peng thread....don't flatter yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 David, no chance. They have one argument you can not beat: "Madmatt likes our humor". So we have to live with these nonsense threads (right now I count 3 or 4 PENG threads...) Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Excuse me? Did I say it was? The emphasis was on the excuse. You say satire, he says irony. It doesn't matter what your excuse is, you are posting OT threads in the full knowledge BTS will have to root them out and lock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Mr Aitken, I thas become abundantly clear to me that all you are saying is in earnestness, and not in the tongue-in-cheek manner in which I strove to keep it. So I suppose I will need to reply to you in earnestness: Isn't that Mad Matt's job? If you (and people like you) hadn't responded, wouldn't the thread have sunk (or slunk) into infamy all by itsself? What is the real problem? Cluttered? To make room for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because the "ignore them and they'll go away" tactic I have been exercising for a long time appears to be worthless. > Isn't that Mad Matt's job?

Zaffod Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hey!! I got an idea, guys!!!! Why not skip ahead to the next topic if the thread doesn't fit your humor?! THAT WAY, if anyone wishes to read/post on goofy threads (even peng threads).. they are free to do so.. thats it! sounds simple, huh? Zaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
