Unfortunately, in a community that can get quite large, it seems the best way to go is to lock threads (at least temporarily).

The mods and admins just shouldn't have to go cleaning up the user's messes all the time.

Be more responsible, and then no threads would be locked. That's the best solution, imho.

@Data, I agree with you, I would have PMed Yobor and Troop had I been there when they were spamming. Please reopen the jokes thread, there's nothing else like it on the forum and another thread just wouldn't be the same.

Wise words.
I agree to them.

Me too, but unfortunately it's a bit difficult to get everyone to do so! (to be fair, I can be a bit of a spammer myself at times; not so much on here though but on slightly more informal places with less moderation )

Just a few people shouldn't result in the rest of us being punished. It's a form of punishment I disagree with, like at school when one kid steals the teacher's glasses and he makes the whole class stay behind.

I'll consider it, but it will not be soon.
It's uncommon to undo decissions by other admins.
(I agree to the closing of the thread by picard.) So it will only be because the "users" want it.

PLEASE reopen the joke thread. I will delete ALL of my posts there and will impose a self-ban from the thread.



Ooops posted at exactly the same time.

I don't want the joke thread reopen. It's spammed, keep it closed.

Open a new thread if the need arise. That's what I think.

No a new jokes thread just wouldn't be as good.
