Yeah, all those "I'm this/that" threads are silly. But they were all posted on Friday night, and in the Lounge. All those threads would've all, naturally, disappeared in no time at all.

You're too hard on people and it makes the place less fun.

Those were nonsense threads, with no real content. Our rules explicitly prohibit such threads.

Give Tooki a break. He's doing his job, and very well I might add. I dont always agree with what he does, but It's hard being a admin, esp when people like the OP have to gripe about such a stupid thing.

Feel free to suspect that a thread is too stupid to be kept around!

The latest version of the forum software has some nice batch-editing features that make it a lot less time-consuming to moderate lots of threads. Yay.

Except for Salty's thread they all were stupid and then Salty's thread degenerated into a ball of goo.

The only thing I wished was that he closed them sooner

Uh, any thread with "OMGBBQ" and "store is down!" level of stupidity deserves to die.

the thread was in the lounge and was not about the apple store, it was about a game consol upgrade. people are excited about this, why not allow this thread? true the title was OMGBBQ!! but so what? i say there was no harm in having made it, and tooki, even though i usually agree with your actions, this time around, not really see any reason to lock the thread on your part. any other reasons for this closure? if not, why not reopen up a harmless thread in the lounge?

The level of stupidity in the lounge has got to be reeled in. Threads with patently stupid titles are fair game for closure. If you want to actually discuss something, you should start a sensible thread with a sensible title.

question: since there is a no thread about others rule, and will get lockanated ie: the nick thread got closed, how come you havent closed this thread thats about you tooki? or is this a sensible thread in your eyes?

It's actually addressed to tooki, in the forum that's intended for addressing the admins. Seems appropriate to me.
