I read the title and try to guess why it was probably locked, and then see if my prediction was correct

The first thing I read actually, even before I was staff.
Threads closed by psyren were always especially amusing.
THIS
Psyren responses were pure gold.

+1 here too.
your "usual" locked thread starts with these words
"How do I torrent?

Scudworth · « **Reply #22 on:** October 12, 2011, 03:29:45 PM »

Even the "How do I torrent? threads have potential for someone freaking out though. But it's true that they usually lack luster now.
Which is why we need an alert to the thread and a grace period for trolling the threads before they get locked.

Best mod for locking threads, Psyren. I bet he wouldn't get on with his day without locking at least one thread.

IIRC, he was told to tone down and be more "pleasant". He refused, got in an argument with staff, was stripped of his mod powers, so he left the forums.

True. Unless you were there before just to check how big of an idiot the stupid heads were being in the thread.

I come back after a week or two to check stuff in "The lounge".

Guess which thread caught my attention?

Sorry, I have no idea. But I'm guessing it's probably a B-Movie like Robo-Geisha or something.

...noticed this too. And I'm half responsible for it, i know.

and now, to PM the ones who just had to continue the discussion i tried to end twice....

@OP

1st and 3rd option don't seem too different to me. but voted 3rd as i don't ignore threads save for the ones i've grown tired of and the ones in Politics, Games, most of Technology, and Competition boards.

I have no regrets actually. they had it coming. I was simply stating what i thought about the situation and they just had to go on saying "OMG Y U THINK DIFFERENT?!". even after i said I'm dropping the subject as it has become pointless.

Actually I know the actor that is in the front ... he plays the lead in a long running Samurai Series called Abarenbo Shogun ... He also sings as well ... but not sure on what the video is about.

Also the AV/Sig Thread is temporarily closed for a week.

EDIT: here is the song & video for that segment ... enjoy ...

I did quote Arc once and try to stop you two. You totally ignored that and posted a wall of text soon after. Wonder who tried to continue and who tried to end the discussion...

Quote from: Kyrdua

You yourself were pretty much asking "OMG Y U THINK DIFFERENT?!"... Or alternatively, others were just "stating what they thought about the situation". Both parties have their faults.

Ava/Sig is just closed for the week, Arc.

Who wants to continue? Put up your hands so I can take notes... I have three at the moment.

Arc-sama · « **Reply #35 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:27:13 PM »

I know Newy ... Though if they keep this up, I'm predicting that someone may extend it??

After searching / watching that PV ... I really want to go find the Kamen Rider movie ...

* Arc likes LA shows & Feudal Period shows from Japan *

... and to be on-topic ... I read thru some locked thread to see what was the stupid thing that was done to warrant it being locked in the first place. Though not all of them since there are some forums I don't check regularly.

Tatsujin · « **Reply #36 on:** October 14, 2011, 04:21:41 AM »

my favorite thread got closed ... -pissed off at the moment- if you got beef with someone take it to PMs for fuck sakes.

Wat the shit acid trip.

Sometimes in those locked threads, it's easy to notice certain individuals trying on purpose to get the thread locked. Like they decided to derail the thread, then crash it into a bin of unicorns and double rainbows.

2, 4, 6, 8, what the fuck did you create?
Locked thread, locked thread!

1st and 3rd options are different because for someone like me, I ignore most of the threads here. I only look at a few threads, but the locked ones catch my eye.
The 3rd option is more for the type that reads everything, making the poll irreverent to them. But I didn't want to trap people into a strait yes or no option.
I guess I could have had the third option to be "I like Pie". And although I did strongly consider it, I didn't want to be answering questions about why someones penchant for pie is even in the poll.

N2O · « **Reply #39 on:** March 31, 2012, 09:28:43 AM »

Voted 1st. IMO, most threads I found locked are due to flame wars...
