To see what happens, am considering locking all in threads in the General Discussion ,for a week if any of the following apear.
1. Any flame of some ones post, not a counter discusion, but a flame. Also flame baits.
2. Any personal attacks.
3. A whine, not a suggest ,critisim or view, but the over the top stuff.
What do you guys think is it worth a try to see if it changes the general flavor?

yes there is. wonder how long it will take for some to get the point?

Anyone else Starting to get a "Clue" of were this is going ??

My word, these are being locked faster than I can respond....let's see if I can put my thoughts into this one before it goes to the wayside.
I see what you're doing Hitech, I hope others see it and I think it all boils down to the perps need to start policing themselves. I'm not talking about Person A policing Person B, talking about Person A thinking twice before he posts.
These boards are supposed to be fun and stimulating, informative...we're losing that perspective. It's almost getting to the point I skip half the threads nowadays.

HT looks like you are very bored today ;-)
get back to work, we still wait for TOD

HiTech taught me my lesson. I can say Arlo is a poopy head. (Nothing wrong with facts right? :) )
But, you can't say they are posting garbage.
Right on HT! wtg, keeping this board G-Rated.

LOL,
Sorry I couldn't resist. I'm a weiner. :D Oh crap did I just lock this from insulting myself. damit this is harder than I thought. hehehe
Most interesting fun I've had on the BBs in a while HT.:aok

Oh, and sorry, i was the one that called twitchy a moron. I apologize but i felt that he deserved it by his actions over the past couple of days, and i just spoke my mind....

/ Humor off.
I take it that since you asked a question of me in the other thread and it was locked, you still wanted an answer.
I suppose that if you just slam a lock on EVERY thread with ANY semblance of ANY violation, it might work. I'm not saying that is a completely bad thing. If this is your intention, then give it a free two week trial. If it works, stick with it. No problems with that.
I was just proposing that if only some threads were locked, the enforcement could be seen as selective and heavy handed, and cause as much or more trouble as it resolves. The fact that perception is personal, and that opinions are subjective is dangerous to ignore. So long as you leave absolutely no room for anyone to view any locking as selective or subjective, no reasonable person will take issue. The rest you can and probably should ban. However, if room for doubt is left, there can be problems that could snowball.
I'm behind you all the way for what you intend to make happen. I'm just playing Devil's Advocate for presenting possible problems with the implementation.

ok i gotta question. are post in the O club exempt from this? i think you know what thread i am refering to and though I see your point and understand why you allowed it to continue for so long arent you using a double standard? My point being you allowed it in another thread so didnt that set a pecedent that says its ok to post the same type of things you dont want posted now?
-
Im seeing the need for 2 ammendments.
4. Anyone who in my view is perposly posting to close a thread will be band for the duration of the expermint.
5. If a thread is locked, any flaming of the person who caused the thread to be locked will also be banned. I.E. If a thread gets locked, let it go and if you want to continue the thread topic discusion just start a new thread.
-
And yes, I get the clue.
-
So, does this mean Arlo is still a poopy head?

I agree with those.
-
well so far I can see one bad disadvantage to this. Time and attention of HT is being consumed on monitoring of these threads and locking them while a legitimate attempt to get some input on another thread is being ignored.
Gotta run for a while. I should make it back about Experiment 7 or so. :D

:confused: Why is this thread getting repeated over and over again???

I agree but you may want to warn the first time offenders and make sure they understand the rules. Case in point see Jay 1988. Some will not know what is going on and then lose privlidges for a week.

Fair enough. Do it for two weeks instead of one, and if it works, stick with it.

6. Any thread that has 3 or more words spelled incorrectly will be locked.
NOW THAT IS HARSH !!! :p

Im somewhat unsure if I am supposed to take this at face value, but thats what I am doing.
I dont think I like the Idea of having locks slammed on threads all over the place. I do understand the conserns of HTC with the way this place can easily get out of hand.
I cant say Iv ever personaly had a problem with being flamed here. The reason I believe is I try to think out my post ahead of time and If I add some humor, I try to make clear that any comments are in jest. I try to treat most everyone here with respect.
Would locking threads help more people get a clue? I dont believe it will. I think those that tend to explode will do so, no matter what. About the only thing it might do is encourage the respectful posters to stay respectful.
So is this a Beer and Pretzels event? :)
