Why? Just why?
I don't participate in many BBS, so my commentary is perhaps less broadly informed on this topic.
However, WTF is so attractive about, just prior (ideally last) to the inevitable Skuzzy lock, posting to an obviously moribund thread? We all know which ones they are, generally, with notable exceptions being those that take a bad turn.
Do other BBS have a similar bent?
I've noticed that, yes, I like it too. There's something really satisfying about getting IN before the lock.

If you have a question, why not just send him a PM with questions on the rule? :headscratch:
Otherwise, this is just going to be another locked thread.

Oh, but that was all part of the "master plan for irony" Mister Fork...
I should add, also, that nowhere in this thread do I ask WHY threads get locked. Anybody who's bothered to read the forum rules and seen a lock or two knows.
However, I do find it odd that I, a person generally as serious and purposeful as I should be, still find it fun to do the IBtL thing. It's both childish and fun.

There are certain topics here that went posted, causes a lot of name calling, finger pointing, and down right nasty responses. People here are passionate about religion, politics, and race discussions. Either of these three topics tend to end in them being locked, forum accounts suspended, and feelings hurt. Hence rule 14.
They really never end well hence why they're in the rules - just our own experience I guess in running this forum. I've been using online forums since the early 1980's and the three RPR topics never ever have ended well in any discussion format online. And when we see them, they're auto locked.
Don't take it personal, it's just that this isn't the place to discuss those three items.
-
Sure - and I never do take it personally. Skuzzy has a mission and he's, by God, trying to make the forum friendly and accommodating to all, not just to the bottom-feeding locker-room talkers and political flame-posters. Generally, I think he plays a pretty even-handed role and is true to his purpose.
One obviously poisonous thread came up today. I jumped at the chance, and this is truly silly, not to post on the topic (which I knew to be toxic and off-limits), but to put two stupid lines of text IN there that used all caps to highlight the word IN in the four embedded places I used it. Sure enough, not an hour later, that thread was locked...
But I felt pretty good, because I'd posted in it. It's just a strange phenomenon - that I should feel so satisfied about something so trivial .
-
It's sorta like a facepalm.....
I do wish, sometimes, Skuzzy would let some of them go a bit longer, they're SO much fun...

I'm sure it's not the same, but is issuing rule ##'s feel as good as a firm head slap? :devil

I was IN, because the guy stood up and spoke his mind.
Even tho he knew he would be hammered down, BANG BANG BANG! He did it anyway!
And I :salute that!

Just a thought here...
I'm sure Skuzzy has enough to do without doing daycare duty on the boards. I too have been guilty of having a post or two getting ruled. I try to police myself but get pulled in to a discussion sometimes and boom. I do not take it to heart. I generally know if I am pushing the envelope. IF I feel that way I either change it to something silly or at least take the edge off my post.
The last perfect man walked this earth over 2000 years ago. Has not been one since. We can however try to make Skuzzy's job easier by doing our best to police ourselves.
I'll stop now before I fracture a rule. :)

Actually, I think Shuffler's pointed to the graceful exit, and I choose the modifier carefully.
Given that Skuzzy is right here, I think people have appropriately acknowledged gratitude for his relatively thankless task on this BBS. That's worth an echo, here.
I'd also thank him for making it fun for a fifty plus year old man to try to athletically slide his creaking joints under that rapidly closing security door with an " in before the lock" post.

sum like to get in on a locked post. just being part of the untouchable and saying you were there; knowing the violation severity and due process, the opportunity to "tag" a post leaves you in lights and allows for pointless posting (also a rule violation but i do not se it enforced). :devil
then there are the hi-horse "ins". they want in because they disagree with the op and wants to let that known And rub in the fact the op is going down.
we also have the casual observer who joins by chance and is tickled by some random humor.
and last there is the true IN. when you luck out and find a ripe topic. you made it in and its going to be a fun ride. this is best on weekends and after 5 pm. unfortunately satellite log-ins of salaried monitors results in a more volatile presence of, the lock. :cool:

See, here's part of the problem: too many youngsters. No maturity, if you grasp my meaning.
