I mean this is getting out of hand constant locking of threads doesnt give the first page of General Chat a good look now does it. If this continues at the rate it is i can see this place going to buggery.

Well obviously they have to lock threads on illegal file sharing/downloading!
otherwize they'll be sued,and shut down.

Anyway its very common for Forums to have lots of locked threads, people get carried away with there opinions and its better to close threads, its the way the world works im afraid.

Also id find it very funny if this thread was locked(hint hint)

threads get locked for good reason.. i can think of a few recent examples that needed locking long before they got it. crowd control is key.

Compared to other sites I visit (read xbox.com and playstation.com) I think our mods do a fine job with the threads. We have had some very civil discussions regarding things like the PS3 where other sites would have shut them down ASAP. I believe this is because with so many users it is impossible to have a civil talk. So it is just easier to stop it before it gets started.

Just as an example, not one of the threads you linked made me thing "Why did they do that?". So I for one say "Great Job Mods, keep up the good work."

i actually went through that list of dead posts. they all diserved to be killed.. most of them long before they did. sorry if you think your .. ummm.. video debut.. diserved to hang around longer, when all u made it was a flame war, same with some other threads. quit crying and go play a game.

Gaz, leave it to the mods to sort out any problems with the site

But yes, all those threads were breaking the rules of the site...they had to be closed.
