The Locking of the Avril Thread

A) ILX is obsessed with me (especially the hstencil guy who is sooo desperate to rip me a new asshole he inadvertedly ripped a friend of mine's one in the process and THEN started on me only after he saw his fault. Fucking moron).

B) Avril Lavigne is well hot. Love these lips!

hstencil: get a life dude. I'm flattered that you want to spend so much time on me, but it's only taking up valuable time that you could be spending doing something far more worthwhile for this world... and yourself.

WAX ON, WAX OFF!

(P.S. If you drop me an email I'll send you some more pics. I'm happy to oblige).

PAINT THE FENCE!

Calum Robert Waddell is fair game? Oh good.

Calum to be fair I don't think you get to complain about people who've made their point already and who continue to go on & on & on & on & on & on & on long after everybody'd gotten the point & moved on

"beautiful insightful avril thread!
what a pity andrew nf rendered it dead
all those thoughts and opinions forevermore stopped
when the devil of wh3rd rendered it locked

In the summer of the year two thousand and four
when young calum's threads had become such a bore...

(etc etc for something like 100 verses)

probably not quite, but still pretty damned harrowing. to my dismay, not the best date movie.

Except when someone takes advantage of that to assume it is an indulgence on the mods part and therefore open to abuse.

The Locking of the Avril Thread

or would it be bosch?

We’re building fires that will burn until morning
The smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make
We feel the steam as it rises around us
Up from the soil that is cracking it’s back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that sing
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you’re musclebound all night long

(aka, any given day in a mod's life)

I just want to chime in that I agree with this. It makes no sense to lock a thread just because of who starts it rather than because there's any offensive content in it.

stupid threads include ones started because the author didn't use the search function first (tho fair enough if they state they did but found nothing tho another poster may know of a previous thread)

they also include threads that are repetition in premise e.g. most of calum's threads. nodody else really does that, that's why they get so much attention when discussing this issue. they make a few people laugh (but for the fifth/tenth/fiftieth time tho?) but seem to irritate more. if anything most people are indifferent and ignore them and that's fair enough too. there appears to be no 'solution' to this 'problem'. but surely everyone would agree that making the same not-that-funny-in-the-first-place joke over and over again on a much loved and valued message board is bad form? the 'tone' of them seems 'disrespectful' as well as half-baked opinions are spouted without real foundation. not that this is offensive, just kinda annoying really.

i don't mind the copycat threads so much altho i guess that joke wears pretty thin pretty quick too.

More proof that lockism is the new rockism -- authentication is to lockism what authenticity is to rockism!

I don't care who starts a thread! If it's interesting, it has a right to live. It should only be aborted if it contains something really scary. The thread I linked had nothing wrong with it whatsoever. I agree with J0hn -- positive re-inforcement is the only solution. What's wrong with someone trying to show they're a good citizen? Even if it's a ruse, if it's taken at face value it may well settle into a permanent attitude. As for 'tiring', the tiring thing is surely running around trying to lock any and every thread by a particular poster. At the moment all anyone is proving is that Calum is right when he says 'ILX is obsessed with me'. He must be loving it.
