Competition is vital for a healthy marketplace.
Would you consider retitling your thread something else? Something with a strong trademark that contains the word "rap" to suit your business needs but does not contain the words "face tat", to avoid product confusion among the common consumers of rap threads?

It was me that locked it, I thought it was another of the five or six dumb threads started to make a point.
Honestly I think having a second rap thread just for the sake of having 'rap' in the title is pretty dumb as well but if it's healthy competition you're after then I hope you're prepared for the free market to have its say.

you should probably let the young whippersnapper that started this thread know that we're locking dumb threads started to make a point:
Plastic wedging material Yer listening to the streets Lock down your aerial Make yerself at home rolling rap 2018

I’m sorry — it’s not my intention to “abuse it,” whatever that means (sorry if that seems to make the apology count less I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong)
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:28 (five years ago) link
you are not abusing it; it simply needs to be left alone for a day or two

I get anxious just reading it and it’s the type of broken interaction model that almost killed me a decade ago. Just not healthy for anyone.

You can’t just lock a thread when it’s become toxic. Like playing god

I wish we could get a licensed therapist on retainer to help referee in cases like what's been happening in that thread.

I’m no libertarian, but I am very much against activist modding and having mental health specialists on standby.

The over the top love for The 1975, especially on ilm, I consider a long game con. It makes no sense otherwise.

They aren't on my radar at all, so I relistened to some stuff to make sure and then I did research to make sure this wasn't like a longform reddit type of joke.

I avoid ilm threads just so I don’t have to hear about bands like that! what are you all doing
― mh, Saturday, 18 August 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link
I only looked because it was the cause of some angst and I did the Arrested Development "...her?!?" when I realized it was about that band.
